why is the indian ocean the warmest ocean in the world?
human induced greenhouse warming
the indian ocean is the warmest ocean in the world. long-term ocean temperature records show a rapid, continuous warming in the indian ocean, at about (compared to for the warm pool region) during 1901–2012. research indicates that human induced greenhouse warming, and changes in the frequency and magnitude of el niño (or the indian ocean dipole), events are a trigger to this strong warming in the indian ocean.









































south of the equator (20-5°s) the indian ocean is gaining heat from june to october, during the austral winter, while it is losing heat from november to march, during the austral summer.

the strait's shallow depths lend to warm water temperatures in summer months, with some areas reaching 25°c, or 77°f. consequently, the strait is reportedly home to the warmest ocean water temperatures in canada, and some of the warmest ocean water temperatures on the atlantic coast north of virginia.









































there are many sandy beaches along both the northern and southern coasts of the strait. these beaches, found in new brunswick, prince edward island, and nova scotia, are very popular with tourists.









































during the winter months between december and april, sea ice covers the entire strait and gulf of st. lawrence.
