Air flowing from Alaska and the North Pacific push ocean waters, but instead of flowing directly south, they flow to the west. Why is that? •Because of ocean currents

•Because of ocean tides

•Because of the rotation of the Earth

•Because of the marine life living in the ocean

explanation:

plate tectonics and volcanic euptions

over time, plate tectonic processes cause continents to move to different positions on the globe.

for example, britain was near to the equator 300 million years ago, and therefore was hotter than it is today. for further details look at our climate through time poster or online map.

the movement of the plates also causes volcanoes and mountains to form and these too can contribute to a change in climate.

mountain ranges formed by plate tectonics. large mountain chains can influence the circulation of air around the globe, and consequently influence the climate.   warm air might be deflected somewhere cooler by the mountains.
