Oceans affect weather and climate through processes such as evaporation, precipitation, and ocean currents. Evaporation from the ocean's surface contributes moisture to the atmosphere, which can lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation. Ocean currents transport heat around the globe, influencing regional climates and weather patterns. Additionally, the large thermal capacity of the oceans helps moderate temperatures on land, reducing the severity of extreme weather events.
