The currents traveling past Christchurch in a normal year will cause the temperature to be...

• Warmer, because energy will travel from the ocean to the air.

• Warmer, because energy will travel from the air to the ocean.

• Cooler, because energy will travel from the ocean to the air.

Which location receives the most direct sunlight all year?

• The North Pole

• The equator

• Temperate Zones

• The South Pole

Isumi and San Luis Obispo 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 Isumi compare to the air temperature of San Luis Obispo? Why?

The air temperature at Isumi is

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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 attention in class all unit. Sorry ;-(
