Delphina and Oribus are the same distance from the equator, and they are both near the ocean. Using the information in the map, what is likely to be true about the air temperature of the two places? Why?

A) The air at Oribus is a the same as Delphina. Both locations are the same distance from the equator. The winds push the ocean water, and it turns to follow the coast past both locations, so the same amount of energy is transferred to the air.

B) the , same, as Delphina. Both locations are the same distance from the equator. The winds push the ocean water, and it turns to follow the coast past both locations, so the same amount of energy is transferred to the air.

C) warmer than Delphina. Moving air with a lot of energy turns and follows the coast toward Oribus; moving air with only a little energy turns and follows the coast toward Delphina.

D) warmer than Delphina. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Oribus and energy is transferred from the air to the ocean at Delphina. warmer, than Delphina. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. Energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Oribus and energy is transferred from the air to the ocean at Delphina.

E) warmer, than Delphina. The winds push ocean water that turns and follows the coasts. A lot of energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Oribus, and only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air at Delphina.

Answer:

At Luderitz, only a little energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Florianopolis, a lot of energy is transferred from the air to the ocean. ... 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.
