Why do different locations on Earth have different air temperatures?
Due to seasonal weather changes.
Due to different distances from the equator.
Because of varying altitudes.
Because of varying amounts of water bodies
What happens to the amount of energy from the sun as you move away from the equator?
It increases.
It stays the same.
It decreases.
It varies randomly.
What is latitude?
The measure of altitude above sea level.
A measure of time zones.
The distance north or south of the equator.
The distance from the prime meridian.
Which of the following is true about energy transfer at the equator?
It is low because of reflective surfaces.
It is the least because of cloud coverage.
It is high because sunlight hits directly.
It is moderate due to air circulation.
What does the Global Air Temperature map show?
Air temperatures follow latitudinal patterns.
The relationship between air pressure and temperature.
Mountainous regions are warmer.
The effects of ocean currents on temperature.
Which of these regions receives the least energy from the sun?
Locations near the equator.
Areas at 45° latitude.
Locations near the poles.
Tropical regions.
Why do mountains have colder air temperatures despite being at similar latitudes to warmer areas?
They are covered by snow year-round.
The sunlight is weaker at higher altitudes.
They are closer to the sun.
The air temperature decreases with altitude.
How is air temperature related to energy?
Temperature increases when energy increases.
Temperature only increases due to wind patterns.
Temperature and energy are unrelated.
Temperature increases when energy decreases.
