City 1 and City 2 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 City 1 compare to the air temperature of City 2? Why?
The same as City 2. Both locations are the same distance from the equator. The winds push the ocean water, and it turns to follow the coast past both locations, so the same amount of energy is transferred to the air.
Colder than City 2. Moving air with only a little energy turns and follows the coast toward City 1. Moving air with a lot of energy turns and follows the coast toward City 2.
Colder than City 2. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Energy is transferred from the air to the ocean at City 1 and energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at City 2.
Colder than City 2. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at City 1; more energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at City 2.
Answer explanation
Winds blow warm ocean current and hits land and turns towards City 2. Winds blow cool ocean currents and hit land and turns towards City 1.

Hopetown is farther from the equator than Kamina. Which location has a colder air temperature and why?
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.
Hopetown, because less energy is transferred from the sun directly to the surface, and then from the surface to the air.
