by the spin of the earth
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
The Gulf Stream is a cold
surface current.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?

because it forms near the
equator.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
Deep ocean currents
originate at the equator.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
Warm water sinking at the
poles causes a deep current.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
When ocean water freezes at
the poles the salt stays in the
ocean making it higher in salt
content.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
Ocean gyres are made up of a
warm current and a cold
current.
True

ocean water rising to the
surface.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
Upwellings are NOT good
places to fish because of the
cold water.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
El Nino occurs in the Atlantic
Ocean near the equator.
False

winds slowdown or stop
blowing.
True

El Nino can affect the climate
10 to 20 years.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?

Warm currents have a cooling
affect on coastal climate.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
Tropical climates exist at 30
degrees N & S of the equator.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
Polar climates can receive as
little precipitation as desert
climates.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
Three miles up into the Andes
Mountains is a polar climate
because of elevation.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
Temperate Zone climate has
very little fluctuation in
temperature throughout the
year.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
The desert climate gets the
most direct sunlight
throughout the year.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
A major Volcanic eruptions
and a meteor impact would
have similar affects on
climate.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
We are currently in an
interglacial period.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
The last ice age ended 1,000
years ago.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
Humans can cause an El Nino
climate change event.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
Continental drift does not
cause climate change.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
Global warming could create a
“mini” ice age.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
If the ocean conveyor belt
shuts down it would make
England and Northern Europe
a very cold place to live.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
The Coriolis effect causes the
surface currents to move
clockwise in the southern
hemisphere.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
In a world with no land (or
continents) there would be no
influence by the global winds
on surface currents.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
Deep currents move very fast
at the bottom of the ocean.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
The surface currents and the
deep currents rarely mix
because of their difference in
density
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
There are FIVE major ocean
gyres in the world oceans.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
All FIVE ocean gyres move
surface water in the same
direction.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
El Nino stops upwellings off
the coast of South America.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
El Nino causes flooding in
places like Peru and Southern
U.S.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
El Nino follows a cycle or
pattern of every 2-12 years.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
Temperate climates exist in
the mid latitudes.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
Increasing in elevation has a
similar affect on climate as
moving from the equator to
the poles.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
The further towards the
interior of a continent (away
from the oceans) the greater
the temperature variations.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
Low pressure air rising from
the surface is what creates
deserts at approx. 30 degrees
N and S latitude.
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
Freshwater from ice melt on
Greenland could shut down
the ocean conveyor belt.
True
TRUE OR FALSE?
Freshwater shuts down the
ocean conveyor belt because it
is able to sink to the deep
ocean.
False
