Which of the following affect SURFACE ocean currents. (Choose all that apply)

The locations of the continents

These two cities are near the same current and have similar elevations. Which one will have colder average temperatures?

They will be the same average temperatures.

These two cities are near the ocean and have similar elevations and latitudes. Which one will have colder average temperatures?

They will be the same average temperatures.

Changes in prevailing winds leads to a change in....(Choose all that apply)

The amount of energy brought to a location

the average air temperature of a location

Fairview and Washington are the same distance from the equator, and both cities are near the ocean. The air temperature in Fairview is colder than the air temperature in Washington. Where does Fairview's current come from?

It cannot be determined with this information.

How does the Gulf Stream affect the climate in Florida and the United Kingdom?

Florida and the United Kingdom have warmer climates compared to locations at the same latitude.

Florida and the United Kingdom have colder climates.

Florida and the United Kingdom have dryer climates.

Arica and Beira 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 Arica compare to the air temperature of Beira? Why? The air temperature at Arica is...

colder than Beira. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Energy is transferred from the air to the ocean at Arica and energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Beira.

colder than Beira. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Arica, and a lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Beira.

colder than Beira. Moving air with only a little energy turns and follows the coast toward Arica; moving air with a lot of energy turns and follows the coast toward Beira.

the same as Beira. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Oakland and Milton are the same distance from the equator and they are both near the ocean. Use the information on the map to answer these questions: How does the air temperature of Oakland compare to the air temperature of Milton? Why? The air at Oakland is...

colder than Milton. At Oakland, energy is transferred from the air to the ocean. At Milton, energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.

the same as Milton. They are both near moving ocean water, so the same amount of energy is transferred to the air at both locations.

the same as Milton. Even though the ocean water at each location is a different temperature, the same amount of energy is transferred to the air at both locations.

colder than Milton. At Oakland, only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Milton, a lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.
