Unusually warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico would impact the ocean currents and atmosphere by establishing convection currents and raising the temperature of the surrounding regions.
<u>Explanation:</u>
When the waters become unusually warm, their density decreases and they establish a convection current in the oceans.
The warm water flows over the cold, denser water and releases its heat into the atmosphere giving rise to the temperature levels in the region.
Metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure changing the original or parent rock into a completely new rock. The parent rock can be either sedimentary, igneous, or even another metamorphic rock. The word metamorphic comes from Greek and means To Change Form
