Re: Science
Hi!
Well, the definition of atmospheric circulation is the transfer of energy which generates weather patterns, ocean currents, and spreads pollutions. Some of the transferred energy is concentrated in the tropics areas and redistributed from here to the poles. Some of the regions you listed (near the equator and at the poles) cause pressure differences, which will then cause air to flow. Low atmospheric pressure is present in warmer areas, higher in colder. So, the areas you listed that are in the poles are getting more energy, increasing pressure, and becoming colder as a result of atmospheric circulation. Whereas the areas in the tropics are losing their energy, lowering their pressure, and warming. For example, in the region of Peru, an equatorial area, there are warm and wet conditions because of the warm air rising and low pressure generating.
as for oceanic circulation, I am unfamiliar. but I have found these helpful links which should give you some direction!

Re: Science
Explain how Miami Florida,Seattle Washington,Cape Town South Africa,lima Peru and Perth Western Australia are affected by Atmospheric and oceanic circulation?
Hello there!
Cool question! Wondering if you'd mind sharing your project with us? That way I am able to answer your question with a fuller point of view. Thanks!
In regards to your question, I suggest breaking it down and exploring everything piece by piece.
Here is an article about Oceanic Circulation from a reputable source that could benefit your research:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/ea ... irculation
and an article on Atmospheric Circulation that is clear and to the point:
https://www.britannica.com/science/atmo ... irculation
If you need any help reading or de-coding what these sources have to say, please don't hesitate to reach out and we'd be happy to assist.
I look forward to hearing more about your project, it sounds like it could be super cool!!!
Best wishes,
