The ocean is like a giant bathtub that heats up the air around it. When the sun warms the water, water evaporates, making clouds and rain. It also moves warm or cold water far away, which helps push wind and storms toward land. This is why we have different weather all over the world, like how the ocean makes our summer breezy and winter chilly.
Examples
- Warm water flowing into colder regions can cause big storms, just like hot soup spilling onto cold plates.
- When the ocean cools down, it sends out strong winds that push stormy weather toward land.
