Surface Currents

Which would have warmer land?

• Land at A
• Land at B
• Same temperature for A and B

Why is land at A warmer than land at B?

• The surface current comes from the equator
• The surface current comes from the poles

Which would have cooler land?

• Land at D
• Land at C
• Same temperature for A and B

Why is land at D be cooler than land at C?

• The surface current comes from the equator
• The surface current comes from the poles

Which would have cooler land?

• Land at E
• Land at F
• Same temperature for A and B

Why is land at F cooler than land at E?

• The surface current comes from the equator
• The surface current comes from the poles

Surface currents are also known as

• Gyres
• Deep sea currents
• Coriolis currents
• All choices

During the summer large bodies of water like the ocean and large lakes 

• Land near them to be cooler
• Land near them to be warmer

During the winter large bodies of water like the ocean and large lakes 

• Land near them to be cooler
• Land near them to be warmer

During the summer large bodies of water like the ocean keeps land around them cooler because

• Water warms up slower
• Water warms up faster
