Weather and Climate II: Seasonal Differences
Item CL060002: Both air currents and ocean currents can affect the air temperature of a place by transferring thermal energy to and from that place.
Can air currents and ocean currents affect the air temperature of a place near the ocean by transferring thermal energy to and from that place?
- Both air currents and ocean currents can affect the air temperature of a place by transferring thermal energy to and from that place.
- Air currents can affect the air temperature of a place by transferring thermal energy to and from that place, but ocean currents cannot
- Ocean currents can affect the air temperature of a place by transferring thermal energy to and from the place, but air currents cannot
- Neither air currents nor ocean currents can affect the air temperature of a place. Air temperature is not affected by the transfer of thermal energy to or from any place.
