What is causing the world’s oceans to get warmer?

the oceans today are trapping more of the sun’s heat than ever before in history.

ocean water dissolves carbon dioxide in the air and becomes warmer in the process.

an increase in the number of marine organisms is causing the temperature of the water to increase.

atmospheric greenhouse gasses are trapping heat and raising the temperature of the land, the air, and the oceans.

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.
