Delta and Alpha 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 Delta compare to the air temperature of Alpha? Delta is.....
the same as Alpha. 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.
warmer than Alpha. Moving air with a lot of energy turns and follows the coast toward Delta; moving air with only a little energy turns and follows the coast toward Alpha.
warmer than Alpha. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Delta and energy is transferred from the air to the ocean at Alpha.
Ocean currents bring warm water from the equator towards Earth's
continents
poles
southern hemisphere
equator
If two places are the same distance from the equator then they will always have the same air temperature!!
True the location on the equator determines temperature of the air
False, it depends on ocean currents and winds and how much energy is transferred
Maybe? I don't know? I didn't pay attention in class all unit. Sorry ;-(
Heat transfer is really neat! It always goes from
hot to cold
cold to hot
top to bottom
bottom to top

more; lighter
less; heavier
less; lighter

matter
fresh water
When the air temperature over the land is warmer than the nearby ocean temperature, energy is transferred from the _____ to the _____.

air; water
Isumi and San Luis Obispo 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 Isumi compare to the air temperature of San Luis Obispo? Why?
The air temperature at Isumi is
warmer than San Luis Obispo. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Isumi and energy is transferred from the air to the ocean at San Luis Obispo.
warmer than San Luis Obispo. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. A lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Isumi; only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at San Luis Obispo.
warmer than San Luis Obispo. Moving air with a lot of energy turns and follows the coast toward Isumi; moving air with only a little energy turns and follows the coast toward San Luis Obispo.
the same as San Luis Obispo. Both locations are the same distance from the equator. The winds push the ocean water, and it turns to follow the coast past both locations, so the same amount of energy is transferred to the air.
Energy is transferred from the ocean to the air when the ocean is warmer and from air to ocean when the air is
warmer
colder
same
