What is influenced by climate latitude altitude and currents?
Climate is influenced by latitude, altitude, and ocean currents. Latitude affects the amount of sunlight received, altitude affects temperature and precipitation patterns, and ocean currents transport heat to different regions, impacting temperatures and precipitation as well.
Is it true or false that ocean temperatures and currents have major effects on world climates?
This is true. We have just learned about this in are physical science class. The way the current moves through the ocean can cause different temperatures at different places. hope i could help
How are ocean currents like wind currents?
Both ocean currents and wind currents are fluid movements caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface. They both redistribute heat and nutrients around the globe, affecting local climates and ecosystems. Additionally, they both follow specific patterns and can influence weather patterns.
What relationship do you see occurring between the temperature of a current and the temperature of the land area where it is located think coastal areas?
Coastal areas are influenced by the temperature of the nearby ocean currents. Warm ocean currents can lead to higher temperatures and milder climates in coastal areas, while cold ocean currents can result in cooler temperatures and more extreme weather conditions. The temperature of a current can therefore impact the temperature of the land area it is located near, affecting local climate patterns.
How do ocean currents carry heat around the globe?
Oceans have a constant heating and cooling cycle to maintain the Earth's temperature. They absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere which reduces the temperature. They all emit heat that is absorbed from sunlight increasing the temperature.
What causes mild climates in Europe?
ThE ocean currents
How do ocean surface currents cause milder climates?
Ocean currents can carry warm water. As they are traveling, the warm water they are carrying warms up the air near them. The warmed air may then also warm the land around it, making the temperature of the land near the ocean currents milder.
Is it true that only warm ocean currents influence climates?
yes it is true that only warm ocean currents that influence climate
How does ocean life affect ocean currents?
It's more likely the other way around. Ocean currents affect ocean life. Perhaps in a subtle way, since all life on the planet affects the atmosphere, especially the algae in the oceans releasing oxygen, that ocean life affects the weather, which in turn affects the ocean currents. It's also possible that some "seaweed forests" slow the movement of currents.
How do ocean currents affects climates?
Ocean currents affect climate because they are able to change the temperature of the shores where the currents move to. Warm currents are able to prevent ice formation on some shores and beach lines. This gives the area relatively warmer temperatures throughout the year. The Gulf Stream (a warm current from Mexico to Europe) keeps Western Europe much warmer than the corresponding latitudes in North America. Ocean currents can have a great affect on the neighboring regions. These currents bring temperature and weather changes to these areas. Deep ocean currents changes the temperature and salinity. With the temperature changing, it affects climate.
Plate tectonics change climates by changing the ocean currents?
latitude of land
What kind of ocean currents that affects the Philippines?
Boracay islands. =)
Explain how heat energy carried by ocean currents influences climate?
Ocean currents transfer heat energy from warmer regions to cooler regions, affecting the climate in those areas. Warm ocean currents can lead to milder climates, while cold currents can bring cooler temperatures. These temperature variations can impact weather patterns, precipitation levels, and overall climate conditions in the surrounding regions.
What do the ocean currents transport?
Ocean currents will carry anything from small plankton accross ocean to helping other marine life find warmer or colder waters. to ocean currents can also help guide ships across bodies of water. the ocean currents will also redistribute the density in the ocean water.
How do ocean currents originate and affect Earths climates?
How are atmospheric gases like the glass in a greenhouse
Does patterns of heating and cooling result in ocean currents?
No, tectonic plates underground and the moon affects the ocean
How could ocean currents affect microscopic marine life?
it affects everything
