How do ocean currents affect the climate
rodikova [14]

The world’s ocean is crucial to heating the planet. While land areas and the atmosphere absorb some sunlight, the majority of the sun’s radiation is absorbed by the ocean. Particularly in the tropical waters around the equator, the ocean acts a as massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Earth’s atmosphere also plays a part in this process, helping to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.

The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. 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, often vast distances. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area.

Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides (the gravitational effects of the sun and moon). Major current systems typically flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, in circular patterns that often trace the coastlines.

<span>Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.</span>

The Continental Divide
Ipatiy [6.2K]

The correct answer is C, Divides the flow of river systems in the United States into east and west.

Explanation

The continental divide is the name of the main hydrological divide in America. The divide is a mountain range that divides the eastern and western slopes. Those that are considered eastern run until they reach the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, while those that are considered western run until they reach the Pacific ocean. In the case of North America, it begins in Alaska, goes through the north of Alaska to Canada where it goes south. It continues through the western region of Canada towards the south until it reaches the United States where it crosses the states of Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, and Wyoming. Later, it reaches the Mexican territory, where it takes a central road through the middle of the country until it reaches the southern countries of Mexico, such as Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. According to the above, the correct answer is C. divides the flow of river systems in the United States into east and west
