Convection in the Atmosphere and Oceans

When warm and cool water mix, winds will...

• Stay the same
• Get slower
• Intensify and cause storms
• Change directions

Land breezes blow from the land towards the sea because-

• Conduction of the ocean
• The land cools off faster than the ocean
• Ocean currents blow the wind that way
• Breezes are created by the rotation of the earth

Models that show heat rising up and cold moving down are models of:

• Conduction
• Complexion
• Radiation
• Convection

The heat source for covection in the atmosphere is the:

• Core
• Water
• Land
• Sun

The heat source for convection in the ocean is-

• The sun
• The moon
• The core
• Volcanoes

Convection in the Ocean is caused by volcanoes

• True
• False

Convection in the atmosphere is caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis

• True
• False

Convection in the oceans and in the atmosphere is caused by the sun

• True
• False

Thunderstorms are more common in areas where:

• Cold water is near
• There are lakes
• Warm water is near

Hurricanes form over oceans

• True
• False
