2 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall, Pearson Education, Inc. Review: Temperature Concepts and Measurement Which of the following temperatures is the coldest? A.–40° Celsius B.–40° Fahrenheit C.233 Kelvin D.They are all about the same temperature. E.Temperatures cannot be compared between scales.

3 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall, Pearson Education, Inc. Review: Temperature Concepts and Measurement Which of the following temperatures is the warmest? A.40° Celsius B.100° Fahrenheit C.273 Kelvin D.They are all about the same temperature. E.Temperatures cannot be compared between scales.

4 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall, Pearson Education, Inc. Review: Principal Temperature Controls With increasing latitude, A.seasonal variation in temperature is greater. B.average annual temperature is lower. C.winter cold temperatures are lower. D.all of the above E.none of the above

5 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall, Pearson Education, Inc. Review: Principal Temperature Controls Which of the following is incorrect regarding land and water? A.Land cools more quickly than water. B.Water is slower to warm than land. C.Land warms rapidly because temperature is shared between the surface of land and layers underneath. D.Evaporation from water’s surface contributes latent heat to the atmosphere but keeps the water relatively cool.

6 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall, Pearson Education, Inc. Review: Principal Temperature Controls AB Given that these two locations are at the same latitude, which one is more continental?

7 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall, Pearson Education, Inc. Review: High Latitude Connection Which relationship is most correct regarding 20th-century temperature trends in the polar regions? A.In the north polar region, decreased sea ice is providing positive feedback to increased melting. B.In the south polar region, glaciers are melting more rapidly than anywhere else on Earth. C.While the Arctic has seen a loss of sea ice since 1970, there has not been a trend over the last 100 years. D.Polar regions are not warming as rapidly from global climate change as the rest of the world is.
