Presentation transcript:

A student set up the investigation shown below. Which real life situation is the student modeling? how the oceans heat the land how Earth’s oceans become salty how lakes affect land around them how the Sun affects oceans and land

Seattle, Washington, and Bismarck, North Dakota, are at about the same latitude (distance from the Equator). However, Seattle is a coastal city, while Bismarck is an inland city. The table shows how the average temperatures in these cities are different. Which statement best explains these differences? Sea breezes cool water near the shore. Cities near the ocean have greater air pressure. Air collects more heat over water than over the land. The rate of temperature change is slower in water than on land.

Which is a factor that most likely would affect the climate in a particular area? amount of lightning distance from an ocean number of earthquakes shape of the shoreline

Which of these has the greatest capacity for storing thermal energy from the Sun? Air Land Ocean Plants

A student investigates land and water temperatures during a sunny week in the summertime. He measures temperatures in a lake and on a beach next to the lake several times throughout the day and night. Which observation will the student most likely make? Land temperatures drop rapidly after sunset. Water temperatures remain the same all week. Land and water temperatures rise rapidly in the late afternoon. Water temperatures always remain higher than land temperatures.

Land heats up faster during the day than water does Land heats up faster during the day than water does. As the beach gets warm during the day, it heats the air above it. The warm air rises and cool air from the ocean is pulled in to replace it. So, air flows from the ocean to the land. At night, the land cools faster than the ocean. What most likely happens to the air at the beach at night? The air is still. The air moves along the coast. The air flows from the ocean to the land. The air flows from the land to the ocean.

The picture below shows the local weather condition called a sea breeze. What is the main reason a sea breeze begins? Water receives less solar energy than land does. More clouds form over the ocean than over land. Cool air rises over the ocean, then sinks over land. Sunlight heats land more quickly than it heats water.

What is the primary cause of rainstorms? Earth is heated by the Sun. Mountains direct moist air upward. Water forms droplets when cooled. Most of Earth is covered with water.

Which statement about the relationship between the ocean and atmosphere is most accurate? Ocean currents do not affect the atmosphere. The atmosphere stores more heat than the ocean. The ocean can hold heat more efficiently than the air. Ocean currents can move faster than air or wind currents.

Because of global wind patterns, weather over the continental United States usually travels ________ from north to west. from west to east. from south to north. from east to south.

List and describe the 2 factors responsible for global winds.
