3) The ocean is a major influence on weather and climate As the Earth gets warmer, both the ocean and the land get warmer too. Warm water evaporates faster. Extra water vapor makes clouds heavier and can lead to more rain or snow in some places, sometimes leading to flooding. Some areas may get less rain if weather patterns change and clouds move elsewhere. Climate and the Ocean Science Story Flow diagram by National Marine Educators Association
