Ocean current is:

• water flowing in a continous path

• water in the form of precipitation

• water moving through the water cycle

In our notes we learned that outside of energy transferred from the sun, energy is also transferred from:

• air to land

• sun to land

• ocean to the air

How does energy from the sun affect air temperature?

• Energy from the ocean is transferred to the sun and then transferred to the land and back up to the air

• Energy from the land is transferred to the sun and then transferred to the air

• Energy from the sun is transferred to Earth's surface and energy is transferred to the air above the surface
