Biomes are affected by ocean currents and winds.

Ocean currents and winds can play a crucial role in determining the climate and vegetation in a particular biome. For example, the California Current along the west coast of the United States brings cool, nutrient-rich water that supports the kelp forests and abundant marine life in the region. Similarly, the prevailing winds in the Sahara Desert create dry, arid conditions that are not conducive to the growth of many plant species. Changes in ocean currents and wind patterns can therefore have significant impacts on the ecosystems and biomes that they influence.
