Because hydrogen bonds form between the molecules of water in the ocean, the ocean's temperature is harder to warm up and cool down then the land, which easily absorbs the sun â¦ 's rays and quickly gives up heat.he radiant energy from the water, and the heat and cold it absorbs, helps keep the temperature of th â¦ e earth from reaching too far into any extreme. The trade winds/currents also play a vital role in keeping the air moving to help balance the system.
Ocean surface currents redistribute heat around the world and have a profound effect on the worldâs climate. Nowhere is this clearer than in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Current ferry huge volumes of warm salty tropical water north to the Greenland coast and to the Nordic Seas.
