Question

The Energy in the Ocean and Atmosphere

Answer 2

Energy in the Ocean and Atmosphere

Step-by-step explanation:

Wind-driven and ocean-current circulations move warm water toward the poles and colder water toward the equator. The ocean can store much more heat than the land surfaces on the Earth. The majority of the thermal energy at the Earth's surface is stored in the ocean.
