Cold ocean currents transport heat from the equator to the poles. Ocean currents change the temperature of air masses. Warm ocean currents transport heat from the equator to the poles.

Answer 1

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

Warm ocean currents, such as the Gulf Stream, carry warm water away from the equator and help moderate the climate of coastal regions, making them warmer than areas at similar latitudes that are farther from the ocean. Conversely, cold currents can lower temperatures in coastal areas.
