If you are further away from the equator, do you get more heat, to less heat
What is less heat
where does an ocean current form when it brings colder-than-expected water to the place that it has passed?
What is a pole
How does air get energy?
Energy from the sun is transferred to the earth's surface. Some of that energy is then transferred to the air above the surface
why do different locations have different air temperatures?
It gets different energy because of how close, or far away you are from the equator.
How does energy transfer?
Energy transfers from hot to cold, or warmer to colder.
What determines the direction of ocean currents?
Something that determines the dicection of the ocean currents is to position of the prevailing winds and continents
How can changes to prevailing winds affect the air temperature?
changes to ocean currents affect how much energy is brought to (or taken away from) a location.
what does latitude affect
climate and weather patterns, impacting temperature, and precipitation
what does longitude affect
longitude affects the influence of weather patterns and climate
what causes precipitation?
precipitation is caused by forms of when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses and becomes heavy enough to fall
What is transferred to the surface of the earth?
What is energy?
How does temperature affect climate?
changes in sea level, global weather patterns, and impact on ocean circulation.
