Question 18

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...

Accepted Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Question 19

Bishkek is farther from the equator than Hyderabad. Which location has a warmer

air temperature and why?

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 20

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...

Accepted Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Answer

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.
