How do ocean currents, as influenced by past geological changes, contribute to redistributing heat and carbon around the planet? The development of ocean currents has been molded largely through past alterations in geology, such as changes in the movement of tectonic plates and the structure of the continents. These currents also transport warm water from the equator to the poles and cold water from the poles to the equator, which will help regulate global temperatures. Ocean currents also aid in the balance between the atmosphere and the deep ocean … Continue reading Geological changes and ocean current in redistribuition of heat and carbon
