Chapter 1: Air Temperature by Location
THIS is a general weather pattern over a long period of time.
What is CLIMATE?
THIS is ocean water flowing in a continuous path.
What is an OCEAN CURRENT?
THESE are winds that move in one direction and are strong enough to push ocean currents.
What are PREVAILING WINDS?
THIS is the meaning of the acronym O.G.P.
What is ONE GOOD PARAGRAPH?
What is the EQUATOR?
THIS is the distance of a place north or south of Earth's equator
What is LATITUDE?
When a current comes from the equator, it brings THIS type of water.
What is WARMER WATER?
Pick the correct claim: "Prevailing winds cause ocean currents to move in the same direction as the winds..."
Claim 1:in all places in the ocean.
Claim 2: in some places in the ocean.
Claim 3: nowhere in the ocean.
Claim 2 is correct
During THIS time period, South China was found in the Southern Hemisphere.
What is the LATE CARBONIFEROUS PERIOD?
When a current comes from the poles, it brings THIS type of water.
What is COLDER WATER?
Being in a location closer to THIS means that there will be decreased energy and temperature.
What are the POLES (NORTH & SOUTH)?
How many CAUSES are needed for an EFFECT?
Besides prevailing winds, THIS physical thing also determines the direction of ocean currents.
What are CONTINENTS?

:)
When you purposefully argue for an opposing viewpoint, even though you don't agree, is called THIS.
What is PLAYING DEVIL'S ADVOCATE?
The claim "The amount of incoming energy from the sun changes" is wrong because...
The amount of sunlight to a location STAYS THE SAME, year after year.
Fix this claim:
"Something about the Earth's surface changes."
Something about the Earth's OCEAN CURRENTS changes.
Fix this claim:
"Something about the air changes."
Something about the PREVAILING WINDS changes.
Air, like ocean currents, can move in THESE circular patterns.
What are GYRES?
THIS war may have been won, in large part, because of the naval advantages of the Gulf Stream for a defending navy.
How does the air get energy?
Energy is transferred from the _______ to the _______, and then to the ________.
Energy is transferred from the SUN to the SURFACE, and then to the AIR.
Energy transfers from THESE substances to THESE substances. Think of air & water currents.
What are WARMER TO COLDER?
The air temperature is cooler during El Nino years because THIS and THIS change.
What are OCEAN CURRENTS and PREVAILING WINDS?
If claim 2 (it was WARMER) is correct, explain how so much coal- which requires extreme heat & pressure- was produced from this era.
What is the MAXIMUM number of CAUSES for an EFFECT?
