Multiple Choice

What is Climate?

• how hot or cold something is

• when it rains and it is sunny outside

• long-term weather patterns in an area

• How many biotic things are in an ecosystem

Multiple Choice

What is Temperature?

• When it snows

• The movement of ocean waves

• the long-term weather patterns in an area.

• Temperature how hot or cold something is

Multiple Choice

What is latitude?

• distance from the North Pole

• distance from the equator

• Distance from the South Pole

Multiple Choice

Which statement is true about how Latitude affects temperature?

• Areas near the equator have colder temperatures

• Latitude has not affect on temperature

• Areas near the equator have warmer temperature

• The further your go from the equator, the warmer the temperature gets

Multiple Choice

Which zone receives the most direct sunlight year round

• Tropical Zone

• Temperate Zone

• Polar Zone

Multiple Choice

What is altitude?

• the height of an object or point in relation to sea level or ground level

• the height of an object or point in relation to the sky

• long-term weather patterns in an area.

• how hot or cold something is

Multiple Choice

How does altitude affect temperature?

• Temperature normally stays the same as elevation or height increases, making locations at higher elevations colder

• Temperature normally increases as elevation or height increases, making locations at higher elevations warmer

• Temperature normally decreases as elevation or height increases, making locations at higher elevations colder

• Temperature normally stays the same as elevation or height increases, making locations at higher elevations warmer

Multiple Choice

How does Distance from Large Bodies of Water affect temperature?

• more water = more land = more weather

• Winds off the ocean often cause extremes temperatures in coastal regions.

• Winds off the ocean often prevent extremes temperatures in coastal regions.

• They don't

Multiple Choice

How do Ocean Currents affect temperature?

• The temperature from the currents affects the air above it

• The temperature from the currents doesn't affects the air above it

• I honestly do not know

Let's Apply Our Learning

Multiple Choice

A city near a warm ocean current will have a __________ climate.

• warmer

• colder

• moderate

• temperate

Multiple Choice

Which of the following does NOT have an affect on a region's climate?

• Large bodies of water
• Latitude
• Mountains
• Longitude

Multiple Choice

A group of students is comparing the average temperatures of three cities: City A, located near the equator; City B, located in a temperate zone; and City C, located near the Arctic Circle. Based on the effect of latitude on temperature, which statement best explains the temperature differences among these cities?

• City A is cooler than City B because equatorial regions receive less direct sunlight.

• City B is warmer than City A because that regions receive more direct sunlight year-round.

• City C is the coldest because higher latitudes receive less direct sunlight and experience longer winters.

• All three cities have similar temperatures because latitude has little effect on temperature.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is the most correct?

• On a sunny day, the air over a lake will be cooler than the air over the bordering land.

• On a sunny day, the air over a piece of land will be cooler than the air over a bordering lake.
