1 answer

The correct explanation is: Ocean currents change the temperature of air masses. Warm ocean currents transport heat from the equator to the poles.

Warm ocean currents, such as the Gulf Stream, carry warm water from the equator towards the poles, which in turn warms the air above them, influencing the climate of nearby land areas.
