  • Cuba is closer to the equator than Canada. Which location has a warmer air temperature and why?
    Canada because more direct sunlight heats the air
    Cuba because more direct sunlight heats the surface and then the air
    Cuba because more direct sunlight heats the air
    Canada 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 as the other place because they are both near an ocean
    colder because only a little energy is transferred from ocean to air
    the same because the same amount of energy is transferred to the air

  • What is probably true about the air at Oribus?
    same as Delphina because they are both near water
    warmer than Delphina b/c energy is transferred from the ocean to the air
    warmer than Delphina b/c energy is transferred from the air to the ocean
    warmer than Delphina because moving air near Oribus has more energy

  • Which place has colder air temperatures and why?
    L b/c less energy is transferred from the sun to the surface then the air
    R b/c less energy is transferred from the sun to the surface then the air
    L b/c less energy is transferred from the sun to the air
    R b/c less energy is transferred from the sun to the air

  • How does the air temperature of Dayton compare to the air temperature of Newport? The air at Dayton is.....
    warmer b/c energy is transferred from the ocean to the air
    warmer b/c energy is transferred from the air to the ocean
    the same b/c they are at the same latitude and near water
    the same b/c the energy going into the air is the same at both locations

  • Ms. Maleigha is writing a cause and effect diagram for why she slipped outside. Which example below would be best?
    we will not know the cause of the slipping
    there can be more than one cause for the slipping
    there is only one cause for the effect of slipping
    things like slipping don't have a cause, they just happen

  • What is the source for most of the heat energy we find on Earth?
    fossil fuels
    the sun
    volcanoes
    coal, oil and natural gas

  • How does the air temperature of Arica compare to the air temperature of Beira? Why?The air temperature at Arica is.....
    colder b/c energy is transferred from the air to the ocean
    the same because they are both near the equator
    colder b/c energy is transferred from the ocean to the air
    the same because they are both near oceans

  • How does the air temperature of Oakland compare to the air temperature of Milton? The air at Oakland is.....
    colder b/c energy is transferred from the ocean to the air
    colder b/c energy is transferred from the air to the ocean
    the same b/c they are both near oceans
    the same b/c they are both near the equator

  • How does the Coriolis Effect impact Earth's climate?
    it affects the ocean currents that bring warm water around Earth
    it starts the creation of hurricanes
    it creates windier places around the Earth
    it makes every region on Earth have the same type of climate

  • The city on the right (S) will be ___ to the city on the left (D).
    colder, b/c winds push currents along coasts-energy goes from air to ocean
    warmer, b/c winds push currents along coasts-energy goes from ocean to air
    warmer, b/c winds push currents along coasts-energy goes from air to ocean
    colder, b/c winds push currents along coasts-energy goes from ocean to air
