Do not fret jeffhardy, we cannot destroy earth or nature, we are nature too and to think otherwise is deeply narcissistic. Everything is nature. Our pollution is nature and it might end up killing us and a lot of other living organisms and that is nature. Our harmful activity is not much different from a supervolcano errupting or a meteorite hitting. Earth will probably continue until the sun supernovas. Nature will persist in space. Life goes on, try have a good one.

I used to watch a show as a kid about an Icebear that together with all sorts of animal friends lived on a free floating island that could move by letting out magma from the giant volcano in the middle of the island. Now I think about it, "free-floating island" and "volcano" make absolutely no sense. Anyway, that's how I feel about Earth and humanity. All of us chilling on our rocky free floating island together with all of our animal friends.

[@isabarchi4305]

The ocean: a driving force for weather and climate Earth is the water planet. Although forty percent of earth’s population lives within or near coastal regions, the ocean impacts people everywhere. Most of Earth’s water is stored in the ocean- a driving force for weather and climate The Earth’s surface is warm unevenly by the sun. Heat a form of energy, helps drive ocean and atmospheric circulation. The oceans absorbs and stores more heat than the atmosphere. Both the atmosphere and ocean move the heat; the atmosphere does it quickly and the ocean slowly. At the ocean’s surface, wind drive currents. Multiple forces keep the global ocean conveyor belt or Thermohaline Circulation in perpetual motion. Below the surface, deeper currents are driven by differences in density. Mixing and upwelling in the ocean, transport nutrient rich water to the ocean’s surface. Nutrients sustain biological productivity in the ocean. Extreme variations in sea surface height and sea surface temperature affect ocean and atmospheric circulation. El Niño and la Nina occur when changing wind patterns display warm and cool water in the equatorial in the pacific. Both have global impacts. During either of these events the replacement of cold water by warm water leads to air temperature swings and changes humidity. This alters patterns by steering storms and rainfall to new locations. Shifts and rainfall affects plant growth and areas impacted by drought. When heat is exchange between the ocean’s surfaces to the atmosphere, it influences climate. For example, heat and moisture carried by the Gulf Stream northward bring warmer temperatures and a moderate climate to Europe. An eddy is a circular moving body water that spin-off a main current. Eddies play a major role transporting heat and nutrients. Thunderstorm are frequent occurrence in the tropics. Some of these may become organized into large rotating systems with strong winds, organized into large rotating systems with strong winds growing into tropical storms or hurricanes. Tropical ocean basins like the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico retain substantial heat making these regions favorable for rapid storm intensification. By extracting large amount of heat from the Ocean, storms can become massive and destructive hurricanes. A driving force for weather and climate the ocean is essential to live on Earth, the primary storehouse of earth’s water Without the ocean our planets will be inhabitable. NASA satellites and their unique view to space are helping to unveil the vast and largely unexplored ocean

SAAAME 🙄🙄

NASA Goddard. I only have a precision on a term used in the video (from time 0:46 and on): Heat is not a form of energy, heat is a form of transference of energy. Things do not have or store heat.

[@curtisking5138]

That is the beauty of the ocean. It collects the energy from the sun in the form of heat during the day and stores it as latent heat. At night the ocean releases the latent heat when it cools.

@@curtisking5138, you cannot store heat! That is my point! The idea of storing heat is outrageously wrong. You store energy. You cannot say if the energy content came from radiative processes, phase changes or something similar. The conceptual analogue will be the water in a lake. Some of the water of the lake came from rivers that end in the lake, some amount was drained by rivers that begin in the lake, another amount came from precipitation, and there is another amount that left the lake because of evaporation. There is no information, once in the lake, how a molecule of water ended there. That is, lakes contain water, but do not contain precipitation, evaporation, inflow or outflow. Equivalently, ocean stores energy. It does not contain sensible, latent heat, and radiation. These are like the precipitation or evaporation in the lake analogue. Yes, I am picky. Otherwise, there can be conceptual misunderstandings. And this misunderstanding of heat content comes from the outdated caloric theory.

[@curtisking5138]

@ : During the day the ocean absorbs energy from the sun which causes a rise in temperature. During the night the ocean releases the energy which causes a drop in temperature. Sun-agitation of water molecules-rise in temperature= heat absorbed Water molecules subsides-drop in teperature=heat released Heat absorbed and released over time= heat stored No lake no river no drain no precipitation Just the sun and the ocean. A dynamo or a dry cell battery can be attached to a bulb to produce light. Does the battery store electrical energy? Is electricity just a means of transference of chemical energy (battery) or of kinetic energy(dynamo) into light energy?

@@curtisking5138 define heat, please.

[@curtisking5138]

@ :I can do better. Light a match with one hand and place the other hand over it. What you feel is not radiative processes or phase change or transference of energy, Who feels it knows it! The terminology of Energetics or of Thermodynamics are not required when explaining weather,climate or cooking.
