I apologize for the repetition in the responses. Let me correct that.
The correct answer is: ocean currents redistributing heat.
The correct answer is: ocean currents redistributing heat.
is this correct and explain as a 6th grader
Yes, the correct answer is: ocean currents redistributing heat.
Convection is a heat transfer process that occurs through the movement of fluids (such as liquids or gases). In the case of ocean currents, the water in the ocean is like a fluid that can transfer heat. When the water near the surface of the ocean gets heated by the sun, it becomes less dense and rises. As it rises, cooler water from deeper in the ocean takes its place, creating a current that moves the heat from one area to another. This process of warm water rising and cool water sinking is called convection, and it helps to redistribute heat across the ocean.
