What might happen if the global conveyor stopped?

Marine life would get too little oxygen

Marine life would get too much oxygen

Upwelling is associated with

cooler, nutrient-rich waters being pushed up from deeper ocean waters

a decrease in access to nutrients for phytoplankton

temperature gradients moving water from the equator to the poles

an increase in human fatalities

Surface currents influence the climate on Earth because of which of the following?

Warm equatorial water is moved to the poles, as cool polar water moves toward the equator. This causes a moderation in temperature.

Cooler water sinks as hot water rises, which moderates the temperature.

Surface currents do not influence the climate, deep water currents do.

The Gulf Stream flows all around the world, warming the continents it touches

How are temperatures inland different than those places that are closer to the shore and experience cool ocean currents?

Temperatures vary more than the shore

What basic motion does water follow during the passage of a wave?

in a circular motion as energy passes

What causes vertical ocean currents?

The temperature and salinity of ocean water

The gravitational attraction of the sun

Imagine you hear the following weather report: "Florida is sweltering in summer-like heat and humidity. Ahead is a cold front that promises to bring down polar air from Canada and cool down the state next week." What is a front?

a boundary between two air masses with different densities and usually different temperatures

a region where there are severe thunderstorms

an area where a tropical storm is likely to form

a boundary between two air masses with the same temperature

Lightning can be very dangerous. It can even cause death if it strikes a person or animal. What is lightning?

a sudden discharge of static electricity

a mixture of warm air and cold air

What is the major cause of global winds (convection cells) on Earth?

the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun

cool water causing movement of hot air

You can predict the weather at a high or low pressure system. Which of the following is true about high and low air pressure?

High air pressure brings clear skies and cooler air, while low pressure brings precipitation or cloudines and warmer air.

High air pressure brings precipitation or cloudiness and warmer air, while low pressure brings clear skies and cooler air.

High pressure brings precipitation or cloudiness and cooler air, while low pressure brings clear skies and warmer air.

High air pressure brings clear skies and warmer air, while low pressure brings precipitation or cloudiness and cooler air.

Land and sea breezes are common in Florida because it is a peninsula. How do they form?

Sea breezes form during the day because the hotter land heats up the air above it, causing it to rise, pulling air from above the cooler ocean water.

Land breezes form during the day because the hotter land heats up the air above it, causing it to rise, pulling air from above the cooler ocean water.

Land breezes form during the night because the hotter land heats up the air above it, causing it to rise, pulling air from above the cooler ocean water.

Sea breezes form during the night because the hotter land heats up the air above it, causing it to rise, pulling air from above the cooler ocean water.

Hot air rises because it ....

has less gravitational pull than other cooler gases.

The global movement of air occurs in convection cells. In general, how does air move?

From areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure

From areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature.

From areas of lower temperature to areas of higher temperature.

From areas of lower pressure to areas of higher pressure.

The area in which you live has a particular climate. It also has weather. What is weather?

Weather is the condition of Earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place.

Weather is the characteristic climate in an area over a long period of time.

Weather is determined by temperature and precipitation.

Weather is determined only by humidity, air pressure, and wind conditions.
