Principle_3_3-5_May_7_2008, 3 - The ocean provides the energy for severe weather, such as hurricanes, cyclones, and droughts. See principle 6., b - This water eventually cools, condenses and forms precipitation. i.e. the water cycle See Principle 1., i - Wind results from differences in temperature of air masses over ocean and land: warmer air rises, colder air sinks ???? ii - Differences in water and air cause convection currents: warmer water rises, colder water sinks, I - The ocean, which covers over 70% of Earth's surface, controls weather and climate by dominating Earth's energy and water systems. ???? 3 - The ocean provides the energy for severe weather, such as hurricanes, cyclones, and droughts., The ocean is a major influence on weather and climate. I - The ocean, which covers over 70% of Earth's surface, controls weather and climate by dominating Earth's energy and water systems., A - The ocean absorbs and holds much of the light & heat energy from the sun that reaches the Earth. 1 - The ocean absorbs and holds more heat than the land., I - The ocean, which covers over 70% of Earth's surface, controls weather and climate by dominating Earth's energy and water systems. ???? 2 - Light & heat energy from the sun warms and evaporates water from the ocean. Most water in the air comes from the ocean., iii - Most of the water that evaporates and condenses to form precipitation originates from tropical ocean waters. b - This water eventually cools, condenses and forms precipitation., 2 - Light & heat energy from the sun warms and evaporates water from the ocean. Most water in the air comes from the ocean. ???? iii - Most of the water that evaporates and condenses to form precipitation originates from tropical ocean waters., a - Temperature fluctuations of air masses over the ocean are less than those over land. The ocean moderates coastal weather i - Wind results from differences in temperature of air masses over ocean and land: warmer air rises, colder air sinks
