Oceans have a moderating effect on the temperature of nearby land, since the large amount of water has a large heat capacity and it does not change its own temperature as easily as land does.

The sea breeze blows warm air from the ocean to land during the day. The land breeze blows cool air from the ocean to land during the night

Also note that Europe is significantly warmed by an ocean current called the Gulf Stream.

How does ocean pollution affect global warming?

Global warming does not really affect ocean pollution. However, ocean pollution is something that is effecting global warming. This is because the pollutants are what is causing the warming trend.


How does the effect of global warming on ocean disrupt disrupt the water cycle?

Global warming has the effect of increasing the water that is evaporated from the Earth's surface. This fills up the clouds and produces more rain and snow in humid areas.

Global warming examples include rising temperatures, rising ocean levels, and decreases in global land and sea ... A global average temperature rise of 2 degrees Celsius or less in coming years.


Will sea water temperature become higher due to global warming?

80% of the heat in the planet's ecosystem is stored in the oceans, and more than 90% of the global warming (see link: infographic on where global warming is going - John Cook). The oceans have been generally getting warmer over the last 40 years (see link: ocean and global warming - John Cook). This effect can be measured directly by buoys that sink through the ocean, measuring water temperature at different depths, and indirectly through thermal expansion. The oceans act as a heat sink and provide a damping effect on the increase in atmospheric temperatures due to global warming. Unfortunately, this means that atmospheric temperatures are likely to continue to rise for some time even if we we manage to stabilise greenhouse gases. However the more greenhouse gases we realease, the higher the final temperature will eventually be.


What effect does global warming have on tides?

Global warming can cause a rise in sea levels, which can lead to higher high tides and an increased risk of coastal flooding. The warming also affects ocean currents and can alter tidal patterns in some regions.


Does global warming effect the land or the ocean more?

Global warming affects both land and ocean, but its impact is more pronounced on the ocean. Warmer temperatures can lead to sea level rise, ocean acidification, and changes in ocean currents, which can disrupt marine ecosystems and jeopardize marine species. The land also experiences effects like wildfires, droughts, and heatwaves due to global warming.


How is global warming destroying your icecaps?

Global Warming is the gradual raising of the overall average temperature of the Earth. This seemingly small amount can equate to large effects to the icecaps, melting them. This can cause ocean levels rising.


What major ocean can be affected by global warming?

The Arctic Ocean is particularly vulnerable to global warming due to its already fragile ecosystem and rapid rates of sea ice melt. The warming temperatures are causing drastic changes in the region, impacting marine life, indigenous communities, and global climate patterns.


How are people affected by oil spills in your ocean environment?

Oil spills can effect the ocean and environment because it polutes the ocean and the air which can start to cause global warming, (WEATHER AN CLIMATE CHANGE).
