Identify the phrase that best describes a transfer of energy between the hydrosphere and the atmosphere.

• Ocean currents transport warm water from the equator to the poles and cold water from the poles to the tropics.

• These currents help regulate air temperatures and, therefore, the global climate, counteracting the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth.

• If there were no currents, the temperature near the equator would be extremely hot, and the temperature near the poles would be extremely cold.

• These areas would not be suitable for living things to survive.

Identify the sentence that describes a characteristic of the Coriolis effect.

• The prevailing winds move the surface ocean waters in the direction of the wind.

• Because of to Earth’s rotation, the winds are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.

• Deep ocean currents result from the density differences in water at locations around the world.

• Tides are caused by the forces of attraction between Earth and the Sun and Earth and the Moon.
