- 1. Multiple ChoiceHow does the ocean affect weather on Earth?Waves in the ocean push on the air above, which causes storms to form.Salt in the ocean dries the air above, causing the air to heat up and rise.Water evaporates from the ocean, causing clouds to form and send rain back to Earth.Water in the ocean is cooler than the air above, which causes the air temperature to remain low.
- 2. Multiple ChoiceWhich relationship results in the highest level of evaporation from Earth’s water reservoirs?greatest surface area and most direct sunlightgreatest surface area and least direct sunlightleast surface area and most direct sunlightleast surface area and least direct sunlight
- 3. Multiple ChoiceEnergy from the Sun causes evaporation. Why does more evaporation happen from the oceans than from fresh-water sources?Oceans have a greater surface area.Salt water evaporates faster than freshwater.The air over oceans can hold more water vapor.Oceans touch more landmasses than freshwater sources.
