  • 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 air to the ocean
    warmer b/c energy is transferred from the ocean to the air
    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
  • How does our sun heat up the air on Earth?
    heat energy is transferred from the sun to the air then to Earth's surface
    heat energy is transferred from the sun to the Earth's surface to the air
    heat energy is transferred from the sun to Earth's surface
    heat energy is transferred from the sun to the air
  • When you get ____ energy from the sun, the air temperature will be lower.

  • How does the air temperature of Oakland compare to the air temperature of Milton? The air at Oakland is.....
    the same b/c they are both near the equator
    colder b/c energy is transferred from the air to the ocean
    the same b/c they are both near oceans
    colder b/c energy is transferred from the ocean to the air
  • Both locations are the same distance from the equator. The air at Luderitz will be...
    colder because only a little energy is transferred from ocean to air
    the same as the other place because they are both near an ocean
    colder because energy is transferring from the air to the ocean
    the same because the same amount of energy is transferred to the air
  • When you get ____ energy from the sun, the air temperature will be higher.

  • Which place has colder air temperatures and why?
    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
    L b/c less energy is transferred from the sun to the surface then the air
  • 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
    Haiti because more direct sunlight heats the surface and then the air
    China because more direct sunlight heats the surface and then the air
    China because more direct sunlight heats the air
  • What is the source of the energy we receive on Earth?
    the core of the Earth
    the sun
  • What does the word "climate" mean?
    the weather that occurred somewhere in the past
    the temperature and weather on a specific day
    the weather and temperature in one month
    the temperature and weather over a long period of time
