Question

Currents affect climate by

Answer 1

Answer:

The presence of ocean and the ocean currents plays a significant role in controlling the climate on earth. It works like a conveyor belt that carries the warm water from the equatorial region to the polar region, and again brings back the cold water from the poles to the equator. During this movement of water, there forms the low and high pressure zone at different latitudes, that are responsible for rainfall and precipitation.

The ocean currents balances the global climatic conditions and at the same time it also restrains the uneven distribution of the incoming solar radiation that reaches the surface of the earth.

In absence of the ocean currents, there would have occurred extremely hot climate in the equatorial region and super cold climate in the polar region. It would have been difficult for life to exist in a very small and limited area of land.
