Unit 4 The importance of oceans
... Difference in temperature leads to the different density of water over various parts of the ocean. The result is warmer water moves from tropical areas to polar areas while colder water moves from polar areas to tropical areas. Ocean currents influence the temperature of the coastal regions they f ...
