The air temperature of a location is dependent upon ....

energy transferred from the surface of the earth

energy transferred from nearby water

move from one object to another or one place to another

standing in one area for a certain period of time

Which city will have higher average temperatures?

They will have the same average temperatures.

In our experiment in class, the temperature of the air was warmer over the rocks than with no surface underneath. This is because...

the energy bounced off the rocks and up into the air

the energy was absorbed by the air directly

the air was different in each cup

If the star represents the start of the current, what should happen to the air temperature in Christchurch, New Zealand?

The current will bring warm water to Christchurch and energy from the water will transfer to the air.

The current will bring warm water to Christchurch and energy from the air will transfer to the water.

The current will bring cold water to Christchurch and energy from the air will transfer to the water.

The current will bring cold water to Christchurch and energy from the water will transfer to the air.

If the star represents the start of the current, what should happen to the air temperature in Ecuador?

The current will bring cold water to Ecuador and energy from the air will transfer to the water.

The current will bring warm water to Ecuador and energy from the air will transfer to the water.

The current will bring warm water to Ecuador and energy from the water will transfer to the air.

The current will bring cold water to Ecuador and energy from the water will transfer to the air.

Two cities at the same latitude have different air temperatures. What is most likely the cause.

both are close to an ocean but each city had a current that starts in a different location

the amount of energy from the sun is different between the two

the amount of energy from the sun is the same between the two

both are close to an ocean with the same type of current

Which of the following accurately describes El Nino?

El Nino is a weather phenomenon that happens from a slight temperature change.

Saskatoon is farther from the equator than Lubbock. Which location has a warmer air temperature and why?

Lubbock, because more energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.

Lubbock, because more energy is transferred from the sun directly to the air.

Saskatoon, because more energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.

Saskatoon, because more energy is transferred from the sun directly to the air.

Hopetown is farther from the equator than Kamina. Which location has a colder air temperature and why?

Hopetown, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.

Kamina, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the air.

Kamina, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.

Hopetown, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the air.

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 ;-(
