Sunlight warms the waters on the ocean surface. Some heat  energy is transferred to cooler waters through convection.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Convection is the process through which the heat energy is transferred from the hot water to the cool water. In the Ocean when water from different areas in different temperatures comes together convection happens.

Sunlight heats the surface water then the heated water when moves up pushes the cold water to attain its position. Sunlight when touches the ocean surface warms it and then the warmth travels across the cooler waters through the process of convection. Convection is the heat transferring process and this temperature difference creates the ocean current.

How status of women changing in Monsoon Asia? What countries' religious practices impede women's rights?
Andreas93 [3]
Buddhism teaches that women should be obedient to their husband, but husbands should respect their wives.

So that could have changed their status for the better seeing as women were liberated all over the world starting from Arabia.

Daoism teaches that women and men are basically equal or complementary of one another. (Yin and Yang)

Hinduism teaches even though they have female ''gods'' women still have a subordinate role to men.

Christianity- women by the teachings of the bible have probably one of the most degraded roles so if they actually practiced the religion by the book women would not be in a good position at all. 

Confucianism- Again has a very low standard for women were they most bear sons and can never remarry again after their husband dies but men could remarry up to two times.

Islam- by the teachings of Islam, though people don't give it any credit if the people were to follow the teachings by the book, women are held in a high status but people often misunderstand because of the modesty measures.
 
It was actually the first religion to give many rights including racial rights.
