Currents can carry that deep ocean heat hundreds of miles to surface again at distant shores.
Climate change is making oceans more acidic globally. Now, scientists are finding that large storms can send pulses of acidic water into bays and estuaries, further stressing fish and shellfish.
Research shows storms that might have caused minimal damage a few decades ago are becoming stronger and more destructive as the planet warms.
It's only happened twice since naming started in 1950, and there's an unusual twist to where many of the storms are forming this year.
Cyclone Amphan was one of the worst cyclones to hit Bangladesh in modern times. But thanks to local action, many lives were saved.
