  • Q9
    How does the ocean affect weather on Earth?
    Waves in the ocean push on the air above, which causes storms to form.
    Water in the ocean is cooler than the air above, which causes the air temperature to remain low.
    Salt in the ocean dries the air above, causing the air to heat up and rise.
    Water evaporates from the ocean, causing clouds to form and send rain back to Earth.
