In noon, the sun being high in the sky, increases the temperature of the atmosphere. The oceans 'absorbs' the heat from the atmosphere as heat always travels from hotter substances to cooler substances and the water becomes hot. As hot water is lighter than cold water, it rises up. The cold rushes to take the place of the hot water. This rush of the cold water creates fast currents.

What causes the sun to be higher in the sky at noon in the summer?

The sun is higher in the sky at noon in the summer due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. During summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, resulting in longer days and a higher sun angle. This angle causes the sun to reach its peak point in the sky at noon during the summer months.

When asked the time of the day a problem-posing professor answered If you add one-eighth of the time from noon until now to one-quarter the time from now until noon tomorrow you get the time exact?

The professor is referring to the concept of a proportion. If you add 1/8 of the time elapsed from noon until the current time to 1/4 of the time remaining from the current time until noon tomorrow, the result will be the exact current time. This is a way to challenge students to think about fractions, proportions, and time calculations in a problem-solving context.
