Question

How does the ocean conveyor belt affect the climate in western europe ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The warm water that the ocean conveyor belt carries northwards, releases

heat into the atmosphere, keeping western Europe warm.

Explanation:

The Ocean conveyor belt, also known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning

Circulation (AMOC), "starts" in waters between Greenland and Scotland, more than one thousand miles away, in the north-east Atlantic.

The Atlantic conveyor belt, moves warm water from the tropics, up north to western Europe.

Without it, in winters, the UK, could be 5C colder.

I hope it helps!
