Question
- the movement of ocean water driven by temperature and salinity differences is called thermohaline circulation
- oceans near the poles are colder than oceans near the tropics because they receive less sunlight
- warm and cold currents can influence the climate of nearby coastal regions.
- if global ocean temperatures continue to rise ocean currents and climate patterns may change.
- many marine species are found only in certain temperature ranges because temperature affects their survival.
- warm ocean water provides energy for making them stronger and more destructive.
- temperature differences in the ocean create which help circulate nutrients and gases essential for marine life.
Brief Explanations
- Warm ocean water supplies energy to hurricanes (or tropical cyclones), enhancing their strength and destructiveness.
- Temperature - driven density differences in the ocean generate ocean currents, which play a key role in nutrient and gas circulation for marine life.
