Answer and Explanation:

Warm air tends to rise, and cold air tends to fall, consequently, the hot air of the equator rises and at the same time the cold air of the poles descends to the ground. This generates wind currents that displace heat throughout the atmosphere.

The movement of water creates ocean currents that transport energy heat up the biosphere. Surface ocean currents heat or cool the air above
