2018 D Part A The wind has had some of its most dramatic effects on human history when it interacts with the energy of the oceans. It’s an interaction that can have major long term consequences. But it can also bring short term disaster. The sea acts as a main store of the sun’s heat. There’s more energy in the top 3 meters of the ocean than the whole of the atmosphere. By pumping this energy into the air, the ocean is constantly influencing the wind. A principle that is demonstrated each year: the hotter the ocean, the faster the air above rises.
