How do oceans regulate the climate?

Biology
2 answers:
lorasvet [3.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer

Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds. ... Thus, ocean currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface

Answer:

Ocean currents act much like a conveyor belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, ocean currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.

Gene flow and genetic drift both affect allele frequencies in a population. A high level of gene flow into a population genetic
DaniilM [7]

A high level of gene flow into a population increases genetic diversity in a population. A high level of gene flow out of a population decreases genetic diversity in a population. Genetic drift is the change in allele frequencies due to "sampling error" factors. Typically, genetic drift has the biggest impact on small populations.

Gene flow (or gene migration) is a mechanism of evolution (change the allele frequencies) which transfers genetic variation among populations due to migration. High level of gene flow decreases the genetic differentiation between the two populations.

Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution that acts by chance (“sampling error”) often when a population is reduced in size by a natural disaster (bottleneck effect) or when a small group leaves the main population and forms a colony (founder effect).
