Ocean Currents: Earth's Invisible Climate Shapers
Explore how massive underwater rivers reshape global climates, from the Gulf Stream warming Britain to deadly current collisions that sank the Titanic.
Best quote from Ocean Currents: Earth's Invisible Climate Shapers
Ocean currents are essentially Earth's climate control system, transporting about 40 percent of the heat that moves from the equator to the poles. Without this oceanic heat transport, the tropics would be unbearably hot and the polar regions would be even more frozen than they already are.
