Point A is closer to the equator than point B. Which location has colder air temperature and why?
Point A is colder because it is farther to the equator. There is less thermal energy farther to the equator; therefore, the air temperature will be colder.
Point B is colder because it is farther to the equator. There is less thermal energy farther to the equator; therefore, the air temperature will be colder.

Point A is closer to the equator than point B. Which location has warmer air temperature and why?
Point A is warmer because it is closer to the equator. There is more thermal energy closer to the equator; therefore, the air temperature will be warmer.
Point B is warmer because it is closer to the equator. There is more thermal energy closer to the equator; therefore, the air temperature will be warmer.

Point A and B are the same distance from the equator and they are both near the ocean. Use the map to determine which location has a warmer temperature.
Point A is warmer because the ocean current is coming from the equator. The ocean currents that come from the equator are warm because there is more thermal energy.
Point B is warmer because the ocean current is coming from the equator. The ocean currents that come from the equator are warm because there is more thermal energy.

Point A and B are the same distance from the equator and they are both near the ocean. Use the map to determine which location has a colder temperature.
Point A is colder because the ocean current is coming from the north pole. The ocean currents that come from the north pole are colder because there is less thermal energy.
Point B is colder because the ocean current is coming from the north pole. The ocean currents that come from the north pole are colder because there is less thermal energy.

Analyze the map.
Why is it warmer in Charleston than it is in San Diego even though they are the same distance from the Equator?
San Diego has an ocean current that is coming from equator which as more thermal energy.
Charleston has an ocean current that is coming from the north pole that has less thermal energy.
Charleston has an ocean current that is coming from equator which as more thermal energy.
San Diego has an ocean current that is coming from the north pole that has less thermal energy.
