tHE OCEANS AND THE WEATHER
- The atmosphere does not determine the weather by itself. It has a less obvious but essential partner: the ocean.
- Such connections between the ocean and the atmosphere can influence, and often dominate, changes in the weather and longer-term climate everywhere.
- The ocean is the engine that drives seasonal shifts in weather.
- Solar heating at high latitudes is reduced even further in winter, when the axis of the planet tilts away from the sun.
- The ocean also generates intense storms at lower latitudes, in or around certain tropical regions.
- In the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific off Mexico and California, these storms are called hurricanes after the Mayan god of winds, Hunraken.
- In the Indian Ocean and near northern Australia, they are known as cyclones, a variation of the Greek word for “coiled serpent.”
- In the northwestern Pacific, they are called typhoons, from the Chinese phrase for “great wind,” tai fung.
Earth is totally different from what it would be if it had no ocean. The ocean, and life in the ocean, have constructed the planet. Because it control the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and they dominate earth's carbon cycle. The ocean is an important part of the Earth System, and it influences the transformation of energy and materials important to the climate system. On the most basic level, the ocean has shaped our atmosphere..
There are 10 ways to save the ocean;
1. Mind Your Carbon Footprint and Reduce Energy Consumption
2. Make Safe, Sustainable Seafood Choices
3. Use Fewer Plastic Products
4. Help Take Care of the Beach
5. Don't Purchase Items That Exploit Marine Life
6. Be an Ocean-Friendly Pet Owner
7. Support Organizations Working to Protect the Ocean
8. Influence Change in Your Community
9. Travel the Ocean Responsibly
10. Educate Yourself About Oceans and Marine Life
So what?
- The ocean has a big role in the Earth. Protect ocean is protect ourselves,
What if?
- all ocean become black ocean?
Says who?
- Peter J. Webster and Judith A. Curry.
What does this remind me of?
- This reminds me of " Ocean: My World "
