A warm current passes by an area causing the temperature to rise.

• The air transfers energy to the current

• The current stops

• The current creates energy and gives it to the air

• The current transfers energy to the air

Why is it possible for to locations that are the same distance from the equator to have different temperatures?

• Magic

• Currents passing by those locations have different temperatures

• The equator is moving making the temperatures rise and fall

• It is not possible the temperatures are always the same

In a cause and effect relationship...

• There is only one cause and one effect

• There can be several causes for each effect

• There is never a cause that impacts the effect

• The cause is never the reason something occurs

Prevailing winds push currents in the same direction as the wind until..

• they change direction

• they sink to the bottom of the ocean

• they contact a continent and follow the coast

• lose all of their cold energy

The source for the majority of the energy that causes temperature is the

• moon

• sun

• ocean currents

• polar ice caps

Why do locations closer to the equator have warmer air temperatures?

• more energy is transferred directly to the air from the sun

• less energy is transferred from the sun to the surface to the air

• the sun is brighter there

• more energy is transferred from the sun to the surface and then to the air

When a cold current passes by a coastal area

• energy is transferred from the cold current to the air

• energy is transferred from the air to the current

• cold air is created by the current

• the current follows the coast creating cold temperatures
