O, A, & C

Water in the ocean is always

• Moving

• Warming Up

• Still

• Cooling Down

Currents are affected by winds and

• Sessions

• Water

• shape of continents

• Wind

Water flowing in a continuous path through the ocean is called

• the Coriolis Effect

• An ocean current

• an ocean highway

• an ocean river

The warm, strong current off the coast of Florida is the

• Brazil Current

• North Equatorial Current

• Gulf Stream

• East Australian Current

Delta and Alpha are the same distance from the equator, and they are both near the ocean. Using the information in the map, how does the air temperature of Delta compare to the air temperature of Alpha? Delta is.....

• the same as Alpha. 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.

• warmer than Alpha. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Delta and energy is transferred from the air to the ocean at Alpha.

• warmer than Alpha. Moving air with a lot of energy turns and follows the coast toward Delta; moving air with only a little energy turns and follows the coast toward Alpha.

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!!

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

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

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

• False, it depends on ocean currents and winds and how much is not transferred energy

Heat transfer is really neat! It always goes from

• Bottom to top

• Hot to Cold

• Top to Bottom

• Cold to Hot

Warm water is _____ dense and _____ than cold water

• more; heavier

• more; lighter

• less; heavier

• less; lighter

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

• oxygen

• climate air temperature

• sunlight

• longitude
