How does the air temperature of Oakland compare to the air temperature of Milton? Why? The air at Oakland is

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

• the same as Milton. 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 Milton. At Oakland, only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Milton, a lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.

• colder than Milton. At Oakland, energy is transferred from the air to the ocean. At Milton, energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.

The layers of gases that surround Earth are called?

• atmosphere

• humidity

• oxygen

• nitrogen

An imaginary line that divides earth into northern and southern hemispheres is called the _________ .

• prime meridian

• longitude

• latitude

• equator

Palmas is closer to the equator than Neuquén. Which location has a warmer air temperature and why?

• Neuquén, because more energy is transferred from the sun directly to the air.

• Neuquén, because more energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.

• Palmas, because more energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.

• Palmas, because more energy is transferred from the sun directly to the air.

Quetta is closer to the equator than Perm. Which location has a colder air temperature and why?

• Quetta, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the air.

• Quetta, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.

• Perm, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the air.

• Perm, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.
