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.

What country is the largest island in the caribbean

GarryVolchara [31]

<h2>Answer: Cuba </h2>

Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean Sea (also called the Antilles Sea), belonging to the Republic of Cuba.

It should be noted that Cuba as a country, is actually an archipelago consisting of the Island of Cuba, the Isle of Pines and a large number of keys and small islets; where only the first two islands are considered suitable to support a permanently resident population.

Its climate is classified as humid subtropical, with two clearly defined seasons, the dry season (from November to April) and the rainy season (from May to October) and with fresh continuous breezes throughout the year. This is due to the elongated shape of the island and its position in the Caribbean, which facilitates the trade winds to flow throughout the territory.
