Question

Why is the average annual high temperature in Cape Hatteras, NC higher than the average annual high temperature in Monterey, CA?

Answer 1

Answer:How does wet soil differ from dry soil in its ability to absorb heat?(1 point)

• Wet soil absorbs heat more slowly, due to water's low evaporation point.

• Wet soil absorbs heat more quickly, due to water's high heat capacity.

• Wet soil absorbs heat more slowly, due to water's high heat capacity.

• Wet soil absorbs heat more quickly, due to water's low evaporation point.

Which of these changes Earth’s climate mainly over time spans of millions of years?(1 point)

• plate tectonics ****

• human interactions

• ocean currents

• volcanic eruption

How does Earth’s tilt affect climate?(1 point)

• It causes days to be warmer and nights to be cooler.

• It produces uneven heating of Earth’s surface by the sun.****

• It causes some areas to be closer to the sun and others farther away.

• It produces winds that have a cooling effect in areas close to the poles.

When a weather forecaster predicts a "low-pressure system" will pass through the area, what type of weather should be expected? (1 point)

• sunny, fair weather

• much colder weather

• a severe storm such as a hurricane

• clouds and possible precipitation****

A weather model applies mathematical equations to(1 point)

• each place on Earth weather data have been collected.

• the average weather conditions in an area.

• each grid point on a three-dimensional grid. ****

• the temperature in a location every 30 minutes.

Which of the following is true of the surface water and deep water of the ocean? (1 point)

• There is little vertical mixing between layers because currents only flow sideways.

• There is constant vertical mixing between layers because the warm water is atop the colder water.

• There is constant vertical mixing as freshwater evaporates and the salty surface water that remains sinks.

• There is little vertical mixing between layers because the warm water is atop the colder water.****

On what are weather models based?(1 point)

• physics that describes how air moves and heat and moisture are exchanged****

• physical science that describes how water changes state in the atmosphere

• chemistry that describes how the different materials in the atmosphere interact

• astronomy that describes how Earth's atmosphere changes

Why is the average annual high temperature in Cape Hatteras, NC higher than the average annual high temperature in Monterey, CA?(2 points)

• A warm water deep current flows along the east coast of the United States and a cold water deep current flows along the west coast of the United States.

• A warm water surface current flows along the east coast of the United States and a cold water surface current flows along the west coast of the United States.****

• A cold water surface current flows along the east coast of the United States and a warm water surface current flows along the west coast of the United States.

• A cold water deep current flows along the east coast of the United States and a warm water deep current flows along the west coast of the United States.

Answer 2

The answer would be a because the jet stream is very cold and come down to the water like a magnet sort of and keeps the top of the water cold so there for you have a cold water current on the top of the water so the answer is )A
