ocean currents Flashcards
1
Q
movement of warm currents
A
warm currents transfer heat energy from the equator towards the poles
2
Q
movement of cold currents
A
move cold water from the polar regions towards the equator
3
Q
why is the transfer of heat energy significant
A
directly affects air temperature - therefore affects sub aerial processes of weathering and mass movement
