The sun is what drives all weather on Earth but the ocean directs the sun's energy to different parts of the world. Oceans have the ability to absorb, store, and deliver the sun's energy.
Ocean currents carry warmer water from the tropics into colder regions. The heat from that warmer water escapes into the atmosphere as it travels, creating warmer, rainier weather than might otherwise be expected.
Upwellings along the California coast bring cold water up from the bottom of the ocean. This is why beaches along the continental pacific coast never really have warm water (compared to the Atlantic coast) even in summer. Winds carry this ambient temperature onto land which is why the coast of California remains in a range between about 50-75 degrees all year long. Climates that rely on ocean temperatures in coastal regions are considered "Maritime" climates.
The Sierra mountains inland force air up the mountain slope, which results in precipitation and rain shadow on the leeward side of the range. The climate in this area is very hot and dry, resulting in the deserts in the western US. This is considered a "Continental" climate because it is not really affected by the ocean temperature. Continental climates typically have much more drastic temperature changes not only in different seasons, but also diurnally (daily).
Winds are the result of air moving from different areas of high and low pressure. The larger the different in pressure, the stronger the winds become. Winds and ocean currents are responsible for distributing warmer temperatures from the equator to the rest of the world.
The oceans give off heat and coolness and weather the area around it. Also, when this happens, the climate of the area changes
What else can I help you with?
How does the ocean affect the costal climate?
The ocean affect the coastal climate because water takes longer to heat and to cool than the land does and thus the climate of places that are near the ocean are moderated by the water.
Can ocean affect climate?
Because of weather
Which factor do you think has a stronger effect on climate the atmosphere or the ocean?
atmosphere
How plate tectonics affect climate?
by changing ocean circulation
What does not affect earths climate zones?
Well, an example of something that does not affect earth's climate zones would be a piece of lint on your carpet
What are the factor that affect the climate of a place?
ocean currents
Do ocean affect your climate?
yes it does.
How does the ocean affect the costal climate?
The ocean affect the coastal climate because water takes longer to heat and to cool than the land does and thus the climate of places that are near the ocean are moderated by the water.
How can ocean affect climate?

Can ocean affect climate?
Because of weather
What is elements of climate?
An element of climate is a factor that can affect the weather and thus the climate of a region
How do we affect the Atlantic ocean?
i think your words are flipped. You may mean "How does the Atlantic ocean affect the climate?" If that is your question, the ocean currents have a major impact on the climate of some countries because the temperature of the ocean current can affect the surrounding regions. You should look into ocean currents.
What is the factor that has the greatest affect on soil formation?
Climate
How do ocean currents affect coastal climate temperature?
no
What are the factors that affect the climate of a place?
ocean currents
Which factor do you think has a stronger effect on climate the atmosphere or the ocean?
atmosphere
What climate control factor affect your local climateWhat are the 5 factors that affect climate on a local scale?
The climate control factors that affect local climate include latitude, altitude, proximity to bodies of water, ocean currents, and prevailing wind patterns. The five factors that affect climate on a local scale are latitude, altitude, topography, proximity to water bodies, and prevailing wind patterns.
