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

Currents release thermal energy, which can affect a location's

• oxygen

• climate air temperature

• sunlight

• longitude

Which location receives the most direct sunlight all year?

• The North Pole

• The equator

• Temperate Zones
