Question

Describe how the Antarctic Circumpolar Current helps regulate the European climate.

Answer 1

Moving northward, away from Antarctica, the water temperatures rise slowly at first and then rapidly across a sharp gradient. It is the ACC that maintains this boundary. Map of the ocean surface temperature as measured by satellites and analysed by the European Copernicus Marine Services.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current transports warm water from the Pacific Ocean to the northern Atlantic Ocean. This warms the Atlantic Ocean and increases temperatures in the surrounding region. This reduces seasonal fluctuations in European weather patterns
