These two cities are near the same current and have similar elevations. Which one will have colder average temperatures?

They will be the same average temperatures.

These two cities are near the ocean and have similar elevations and latitudes. Which one will have colder average temperatures?

They will be the same average temperatures.

Changes in prevailing winds leads to a change in....(Choose all that apply)

The amount of energy brought to a location

the average air temperature of a location

Fairview and Washington are the same distance from the equator, and both cities are near the ocean. The air temperature in Fairview is warmer than the air temperature in Washington. Where does Fairviews current come from?

It cannot be determined with this information.

Fairview and Washington are the same distance from the equator, and both cities are near the ocean. The air temperature in Fairview is warmer than the air temperature in Washington. Where does Washington's current come from?

It cannot be determined with this information.

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.....

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.

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. 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.

How do ocean currents influence the climate of coastal regions?

They can either increase or decrease the temperature depending on the current's origin.

They increase the temperature of coastal regions.

They decrease the temperature of coastal regions.

They have no effect on the temperature of coastal regions.

Which of the following best describes the role of the atmosphere in regulating Earth's climate?

The atmosphere traps heat from the sun, keeping the Earth warm.

The atmosphere reflects all sunlight, preventing the Earth from overheating.

The atmosphere absorbs all heat, making the Earth cooler.

The atmosphere has no role in regulating Earth's climate.

What is the primary reason for the formation of ocean currents?

The rotation of the Earth and wind patterns.

The gravitational pull of the moon.
