If the air temperature is 25 and the ocean temperature is 29 -

• energy will transfer from the ocean to the air

• energy will transfer from the air to the ocean

• no energy will be transferred

Ocean currents __________ __________ throughout the ocean and atmosphere.

• cause storms

• decrease energy

• increase energy

• transfer energy

How do ocean currents affect regional climate all over the world?

• They don't

• They cause high and low tides

• Depending on their temperature, they cool or warm the coasts they pass.

• All the energy they hold is transferred to the air

Colder, saltier, more dense water in the deep ocean --

• moves southward, mixes with warmer surface water, and circulates around the Earth

• moves northward, mixes with colder surface water, and circulates around the Earth

• remains in the deep ocean, never moving
