Tropical waters, while beautiful, have high light levels and are nutrient poor. The murkier temperate oceans are nutrient dense and have low light levels allowing for abundant plankton and algae formation.
Oceans are deep, mountains are tall.
The temperatures of the world's oceans are increase by not only SOME of the heat rays from the sun but also from the winds that fly over the oceans. The winds carry hot (or cold) currents that fluxuate the temperatures of the water beneath it.
water is able to absorb large amounts of heat without significantly changing its temperature.
Oceans cause the land masses near by to have more moderate temperatures. (Cooler summers and warmer winters.)
Temperate oceans typically experience mild and moderate weather conditions. They have relatively stable temperatures and receive moderate amounts of precipitation throughout the year. Seasonal variations in temperature and weather patterns are generally less extreme compared to tropical or polar regions.
Oceans moderate Earth's temperature by absorbing and storing heat from the Sun during the day and releasing it slowly at night, creating a more stable climate. The vast volume of water in the oceans also helps distribute heat around the planet through ocean currents, regulating temperatures globally. Additionally, water has a high specific heat capacity, meaning it can absorb a lot of heat before its temperature changes significantly, which helps to regulate the Earth's overall temperature.
it can be from 2degrees to 36degrees
climate
first of all, hawaii has a very hot climate and it's also very humid there too. there are also volcanoes and salty oceans. alaska has very cold temperatures and it is also very snowy there. they also have salty oceans. also they both have a very low population due to temperatures and extreme to moderate storms which could ethier kill you or seriously injure you.
No. Currents in the air and oceans are caused by the heat from the sun.
Cold oceans tend to have lower average temperatures, which can lead to the presence of sea ice and icebergs. They also tend to have high levels of dissolved oxygen and support a diverse range of marine life adapted to cold temperatures, such as seals, penguins, and cold-water fish species. Cold oceans may experience seasonal variations in temperature and can be influenced by factors such as currents and upwelling.
