Energy is moved from areas of surplus to those of deficit, with warm currents transporting warm water pole-wards and cold currents taking colder water to lower latitudes. Water is transferred ...

The speed and extent of current global warming exceeds any similar event in the past 2,000 years, researchers say. They show that famous historic events like the "Little Ice Age" don't compare ...

The name El Niño (referring to the Christ child) was originally given by Peruvian fishermen to a warm current that appeared every year around Christmas. What we now call El Niño seemed to them ...

Energy is moved by ocean currents from areas of strong heating to cooler areas: warm currents transport warmer water from lower latitudes (nearer the equator) to higher latitudes (nearer the poles ...

More specifically, ocean currents influence the temperature of the regions through which they travel. For example, warm currents traveling along more temperate coasts increase the temperature of the ...

It works like this - The warm waters from tropical regions are carried up to the North Atlantic where the current sinks them deep into the oceans, with cooler waters then returning south in their ...
