Question

Which ocean current determines weather changes?

Answer 1

The correct answer is - water.

The water circulation in the oceans is one of the biggest factors that determine the climate of a place. This circulation of the ocean waters occurs because of differences in the properties of the water in different places, like different temperatures, densities, salinity. The warmer, less dense waters move as surface currents, while the colder, more dense waters move as deep currents. The warm ones are moving form the low latitudes towards the higher latitudes, while the cold ones from the high latitudes towards the low latitudes. The warm currents bring in warmer and wetter climate to the places they affect, while the cold currents bring in cold and dry climate to the places they affect.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Gulf Stream determines climate change.

Thermohaline circulation occurs due to the difference in the temperatures, densities, and salinities of the waters, and determines climate changes.

Explanation:

The gulf current has a strong influence on climate change. This current starts in the Gulf of Mexico, having the capacity to reach Florida and continue on to western Europe, changing the climate of these countries and making them warmer.

Thermoaline circulation is a circulation of ocean water that occurs worldwide. This circulation is influenced by differences in temperature and density in ocean waters.
