________ is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
Surface
Current
Climate
How does the air temperature of Oakland compare to the air temperature of Milton? Why?
the same as Milton. 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.
the same as Milton. They are both near moving ocean water, so the same amount of energy is transferred to the air at both locations.
colder than Milton. At Oakland, only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Milton, a lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.
colder than Milton. At Oakland, energy is transferred from the air to the ocean. At Milton, energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.
The layers of gases that surround Earth are called?
humidity
oxygen
nitrogen
atmosphere
An imaginary line that divides earth into northern and southern hemispheres is called the______ .
prime meridian
latitude
longitude
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.
Palmas, because more energy is transferred from the sun directly to the air.
Palmas, because more energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.
Neuquén, because more energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.
Which combination of climate factors generally results in the coldest temperatures?
low elevation and low latitude
high elevation and low latitude
low elevation and high latitude
high elevation and high latitude
How does the air temperature of Lüderitz compare to the air temperature of Florianopolis? Why?
colder than Florianopolis. At Lüderitz, 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.
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.
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.
colder than Florianopolis. At Lüderitz, energy is transferred from the air to the ocean. At Florianopolis, energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.
_________ is the result or change that happens because of an event or process.
Cause
Claim
Evidence
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 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.
Quetta, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the air.
How does the air temperature of Clare Island compare to the air temperature of Cartwright? Why?
warmer than Cartwright. At Clare Island, a lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Cartwright, only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.
warmer than Cartwright. At Clare Island, energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Cartwright, energy is transferred from the air to the ocean.
the same as Cartwright. 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.
the same as Cartwright. They are both near moving ocean water, so the same amount of energy is transferred to the air at both locations.

Fill in the blank: The closer a location is to the equator, the _________energy it receives from the sun.
less
more
surface
energy
True or False The energy from the sun gets directly transferred to the air?
True
Ocean water flowing in a continuous path is called ocean currents.
True
False - ocean currents don’t move at all
False - ocean currents stop and go
The closer a location is to the equator, the more energy it receives from the sun.
False - it doesn’t matter how far you are from the equator, the amount of energy doesn’t change
False - the less energy it receives
True
Locations closer to the poles have higher energy and higher air temperatures.
False - Locations closer to the prime meridian have higher energy and higher air temperatures.
False - Locations closer to the equator have higher energy and higher air temperatures.
True
What do you call a giant pattern of moving water that spans whole oceans and moves water from place to place in a circle?
hurricane
gyre
gulf stream
tornado
Kuta and Rog are the same distance from the equator, and they are both near the ocean. Using the information in the map, how does the air temperature of Kuta compare to the air temperature of Rog? Why?
The air temperature of Kuta is...
colder than Rog. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Kuta, and a lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Rog.
colder than Rog. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Energy is transferred from the air to the ocean at Kuta and energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Rog.
colder than Rog. Moving air with only a little energy turns and follows the coast toward Kuta; moving air with a lot of energy turns and follows the coast toward Rog.
the same as Rog. Both locations are the same distance from the equator. The winds push the ocean water, and it turns to follow the coast in both locations, so the same amount of energy is transferred to the air.
Fill in the blank: _______ and the _______ determine the direction of ocean currents.
Temperature and rainfall
Sunlight and moon phases
Prevailing winds and the position of continents
Sunlight and energy
What is the term for 'energy is transferred by direct contact'?
Insulation
Convection
Conduction
Radiation
Santos and Lüderitz are the same distance from the equator, and both cities are near the ocean. The air temperature in Lüderitz is colder than the air temperature in Santos. What causes the air temperature in these places to be different?
Explain what causes the difference as completely as you can.
