O, A, C Ch.1-2

Water flowing in a continuous path through the ocean is called

• the Coriolis Effect

• an ocean highway

• an ocean current

• an ocean river

Ocean currents bring warm water from the equator towards Earth's

• continents

• poles

• southern hemisphere

• equator

If two places are the same distance from the equator then they will always have the same air temperature.

• True the location on the equator determines temperature of the air

• False, it depends on ocean currents and winds and how much energy is transferred

• Maybe? I don't know? I didn't pay close attention in class. Sorry ;-(

Heat transfer always goes from

• hot to cold

• cold to hot

• top to bottom

• bottom to top

Currents release thermal energy, which can affect a location's

• oxygen

• air temperature (climate)

• sunlight

• longitude

Ocean currents transport ______________ and matter around the world.

• air

• sunlight

• thermal energy

• fresh water

When the air temperature over the land is warmer than the nearby ocean temperature, energy is transferred from the _____ to the _____.

• water; air

• water; sun

• air; sun

• air; water

Which location receives the most direct sunlight all year?

• The North Pole

• The equator

• Temperate Zones

• The South Pole

How does the sun increase air temperature?

• Energy travels from the sun to a surface, and then from the surface to the air.

• Energy travels from the sun to the air.

• Energy travels from the sun to the air, then to a surface.

• The sun cannot increase air temperature.

Which location is near a warm current?
