Changes in ocean currents
Step-by-step explanation:
- Ocean currents are a continuous and directional flow of ocean water. This is caused by the forces that act on the water like variations in temperature, the waves breaking, salinity, the wind or even the Coriolis effect.
- Ocean currents travel thousands of miles, thereby establishing a conveyor belt globally which brings out the different climatic conditions across the world. The ocean acts either above the surface of the ocean or below the surface of the ocean and moves horizontally or vertically.
- As horizontal currents move towards south or northwards, they carry the warm or cool water over an extended distance. These ocean currents are displaced water that affects the air, by warming or chilling it, and transfers the same effect to the land surface which it blows.
