ANSWER:

Ocean currents act as large rivers in the Earth's oceans and spread Earth's heat and thereby bring about climatic changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Ocean currents act more like conveyor belts transporting warm air and water from the equator towards the poles.
  • The ocean currents carry heat of the earth across the earth thereby bringing about climatic changes.
  • The place to which ocean currents carry warm air and water experiences warm temperature and vice versa.
