How does the air temperature of Clare Island compare to the air temperature of Cartwright? Why? The air at Clare Island is...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Florida is closer to the equator than New Jersey. Which location has a warmer air temperature and why?
