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