What is the relationship between the white arrows and the black arrows in this map?

The currents are caused by the global winds

Which of the following represents the molecules in a gas?

The preschoolers eating sugar at the play ground.

Which three factors most directly affect surface currents in the oceans?

Global winds, Coriolis effect, continent deflection

Which of the following best describes the movement of heat energy in the global ocean?

Heat in surface currents are moved from equator to poles

Water has a high specific heat, this means water.....

Can hold large amounts of energy

Clouds form when water vapor (eVAPORation) in the air

Condenses into visible tiny water droplets floating in air.

How is solid water different from liquid water?

The molecules move more slowly and have less heat energy

Because of global ocean currents, what is the ocean water like on the East Coast of the USA?

Warm because current is from the south

Which would be the best example of the water cycle transporting energy?

The sun evaporates water and heat moves (change of state)

Washington & Oregon, are just as far north as Minnesota but have different climate zones. Why?

Washington & Oregon are close to water which holds its heat

What role do plants play in the water cycle?

They release water into the air (transpiration).

Because of global ocean currents, what is the ocean water like on the West Coast of the USA?

Cold because current is from the north

If Sally takes the temp. for one week and its warm can she say it's tropical climate there?

No, one week of warm temps does not determine the climate

What conclusion about Earth’s surface currents could someone draw by looking at the map?

Surface currents in the northern hemisphere flow clockwise

Answers

1
What is the relationship between the white arrows and the black arrows in this map?
The currents are caused by the global winds
There is no relationship between the arrows
The winds are warm and so are the currents
The winds are caused by the currents
2
Which of the following represents the molecules in a gas?
The preschoolers eating sugar at the play ground.
Old people playing bingo at a nursing home
Teenagers sleeping
Middle school kids during 1st hour
3
Runoff is most like which of the following?
A flowing stream
A form of precipitation
An invisable form of water
A cloud in the sky
4
Which three factors most directly affect surface currents in the oceans?
Deep currents, convection currents & windmills
upwelling, the Suns energy, convection
Global winds, Coriolis effect, continent deflection
dissolved solids & gases, and the Suns energy
5
Which of the following best describes the movement of heat energy in the global ocean?
Heat transported from poles to the equator
Heat in surface currents transported from low to high temp.
Heat in deep currents transported to ocean surface
Heat in surface currents are moved from equator to poles
6
Water has a high specific heat, this means water.....
Can hold large amounts of energy
Water is a good electrical conductor
heats up fast and cools down fast
Doesn't hold much energy
7
Clouds form when water vapor (eVAPORation) in the air
in high pressure areas
when cooler air is sinking
Condenses into visible tiny water droplets floating in air.
is changed by magical rabbits poofy clouds
8
How is solid water different from liquid water?
The molecules are wet
The molecules move more slowly and have less heat energy
The molecules are almost motionless (absolute zero)
The molecules have more energy
9
Because of global ocean currents, what is the ocean water like on the East Coast of the USA?
Cold because current is from the north
Warm because current is from the south
Cold because current is from the south
Warm because current is from the north
10
Which of the following are the two main factors that determine climate?
Temperature and Winds
Temperature and Pressure
Temperature and Humidity
Temperature and Precipitation
11
Which would be the best example of the water cycle transporting energy?
A river transporting sediment down stream
Glaciers moving rocks and sand
The sun evaporates water and heat moves (change of state)
Wind moving dust and sand in the desert
12
Washington & Oregon, are just as far north as Minnesota but have different climate zones. Why?
Washington & Oregon are next to Pacific with warm water
Washington & Oregon are close to water which holds its heat
Minnesota is far from the equator
Washington and Oregon get more direct sun
13
What role do plants play in the water cycle?
They release water into the air (transpiration).
They create new water in their leaves
They consume water from the air
They use carbon dioxide
14
Because of global ocean currents, what is the ocean water like on the West Coast of the USA?
Cold because current is from the south
Warm because current is from the south
Cold because current is from south
Cold because current is from the north
15
Dry ice gets its name from being a solid that changes directly to a gas without being a liquid.
Liquification
Sublimation
Transpiration
Evaporation
16
Which of the following represents the molecules in a solid?
A preschool playground
excerscise time at a cross fit gym
a hockey game in play
Teenagers sleeping
17
If Sally takes the temp. for one week and its warm can she say it's tropical climate there?
yes if it a warm enough
No, one week of warm temps does not determine the climate
Only if it's a rainforest
yes if it is mostly sunny
18
What conclusion about Earth’s surface currents could someone draw by looking at the map?
Surface currents in the southern hemisphere flow clockwise
surface currents in eastern hemisphere flow counterclockwise
Surface currents in western hemisphere flow counterclockwise
Surface currents in the northern hemisphere flow clockwise
19
What process leaves drops of water on a cold glass of water?
Evaporation
Sublimation
Condensation
Transpiration
