How is weather influenced by moisture, air temperature, and ocean temperature?
-The ocean absorbs and stores heat. This heat makes the coastal areas more temperate than others.
-Warm water is ev

What role does the ocean play in weather?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The ocean influences weather patterns by distributing heat and moisture around the globe

Describe the difference between weather and climate.
-Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere 'behaves' over relatively long period of time.
-Weather is short

How has sea level changed over time?
- They have risen and fallen continuously. Glaciers, ice sheets, and the temperature aid in the rising and falling of the sea level. 120 meters since the ice age.
What do scientists predict will happen to coastal areas around the globe in 50-100-500 years?
-the coastal regions will disappear as the ice and glaciers continue to melt. The could rise by 6 ft this century.

How is the freezing point of ocean water influenced by salt?
-t the freezing temperature of pure water, molecules enter and leave the solid at the same rate. However, adding salt to the mixture disrupts this. Under normal conditions, water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. However, by adding salt, the water will cause the freezing point to become lower.

How do the oceans act as "sinks" for thermal energy?
-cold dense saline water sinks at high latitudes. it pushes water deeper toward the lower parts of the ocean
If there were no oceans where would that thermal energy go?

How do the oceans act as "sinks" for carbon dioxide?
-Carbon dioxide readily dissolves in water and the oceans provide a huge reservoir ofcarbon. Across the world's oceans there is a continual cycle of equilibration of dissolved carbon dioxide in water with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. ... Thecarbon dioxide which dissolves in our oceans occurs in three main forms.
If there were no oceans, where would the carbon dioxide go?
-Back into the atmosphere.
