The ocean is like a giant bathtub that helps move weather around the world. When it gets warm, it pushes air up, creating rain and wind far away. When it cools down, it brings cold weather with it. This happens all over the planet, changing the seasons and making storms appear in different places.
Examples
- When the ocean is hot near the equator, it can bring rain to places far away, like the coasts of Africa or South America.
- Cold water rising from deep in the ocean can cause cooler weather and fewer rains in some regions.
- The ocean's movement helps create wind patterns that can be felt all the way across continents.
