• Land absorbs more sunlight than water.

• Land requires less energy to change temperature than water.

• Water heats up faster because it is transparent.

• Water loses heat more quickly than land.

Multiple Choice

• conduction

• convection

Multiple Select

Select TWO statements that are true about sea breezes.

• Sea breezes occur during the day when land is warmer than water.

• Warm air rises over the sea and cool air from the land takes its place.

• Cool air from the sea moves toward the land.

• Sea breezes occur at night when the land is cooler than the water.

Multiple Choice

Why do land breezes occur at night?

• Land cools off slower than water, so the air above water is cooler.
• Water cools off faster than land, so the air above land is warmer.
• Land heats up slower than water, so the air stays cooler during the day.
• Water cools off slower than land, so the air above water is warmer.

Multiple Choice

Sarah lives beside the ocean in Eureka, California. Her penpal, Ruby, lives in Redding, California, which is located inland.

As a school project one year, Sarah and Ruby decide to collect local climate data and compare the average monthly high and low temperatures from their cities. The data they collect are shown below.

Based on the climate data that Sarah and Ruby collect, they can conclude that:

• locations by the ocean typically do not get as cold in the winter or as hot in the summer as locations that are located inland.

• locations by the ocean typically get much colder in the winter and much hotter in the summer than locations that are located inland.

• locations by the ocean typically get much less precipitation during the winter than locations that are located inland.

• locations by the ocean typically get much less precipitation during the summer than locations that are located inland.

Multiple Choice

Why does land near a large body of water tend to have a more moderate climate compared to areas farther inland?

• Because water heats and cools more slowly than land, moderating the temperature.

• Because land absorbs more sunlight than water, making the climate milder.

• Because water reflects sunlight, causing cooler summers and warmer winters.

• Because land near water is at a lower altitude, resulting in milder temperatures.

Multiple Choice

Places near the ___ are generally warmer than places near the poles.

• equator
• mountains
