Unit 2 Factors That Affect Climate Retake Test

Surface currents move toward the equator becoming warm and dense and sink. They then move toward the poles where they become less dense in the cooler waters and slowly rise to the surface.

Surface currents move toward the poles becoming cool and dense and sink. They then move toward the equator where they become less dense in the warmer waters and slowly rise to the surface.

Surface currents move toward the equator becoming cool, less dense and sink. They then move toward the poles where they become denser in the cooler waters and slowly rise to the surface.

Surface currents move toward the poles becoming warmer and less dense and they rise to the surface. They then move toward the equator where they become cool, denser, and they sink.

Saltier water flows more slowly, creating a drag on the water and forming a current.

The saltier water floats away on the surface. Water flows up from the bottom to replace it, forming a current.

Saltier water is higher in density than fresh water. This water then sinks to the bottom, forming a current.

Saltier water travels from the equator. This warmer water is denser, and it sinks toward the bottom, forming a current.

Even heating of Earth’s surface causes ocean water to rise and sink, creating conduction currents.

Even heating of Earth’s surface causes ocean water to rise and sink, creating convection currents.

Uneven heating of Earth’s surface causes ocean water to rise and sink, creating convection currents.

Uneven heating of Earth’s surface causes ocean water to rise and sink, creating conduction currents.

Warm winds blow over the oceans from land, causing the ocean water to warm up.

Warmer ocean water from the equator flows toward Earth’s poles, where the water cools and sinks.

Waves are created by wind, which warms the water by friction and pushes water around in the oceans.

Ocean water along the shore rises and falls two times during each day, washing heat from the sand into the oceans.

Warm air rises from the equator and moves toward the poles because it is less dense.

Warm air rises from the equator and moves toward the poles because it is more dense.

Warm air rises from the north and south poles, then sinks toward the equator because it is less dense.

It proves that direct heating occurs more at the equator than at the poles.

This is a conduction current in which cold less dense air is rising while warm dense air is sinking due to the uneven heating of the earth.

This is an ocean current where the warm water is heading toward the equator while the cold water is heading toward the poles.

This is a convection current in which warm less dense air is rising while cold dense air is sinking due to the uneven heating of the earth.

This is the current that happens over mountains during the winter.
