334 J. 2260 J. HOW MUCH?. Evaporation!. When does water gain the most energy?. When does water lose the most energy?. Condensation!. Make the pony wet…. Why does she shiver?. Water evaporating gains 2260 J / g of energy from her skin!.

334 J 2260 J HOW MUCH? Evaporation! When does water gain the most energy? When does water lose the most energy? Condensation!
Why does she shiver? Water evaporating gains 2260 J/g of energy from her skin!
Water’s high specific heat makes it a “heat reservoir”—a place on Earth’s surface to gain or store heat energy.
Water’s high specific heat makes it a “heat reservoir”—a place on Earth’s surface to gain or store heat energy. Locations near the ocean do not change temperature easily. Oceans moderate temperature of the land.
Why are average temperatures different? Montauk, NY White Plains, NY
Same latitude = same insolation. VERY different temperatures! Pierre, SD White Plains, NY
Colder winters and hotter summers far from ocean. Pierre, SD Why? White Plains, NY
The map shows the locations of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Springfield, Missouri. Virginia Beach experiences cooler summers and warmer winters than Springfield because Virginia Beach (1) is located closer to the Atlantic Ocean (2) is located closer to the equator (3) has a greater average yearly duration of insolation (4) has a greater average yearly intensity of insolation
Convection transports heat energy from ocean to atmosphere. Ocean currents move heat energy around Earth’s surface.
Chile’s coast is cooler than Brazil’s coast. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Antofagasta, Chile
Which ocean current transports warm water away from Earth’s equatorial region? (1) Brazil Current (3) Falkland Current (2) Guinea Current (4) California Current
