  • If the ocean currents are fast then the soil corrosion will happen .
  • The saltiness will mix up with river and pollute them
  • The Rain will happen in less or huge amount which may affect the climate .

Answer:Ocean currents act as conveyer belts of warm and cold water, sending heat toward the polar regions and helping tropical areas cool off, thus influencing both weather and climat

Step-by-step explanation: Land areas also absorb some sunlight, and the atmosphere helps to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.
