An effect may have more than one _______; these may be linked into a chain of causes and effects.
Cause
Changes to _____ winds affect ocean currents. Changes to ocean currents affected how much _____is brought (or taken from ) a location
...prevailing... energy
What is the cause of a Coriolis Effect
The spinning movement of Earth
When does energy transfer from the air to the land?
When the air has more energy
Energy transfers from ______ substances to ______ substances. Warmer currents transfer energy to cooler air, and warmer air transfers energy to cooler currents.
....warmer....colder
What are prevailing winds?
Wind that is blowing in one direction
What is the cause of the Deep ocean currents?
when temperature and salt affect the cold water, making it sink at the pole.
When does the energy from the land transfer to the air?
When the sun gives more energy to the land
The closer a location is to the _______, the more energy it receives from the sun. Therefore, a location's air temperature is affected by it's _____from the equator.
...equator...distance
What is the Coriolis Effect?
What are examples of prevailing winds?
rustling leaves and the winds that drive ocean currents
How can the temperature differ between locations when the places have different latitudes?
The location closest to the equator will have a warmer temperature
When an ocean current comes from the ______, it brings warmer-than-expected water to the places it passes, and that water is warmer that the nearby air. When an ocean current comes from a _____, it brings colder-than-expected water to the places it passes, and that water is colder than the nearby air.
...equator...pole
What are the deep ocean currents?
current that moves from equator to poles
What is an example of coriolis effect?
When winds at the equator are blowing towards the west.
Other than latitude, what is another cause of temperature difference?
ex.
ocean distance
time and day
