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.
Luderitz 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 Luderitz compare to the air temperature of Florianopolis? Why?The air at Luderitz is
colder than Florianopolis. At Luderitz, 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 Luderitz, 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.
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.
