Ocean, Atmosphere, Climate Review

latitude is

• distance north or south of equator

• distance east or west

• how far something is from sea level

energy transfers from

• high energy to low energy

• low energy to high energy

• it depends

energy will transfer from air to ocean if

• the ocean is warmer

• the air is warmer

• the air has more energy

• the ocean has more energy

energy will transfer from ocean to air if

• the ocean has less energy

• the ocean has more energy/warmer

• the air is warmer

• the air has less energy

If two locations are at the same latitude, they will always be the same temperature

• true

• false

There is only one cause (thing that will change) air temperature

• true

• false

A cold current passes Melbourne, Australia. The temperature of Australia will

• increase temperature

• decrease temperature

• stay the same temperature

A warm current passes Iceland. Iceland's temperature will

• decrease

• increase

Two things that influence the direction of ocean currents

• location of continents

• direction of prevailing wind

• energy in the air

• latitude

Tags

NGSS.MS-ESS2-6

If the direction of prevailing winds change,

• the direction of the ocean currents will stay the same

• the direction of the ocean currents will change direction also

• the direction of ocean currents will do nothing
