Imagine the ocean as a giant river that never stops moving. These moving waters carry heat from one part of the world to another, and this helps decide if it’s warm or cold where you live. For example, when the warm water moves toward Europe, it keeps places like England nice and cozy even in winter.
Examples
- Cold currents near Australia help keep parts of Africa cooler.
- When a warm current reaches South America, it brings rain to places like Brazil.
