4Ocean currents

Warm ocean currents insure the temperature of surrounding area via very great effect:

e.g., North Atlantic driftinsure relative temperature in western Europe

It e.g., North Atlantic driftincrease relative temperature in western Europe

5Prevailing winds → On shore winds around currents can bring temperature to coastal lands:

e.g., Humboldt currentCold windsausterity of do coastal desert

Impact:

El-Nino & la-Nina

Planetary winds due to pressure difference caused by differential heating

Thus uneven distribution of east heat on earth surface fuels the movement of winds (planetary winds) & oceans (ocean currents) to distribute temperature & moisture.
