In de winter houden ze warmte vast en in de zomer zorgen ze voor koelte.<\/p>\n<p>Oceaanstromingen zijn als enorme transportbanden die warmte van de evenaar naar de polen voeren. Als de Golfstroom er niet was, zouden de winters in West-Europa even koud zijn als in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>De oceanen herbergen meer leven dan ieder ander gebied op Aarde. Zelfs plankton, de kleinste vorm van leven in de oceaan, neemt enorme hoeveelheden koolzuur op.
