  • Haiti is closer to the equator than China. Which location has a warmer air temperature and why?
    Haiti because more direct sunlight heats the air
    China because more direct sunlight heats the air
    Haiti because more direct sunlight heats the surface and then the air
    China because more direct sunlight heats the surface and then the air

  • Both locations are the same distance from the equator. The air at Luderitz will be...
    colder because energy is transferring from the air to the ocean
    the same because the same amount of energy is transferred to the air
    the same as the other place because they are both near an ocean
    colder because only a little energy is transferred from ocean to air
