Quiz about Ocean,Climate, and Atmosphere Summative Review

Question 1

How does energy from the Sun heat up the air on Earth?

Accepted Answer

The energy is transferred from the sun to the surface then transferred to the air.

Answer

It goes directly from the sun to the air.

Question 2

Which location has a colder air temperature?

Accepted Answer

Harbin, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.

Answer

Harbin, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the air.

Answer

Chengdu, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.

Answer

Chengdu, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the air.

Question 3

True or False: A ocean current that starts at the Equator will carry warm/hot water to the locations that it passes.

Accepted Answer

True

Answer

False

Question 4

What are prevailing winds?

Accepted Answer

winds that move in one direction and are strong enough to move ocean currents.

Answer

Ocean currents that move in one direction and are around enough to affect winds.

Answer

winds that move in every direction and AREN'T strong enough to move ocean currents

Question 5

Alesund and Khatyrka are the same distance from the equator and they are both near the ocean. Use the information on the map to answer these questions: How does the air temperature of Alesund compare to the air temperature of Khatyrka? Why?
The air temperature in Alesund is___

The air temperature in Alesund is___

Accepted Answer

warmer than Khatyrka. At Alesund, energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Khatyrka, energy is transferred from the air to the ocean.

Answer

the same as Khatyrka. Even though the ocean water at each location is a different temperature, the same amount of energy is transferred to the air at both locations.

Answer

the same as Khatyrka. They are both near moving ocean water, so the same amount of energy is transferred to the air at both locations.

Answer

warmer than Khatyrka. At Alesund, a lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Khatyrka, only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.

Question 6

What direction does energy move in?

Accepted Answer

It moves from warmer objects to colder objects.

Answer

It moves from colder objects to warmer objects.

Answer

It doesn't transfer between object

Question 7

If the ocean temperature is hot and the air temperature is cold at a location which direction does energy transfer?

Accepted Answer

From the ocean to the air.

Answer

From the air to the ocean.

Answer

it doesn't transfer

Question 8

If the ocean temperature is cold and the air temperature is warm at a location which direction will energy transfer?

Accepted Answer

from air to ocean

Answer

From ocean to air

Answer

it doesn't transfer

Question 9

Florence's air temperature is 80F in the summer. What is the source of most of the energy that causes this temperature?

Accepted Answer

The sun

Answer

Volcano

Answer

Oil and coal

Answer

Tree

Question 10

At Delphina how direction is the energy transfering?

Accepted Answer

from the air to the ocean

Answer

From the ocean to the air

Answer

it doesn't transfer

Question 11

The air temperature at Arica is

Accepted Answer

colder than Beira. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Energy is transferred from the air to the ocean at Arica and energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Beira.

Answer

colder than Beira. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Arica, and a lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Beira.

Answer

colder than Beira. Moving air with only a little energy turns and follows the coast toward Arica; moving air with a lot of energy turns and follows the coast toward Beira.

Answer

the same as Beira. Both locations are the same distance from the equator. The winds push the ocean water, and it turns to follow the coast in both locations, so the same amount of energy is transferred to the air.

Question 12

What 2 factors have an affect on the ocean currents?

Accepted Answer

Prevailing winds

Accepted Answer

Continents

Answer

The moon

Question 13

What happens to the ocean currents when prevailing winds push them towards continents?

Accepted Answer

The ocean current moves along the coast of the continents.

Answer

The ocean currents stop moving.

Answer

The ocean currents push the ocean through the entire continent.

Answer

The ocean current start to move in opposite direction as the prevailing winds.

Question 14

What is the temperature of the ocean current going past Oakland

Accepted Answer

Cold, because it starts near the south pole.

Answer

Cold, because it starts near the equator

Answer

hot, because it starts near the equator.

Answer

Hot, because it starts near the equator.

Question 15

The air temperature of Isumi is ...

Accepted Answer

warmer than San Luis Obispo. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Isumi and energy is transferred from the air to the ocean at San Luis Obispo.

Answer

warmer than San Luis Obispo. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. A lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Isumi; only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at San Luis Obispo

Answer

warmer than San Luis Obispo. Moving air with a lot of energy turns and follows the coast toward Isumi; moving air with only a little energy turns and follows the coast toward San Luis Obispo.

Answer

the same as San Luis Obispo. Both locations are the same distance from the equator. The winds push the ocean water, and it turns to follow the coast past both locations, so the same amount of energy is transferred to the air.

Question 16

The air temperature of Clare Island is ...

Accepted Answer

warmer than Cartwright. At Clare Island, energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Cartwright, energy is transferred from the air to the ocean.

Answer

the same as Cartwright. Even though the ocean water at each location is a different temperature, the same amount of energy is transferred to the air at both locations

Answer

warmer than Cartwright. At Clare Island, a lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Cartwright, only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.

Answer

the same as Cartwright. They are both near moving ocean water, so the same amount of energy is transferred to the air at both locations.
