Question

Alesund and Khatyrka are the same distance from the equator and they are both near the ocean. Use the information on the map to answer these questions: How does the air temperature of Alesund compare to the air temperature of Khatyrka? Why? The air at Alesund is a the same as Khatyrka. Even though the ocean water at each location is a different temperature, the same amount of energy is transferred to the air at both locations. b the same as Khatyrka. They are both near moving ocean water, so the same amount of energy is transferred to the air at both locations. c warmer than Khatyrka. At Alesund, energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Khatyrka, energy is transferred from the air to the ocean. d warmer than Khatyrka. At Alesund, a lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Khatyrka, only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air.

Answer 1

Answer:

c warmer than Khatyrka. At Alesund, energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Khatyrka, energy is transferred from the air to the ocean.

Explanation:

The ocean current towards Alesund is from the equator and is therefore warmer than the sorrounding air so, heat energy is transfered to the air from the ocean. For Khatyrka, ocean current is from the north pole and is colder than the sorrounding air. Therefore heat energy is transfered from the air to the ocean.

This is besides the fact that they are both on the same latitude and hence receive the same amount of mean solar radiation intensity.
