Answer:
Ocean currents are like conveyor belts which transfer temperatures.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Weather of our planet Earth is largely driven by the oceans. They act as heat retaining solar panels.
- They absorb majority of the radiation emitted from the sun. Land areas absorb heat, the climate on earth helps to retain or radiate into the space after sunset.
- Ocean currents are "movements of water in a continuous flow" triggered by temperature, earth’s rotation, surface winds.
- They send warm water from the equator pointing towards the poles and "cold water from the poles" back to the tropic areas.
