Ocean and Climate

The video explores the role of oceans in regulating climate, temperature, and the global water cycle. It explains how oceans act as energy storage, affecting coastal and inland climates differently. The concept of ocean currents and their impact on global climate is discussed, with examples like the Gulf Stream. An interactive game reinforces learning by engaging students in identifying ocean-related terms.
