Imagine the ocean as a giant conveyor belt. When the Earth gets warmer, it messes up how water moves around. This is like adding too much sugar to your coffee, it changes the whole taste. The currents help move heat and nutrients around the world. If they stop working right, it can affect weather patterns and even life in the sea.
Examples
- A warm bubble of water stays on top instead of going down, like a cup of coffee that doesn’t mix.
- The Gulf Stream slows down and might stop altogether, making Europe colder than it used to be.
