What is also known as "The Global Conveyor Belt"?
Global warming
Climate change
Ocean currents
Weather patterns
We studied a real life phenomenon that happens every 2 to 7 years where the oceans get warmer. In California, we experience a more rainy season. In Australia, they experience more drought and wildfires. What is this called?
El Nino
Hurricanes
Tornadoes
La Nina

What is the definition of convection?
The amount of matter in a given space or volume
A circular movement of liquids caused by temperature differences
Saltiness or dissolved salt content of a body of water
Relating to the whole world
