Which process descrbes the warm ocean that transfers heat to the air above it?
1 answer
The process that describes the warm ocean transferring heat to the air above it is known as oceanic heat transfer or latent heat release. This occurs when warm ocean waters evaporate, releasing thermal energy into the atmosphere in the form of latent heat. As the warm, moist air rises, it cools and condenses, forming clouds and ultimately leading to the release of heat energy back into the atmosphere. This transfer of heat helps to regulate climate patterns and influence weather systems.
