H marks a high pressure area, L marks a low pressure area and the arrows represent wind direction. What can you conclude?
Air moves from high pressure to low pressure
air moves from low pressure to high pressure
the east coast of the US will be windier than the west coast
the west coast of the US will be windier than the east coast
Which of the following effects only global winds?
Uneven heating of earth's surface
the Coriolis Effect and Earth's rotation
differences in pressure
land and water
The warm, strong current off the coast of Florida is the

Heat transfer is really neat! It always goes from
hot to cold
cold to hot
top to bottom
bottom to top

continents
southern hemisphere
equator
poles
When the air temperature over the land is warmer than the nearby ocean temperature, energy is transferred from the _____ to the _____.
water; air
water; sun
air; sun
air; water
In coastal areas, at night, the breeze moves:
From the ocean to land (Sea Breeze)
From the clouds to water due to precipitation
From the land towards the ocean (Land Breeze)
From the surface to the stratosphere
How can jet streams effect weather?
they can cause temperatures to only cool down
they can cause temperatures to stay the same and precipitation
they can cause temperatures to change and precipitation
they can cause temperatures to warm up only
Ocean currents are
one current that flows from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean
a small current in the gulf
a mass movement or flow of ocean water.
Look at he picture. How does the gulf stream affect Europe's coastline?
brings warmer water and waves
brings cooler water
brings cooler water and waves
brings warmer water and more humidity
Is this a land or sea breeze?
land breeze
sea breeze
What causes winds to form on Earth?
solar energy
ocean currents
elevation differences
uneven heating of the Earth by the sun
The main reason that we have currents in the ocean and air is
the sun heats the air and ocean evenly everywhere
the heat inside the earth heats the ocean and the ocean heats the air
the sun heats air and water more at the equator because it receives more direct sunlight
the sun cannot heat both the air and water, so one must heat the other
Energy for convection on the Earth comes from...
the sun
solar winds
the moon
the ocean
Heat transfers from an area of ____temperature to an area of ___ temperature.
high to low
low to high
high to high
it can travel high to low and low and high
The Gulf Stream is a current that brings warm ocean water from the south to the north. What type of heat transfer is this?
conduction
convection
radiation
isolation
What do dry air masses usually form over?
oceans
land
An air mass is
a large body of air with about the same temperature and humidity throughout

a cold air mass that bumps against a warm air mass
a place where two different air masses meet
If an air mass forms above land, it will be
wet
cold
dry
hot
If an air mass forms over an ocean it will be
wet
cold
dry
warm
Which type of air would you find at air mass D?
cold, dry
warm, dry
warm, humid
cold, humid
What characteristics are used to classify air masses?
temperature and humidity
pressure and temperature
latitude and longitude
wind speed and direction
