Heat and water. By The Dividers.
The three main topics that we are talking about on our website are heat flow in the water cycle, weather and the water cycle, and heat and ocean currents.
This video, Finding Nemo is the part where Nemo sees a ocean current. So, that's why we pick this video, because one of our main topics that we are talking about on our website is Heat and ocean currents.
Heat flow in the water cycle:
The energy of the sun is connected to three important natural systems the affect the Earth. The natural systems are the water cycle, weather patterns, and ocean currents.
The water cycle has three main topics as well, condensation, evaporation and precipitation. Condensation is a physical change of matter, its when a gas changes into a liquid.
Evaporation is a type of vaporization, of a liquid that occurs from the surface of a liquid into a gaseous phase, and that is not saturated with the evaporating substance. Evaporation is basically when a liquid changes into a gas.
Finally we have precipitation, which is the fall of water, ice, or snow deposited on the surface of the Earth , from the atmosphere. All three main points is what creates the water cycle.
How does the water cycle work ?
First, the water from the ocean evaporates to the air. Then condensation causes the water to go into the clouds, which is changing from a liquid to a gas. Finally, precipitation makes the water from the clouds come out, which makes rain. Then, the water cycle starts again.
How does the water cycle affect us?
The water cycle affects us in many ways. As we know, water is a shared resource and that we need it for a lot of stuff that we do. For example, farmers need water for crops and animals, so that then can stay alive.
Also, humans like us need a lot of water to survive. We use water for many things like drinking, washing, cleaning, cooking, electricity and growing our food as well as many, many other things. It also affects us because when there's precipitation we get rain and we also need rain for many things, one can be growing plants.

Weather and the water cycle:
Since earth is roughly a sphere the Suns radiant energy does not fall evenly on land and seas. Land will most likely always be warmer because even though the earth is moving in space, the Sun shines more directly on land especially near the equator. Since Ontario and the rest of Canada are north of the equator, the Suns rays fall less directly than when it is at the equator. During winter, in Canada, it get's less sunlight. This is what causes Canada to get cold and snowy.
What causes warm and cool air ?
In the earth, heat rises and cool air comes down. Since the northern part is above the equator, the heat from the equator rises up to the top of the north. This is when the north will then cool the hot air and it will drop back down to the equator. This will repeat for the southern part of the earth. The equator will heat up the cool air that comes from the north and then it will rise to the south. The south will then cool down the air and go back down to the equator. The movement of air in the troposphere is called wind.
Land and water
Land is always warmer than water. The air above the land near large lakes and oceans, heats up and rises. The cold air from the oceans and lakes rises into the warm air creating an ocean breeze. At night when the land cools down, the water is warmer and the heat from the water rises.
During this, air is carrying water vapour and water droplets that circulate from earth into the atmosphere and back again in giant convection currents.
The weather in the ocean current has a big impact on lots of different things.

Heat and ocean currents:
What an ocean current is ?
An ocean current is a pattern of movement of the water that's in a large region of the ocean.
Ocean currents contribute to the movement of thermal energy from the warm regions near the equator to the colder regions in the Arctic and Antarctic. These convection currents effect the temperature on the Earth's surface.
An ocean current is almost like a river that could be cold or warm moving in a less or more circular pattern. These patterns influence the climate. Also, ocean currents affect the land areas that form Canada's western, eastern, and northern coasts, even the routes taken by ships carrying products and people.
The ocean currents that flow in convection patterns depend on many things, like wind, the minerals dissolved in the water, heat from the sun, the shape of the ocean floor in different locations, the pull of the moon's gravity, and even Earth's rotation.
How ocean currents affect the climate ?
As a example, in the Northern Hemisphere, Atlantic ocean, the Sun is at its strongest, and heats the surface waters. These surface waters become very warm, and due to Earth's rotation and wind currents, will begin to move west, carrying that heat with them.
So by the time the current makes it to the Caribbean, it has began to turn north, very slowly dissipating it's heat, making the West Indies popular honeymoon destinations. Then, it continues to turn right and becomes the Gulf Stream, which makes the Eastern Seaboard as it passes, continuing to cool. Finally, it turns right again, and passes near the Arctic Ocean, Greenland, and Iceland becoming rather cold, but still warm.
This shows that it affects the climate because when the ocean is next to land, it changes how warm or cool the land is. For example, the Caribbean is warm because the ocean current that's beside the Caribbean is also warm. Also, like the Arctic Ocean, Greenland, and Iceland, its cold
there and that's why the ocean current is also cold because its beside the Arctic Ocean, Greenland and Iceland. This is why ocean currents affect the climate.
