What is one function of ocean gyres?
Transport warm water to poles
Transport warm water to equator
Create permanent loops
Increase Earth's temperature
How do gyres help Earth's climate?
They create storms
They regulate Earth's temperature
They increase ocean salinity

What is the main factor that differentiates a hurricane from a typhoon?
Wind speed
Temperature
Location
Size
What is common between hurricanes and typhoons?
They occur in the same ocean
They have the same wind speed threshold
They are different types of storms
They form in cold regions
Which of the following is true about hurricanes and typhoons?
They have different formation processes
They are named based on location
They occur only in the Southern Hemisphere
They have winds less than 100 km/h
What is the role of humid air in a hurricane?
It cools the ocean.
It makes the clouds of the storm.
It stops the winds.
It reduces evaporation.
Hurricanes weaken above land because they are no longer fueled by warm ocean water.
True
False
Which statement correctly defines wind?
Wind is the movement of air from areas of low pressure to areas of high pressure
Wind is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
Wind is the movement of air to a colder area in the atmosphere.
Wind is the movement of air pushed around and bouncing off Earth's surface.
Where does the initial source of energy come from that creates winds?
the moon
the sun
the rotation of the Earth
Why does warm air rise?
Warm air is more dense than cooler air.
Warm air is less dense than cooler air.
Warm air has more pressure than cooler air.
Warm air has a higher dew point than cooler air.
What causes wind?
Too much Taco Bell
Differences in elevation
The uneven heating of the Earth by the sun
Ocean currents
In general, how does air move?
From areas of lower pressure to areas of higher pressure
From areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure
From areas of hot to cold
A big fan blows it around
What causes the Coriolis Effect?
Rotation of the Earth
Rotation of the Moon
Earth tilt
Rotation of the Sun
What are Doldrums?
An area in the sea with high wind activity
A place where many earthquakes occur
An area at the equator with little to no wind activity
Book by Nicholas Gannon
What causes differences in air pressure?
even heating of the Earth
Even cooling of the earth
uneven heating of the earth
global warming
