How do ocean currents help distribute the suns heat?
Ocean currents takes place in both air and water. Movements of air are called winds, and movements of water are called currents. Warm air and warm water both flow from the equator toward the poles. Cold air and cold water tend to move from the poles toward the equator. These movements help distribute the suns heat as it shines down on the ocean.
