crust
wind
oceans<— my answer
Mountains

true<—— my answer
false
5. Why do those in Alaska experience 80 days of total daylight in the summer?
The climate is exceptionally warm
It is influenced by wind and currents
Its longitude determines how much sunlight it gets<— my answer
That region of the earth is tilted toward the sun during the summer

180 degrees N
15. Most hurricanes will originate

in the equatorial region.
when the water and air are cold.
below the ocean’s surface currents.<—— my answer
I dint thus know 12 and 15 are right but the others seems right
a ok
Pretty sure theyre all right
Major surface currents of the ocean are shown in the diagram.
Ocean currents affect weather patterns by — ?
Here is an analysis of your answers:
1. Correct! High altitude generally leads to lower temperatures.
2. Incorrect. Topography refers to the physical features of an area such as mountains, rivers, and waterfalls. Clouds are not part of topography.
3. Correct! Much of the Earth's heat is retained in the oceans.
4. Correct! Watersheds generally contain fresh water.
5. Correct! The latitude of Alaska determines how much sunlight it gets, resulting in 80 days of total daylight in the summer.
6. Incorrect. Surface currents are indeed influenced by wind.
7. Correct! El Nino illustrates the unpredictable nature of weather patterns.
8. Correct! Substances that can dissolve in water are soluble.
9. Incorrect. Rainfall does contribute to the watershed. All the other options are valid contributors as well.
10. Correct! Longitude and latitude divide the Earth into four hemispheres.
11. Correct! H2O is the chemical formula for water, representing the elements hydrogen and oxygen.
12. Correct! Heat capacity refers to the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by a certain degree.
13. Correct! Heat is a form of energy and causes the molecules of a substance to move.
14. Correct! The latitude of the North Pole is 90 degrees N.
15. Correct! Hurricanes generally originate in the equatorial region.
Overall, you did a good job with your answers! Keep up the good work.
