Austin is at a higher latitude
Austin has more hills while Houston is flat
Austin is lucky
Houston is on the coast
4
Which of the following is true?

5
How do convection currents, such as winds and ocean gyres, flow?
cool fluids are less dense and rise while warm currents sink
Currents can't flow
warm fluids rise and cooler fluids sink

Ocean gyres
A sea breeze
Lava lamp
Microwaves
13
How do we calculate the total average speed shown on the graph?
Divide the total distance by the total time
Determine the total time
Divide the total time by the total distance
Determine the total distance

18
How do oceans moderate coastal temperatures?
they cool the coastlines with cold currents
they heat and cool slowly
they bring lots of warm air and sunshine
19

Electrical-chemical-Light
Chemical-Electrical-Light
Electrical- Mechanical-Light
Light-Thermal-Chemical
20
Why are currents warmer at the equator than at the poles?
The equator gets more direct sunlight
The poles are tilted more
The poles larger and cooler
The equator is closer to the tropics
21
Why do coastlines have more rain than inland cities?
they are near an ocean
the elevation is low
they are near the equator
the water flows in waves
22
What part of the water cycle best represents condensation?
Water vapor rising
Run off into lakes and stream
Raining
Cloud formation
23
Where do sea breezes push the clouds?
from the sea to land
up mountains
from land to sea
24
Why is the East coast of South America warmer than the West coast?
Both coasts have the same temperatures at the same latitudes
The current near the East coast comes from the equator
The West coast is farther from other continents
The current near the West coast is rising and is less dense
25
Radiation comes in
through the flow of heat rising and cold sinking
waves or rays
physical touch
26
How does heat travel from the equator to the north pole?
By airplane
Conduction
Radiation
Convection Currents
27
The image shows that energy can transfer from the ocean to power a house. How is this possible?
The law of conservation of mass
Heavy rains supply the energy
Cold water is dense and can make energy
The law of conservation of Energy
28
What does "L mean on a weather map?
Loser
Laughing out loud
Low pressure clear skies
Low pressure clouds and rain
29
Which elements are the best conductors of thermal energy?
Noble gases
Non metals
Metals
Metalloids
30
What is the law of conservation of energy?
The sun is the source of energy on Earth
Earth gets uneven heating because it is a sphere
energy cannot be created or destroyed
Energy needs to be conserved for our future
