If the air temperature is 25 and the ocean temperature is 29 -

energy will transfer from the air to the ocean

How do ocean currents affect regional climate all over the world?

Depending on their temperature, they cool or warm the coasts they pass.

All the energy they hold is transferred to the air

Colder, saltier, more dense water in the deep ocean --

moves southward, mixes with warmer surface water, and circulates around the Earth

moves northward, mixes with colder surface water, and circulates around the Earth

remains in the deep ocean, never moving

Locations are warmer or colder because of -

unequal heating of the spherical Earth

Energy is transferred -

from the Sun directly to the surface, then some of that energy is transferred to the air

from the Sun directly to the air, then some of that energy is transferred to the surface

from the air to the Sun, then back to the surface

Choose any below that could have an effect on climate.

A change in global wind patterns

What determines the DIRECTION an ocean current flow in? Choose all that apply.

Whether it comes from the poles or the equator

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 at Alesund is...

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.

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.

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.

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.

If two places are the same distance from the equator then they will always have the same air temperature!!

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

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

Madison and Oxford 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 Madison compare to the air temperature of Oxford? Why? The air at Madison is...

warmer than Oxford. At Madison, energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Oxford, energy is transferred from the air to the ocean.

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

the same as Oxford. 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.

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

Monterey and Virginia Beach 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 Monterey compare to the air temperature of Virginia Beach? Why? The air at Monterey is...

colder than Virginia Beach. At Monterey, energy is transferred from the air to the ocean. At Virginia Beach, energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.

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

the same as Virginia Beach. 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.

colder than Virginia Beach. At Monterey, only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Virginia Beach, a lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.

Sar and Dagon 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 Sar compare to the air temperature of Dagon? Why? The air at Sar is

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

colder than Dagon. Moving air with only a little energy turns and follows the coast toward Sar. Moving air with a lot of energy turns and follows the coast toward Dagon.

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

the same as Dagon. 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.

Demi is studying the amount of snowfall at the South Pole. She wants to describe it using cause and effect. How could she do that?

She can describe more than one cause. There can be more than one cause for the effect—amount of snowfall.

She can't. It is impossible to determine which factors cause a particular amount of snow to fall and which factors are the effect

She can't. Some things, like the amount of snowfall, do not have a cause; they just happen.

She can describe the one cause for amount of snowfall—each effect has one cause.
