a)

The climate in Ecuador is controlled by the desire of its citizens.

b)

The climate in Ecuador is affected by the age of its population.

c)

The climate in Ecuador is both moderated by the ocean currents and affected by altitude. Variation in rainfall primarily determines seasons and temperature is determined by altitude.

5.

What is the El Niño Current

a)

El Niño Current is a stage that kids go through while they are in Kindergarten.

b)

El Niño Current is a climate cycle in the Pacific Ocean with a global impact on weather patterns.

c)

When children behave good, they are manifesting the El Niño Current

b)

There is no difference between both. The El Niño Current and the El Niño Event are the same thing.

c)

The El Niño Event is when El Niño goes out with his family, while the El Niño Current is when the El Niño is left alone.

7.

What is the Humboldt Current?

a)

It is an electrical current with positive charge.

b)

It is a cold, low-salinity ocean current that flows north along the western coast of South America.

c)

It is a power current with negative charge.

8.

How does the Humboldt Current affect the climate in the Coast?

a)

It affects the water and air temperatures of coastal Chile, Peru and Ecuador; by bringing cold water north from the South Pacific.

b)

It allows people to go to the beach during the summer but not during the winter

b)

The movement of the Earth makes all the countries in the world have the same climate.

c)

Because of its spherical shape incoming solar radiation is not equally distributed over the planet. This produces different climates in different regions.

b)

It is the processes that are produced in the interior of the Earth

c)

It is the processes that happen inside the mechanical engine of a car, bus or truck.

12.

How do the movements of tectonic plates influence Ecuador´s landscapes?

a)

They do not influence Ecuador´s landscapes.

b)

They build large highways and road bridges.

c)

Areas like the Andes Mountains were formed by tectonic activity, as the oceanic crust plate sub ducted under the continental crust plate.

13.

What regions do the Andes Mountains divide Ecuador into?

The Andes Mountains divide Ecuador into the Amazon, the highlands and the coast.

b)

The Andes Mountains separate the land from the ocean.

c)

The Andes Mountains divide the region of the Ecuadorian Amazon from the Brazilian Amazon.

14.

Explain the difference between the Orogenic and Epeirogenic movements of the plates.

a)

Epeirogenic movements are radial movements that act along the radius of the earth. In contrast the Orogenic movement is a more complicated deformation of the Earth’s crust, associated with crustal thickening.

b)

Epeirogenic movements is when a large crowd of people gather heading towards a location, while Orogenic movements is when a small group of people move together towards a destination.

c)

There is no difference between the two movements.

15.

How are winds on Earth created?

When someone blows from the clouds.

b)

They are produced by the uneven heating of the earth's surface by the sun.
