  1. True or False Review Game

  2. True or False? • The global winds influence surface currents • True

  3. True or False? • The Coriolis effect is caused by the spin of the earth • True

  4. True or False? • The Gulf Stream is a cold surface current. • False

  5. True or False? • The Gulf Stream is warm because it forms near the equator. • True

  6. True or False? • Deep ocean currents originate at the equator. • False

  7. True or False? • Warm water sinking at the poles causes a deep current. • False

  8. True or False? • When ocean water freezes at the poles the salt stays in the ocean making it higher in salt content. • True

  9. True or False? • Ocean gyres are made up of a warm current and a cold current. • True

  10. True or False? • An upwelling is cold deep ocean water rising to the surface. • True

  11. True or False? • Upwellings are NOT good places to fish because of the cold water. • False

  12. True or False? • El Nino occurs in the Atlantic Ocean near the equator. • False

  13. True or False? • El Nino occurs when the trade winds slowdown or stop blowing. • True

  14. True or False? • El Nino can affect the climate 10 to 20 years. • False

  15. True or False? • The climate of a location is determined by temperature and precipitation. • True

  16. True or False? • Warm currents have a cooling affect on coastal climate. • False

  17. True or False? • Tropical climates exist at 30 degrees N & S of the equator. • False

  18. True or False? • Polar climates can receive as little precipitation as desert climates. • True

  19. True or False? • Three miles up into the Andes Mountains is a polar climate because of elevation. • True

  20. True or False? • Temperate Zone climate has very little fluctuation in temperature throughout the year. • False

  21. True or False? • The desert climate gets the most direct sunlight throughout the year. • False

  22. True or False? • Humans can cause an El Nino climate change event. • False

  23. True or False? • The Coriolis effect causes the surface currents to move clockwise in the southern hemisphere. • False

  24. True or False? • In a world with no land (or continents) there would be no influence by the global winds on surface currents. • False

  25. True or False? • Deep currents move very fast at the bottom of the ocean. • False

  26. True or False? • The surface currents and the deep currents rarely mix because of their difference in density • True

  27. True or False? • There are FIVE major ocean gyres in the world oceans. • True

  28. True or False? • All FIVE ocean gyres move surface water in the same direction. • False

  29. True or False? • El Nino stops upwellings off the coast of South America. • True

  30. True or False? • El Nino causes flooding in places like Peru and Southern U.S. • True

  31. True or False? • El Nino follows a cycle or pattern of every 2-12 years. • True

  32. True or False? • Temperate climates exist in the mid latitudes. • True

  33. True or False? • Increasing in elevation has a similar affect on climate as moving from the equator to the poles. • True

  34. True or False? • The further towards the interior of a continent (away from the oceans) the greater the temperature variations. • True

  35. True or False? • Low pressure air rising from the surface is what creates deserts at approx. 30 degrees N and S latitude. • False
