Science Assessment ~ Topics ~ Weather and Climate II: Seasonal Differences ~ Misconception CLM052

How close a place is to the ocean does not affect the air temperature at that place (AAAS Project 2061, n.d.).

Items that test for misconception CLM052 in this project (Original Project) and key idea (The air temperature at any place de…)
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen
CL070002	Places at the same latitude can have different high temperatures on a given day even if they are at the same elevation and the same distance from the ocean.	19%
CL063002	The air temperature range is usually smaller the closer a place is to an ocean.	15%
CL062002	The air temperature range is usually smaller the closer a place is to an ocean.	13%
