The oceans are a great storehouse of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. This helps but is not the determining factor in climate change. There are many ways the ocean affects the earth. You notice that ocean is singular. In truth all of the masses of water flowing into one interconnected system defines it as one although parts have their specific names. The ocean draws thousands of tons of carbon dioxide and this regulates the specific temperature of the globe. From the ocean come vast weather systems derived from it and these inherently water the earth. Since the volume of the seas is massive, and wherever the bulk of the surface rubs the atmosphere, heat is the result. This causes evaporation. The columns of moisture rising into the sky encounter the jet stream and, depending whether it is the cold side or the warm side, it falls as snow or rain.

How does the moon affect our climate?

The moon affects our climate through its gravitational pull, which causes tides in the oceans. These tides can influence ocean currents and circulation patterns, which in turn impact weather patterns and climate. Additionally, the moon's position relative to Earth can affect the distribution of sunlight and heat, further influencing climate.

Why are the oceans important to weather?

Oceans play a critical role in regulating Earth's climate and weather patterns. They store and release heat, influence atmospheric circulation, and contribute to the formation of weather systems such as hurricanes. The exchange of heat and moisture between the oceans and the atmosphere is essential for maintaining the balance of the global climate system.
