Ocean currents are like rivers in the sea, and they move water around the globe. These moving waters carry heat, which helps make some places warm and others cold. For example, if a current brings warm water to a place, that place gets warmer weather, just like a blanket on your bed makes you feel cozy.
Examples
- A warm current brings cozy winters to Europe, just like a hot cup of cocoa warms your hands.
- Cold water from the Pacific can make California’s weather change all year long.
