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.

Lüderitz and Florianopolis 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 Lüderitz compare to the air temperature of Florianopolis? Why? The air at Lüderitz is:
colder than Florianopolis. At Lüderitz, only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Florianopolis, a lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.
colder than Florianopolis. At Lüderitz, energy is transferred from the air to the ocean. At Florianopolis, energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.
the same as Florianopolis. They are both near moving ocean water, so the same amount of energy is transferred to the air at both locations.
the same as Florianopolis. 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.

Kuta and Rog 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 Kuta compare to the air temperature of Rog? Why? The air temperature of Kuta is:
colder than Rog. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Kuta, and a lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Rog.
colder than Rog. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Energy is transferred from the air to the ocean at Kuta and energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Rog.
colder than Rog. Moving air with only a little energy turns and follows the coast toward Kuta; moving air with a lot of energy turns and follows the coast toward Rog.
the same as Rog. 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.

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.

Clare Island and Cartwright 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 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.

Delphina and Oribus are the same distance from the equator, and they are both near the ocean. Using the information in the map, what is likely to be true about the air temperature of the two places? Why? The air at Oribus is:
the same as Delphina. 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.
warmer than Delphina. Moving air with a lot of energy turns and follows the coast toward Oribus; moving air with only a little energy turns and follows the coast toward Delphina.
warmer than Delphina. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Oribus and energy is transferred from the air to the ocean at Delphina.
warmer than Delphina. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. A lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Oribus, and only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Delphina.

Lviv is farther from the equator than Riyadh. Which location has a colder air temperature and why?
Riyadh, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the air.
Riyadh, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.
Lviv, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the air.
Lviv, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.
