What is the main benefit of the ozone?

How do convection currents cause ocean currents?

• energy is transferred to the atmosphere making wind. The winds produce surface currents.

• energy in warm water is lost

• the water becomes more dense and sinks

Which of the following best describes the movement of heat energy in the global ocean?

• heat energy is transported to the equator from the continents

• heat energy is transported to the ocean's surface

• heat energy in warm surface currents is transported to areas near Earth's poles.

Conduction happens as energy flows from a warmer object to a cooler object. Which of the following is an example of conduction?

• electromagnetic radiation transfers energy from the sun to the Earth.

• warmer air is pushed out of the way by cooler air

• cooler air molecules come in contact with warm ground, causing energy to be passed into the air

Why is Florida's weather heavily influenced by the exchange of heat energy on land and water?

• water conducts heat more slowly than land

• there are many strong currents in Florida

• the sand draws in heat

What is a positive effect of the Greenhouse Effect?

• it traps methane gas

• it traps heat to warm the earth enough that we can live here

• it allows greenhouses to grow plants without soil

What causes air circulation in the atmosphere?

• gravity

• ocean currents

• magnetic field

• uneven heating of the Earth
