Chapter 7 Currents And Climate
Test Description: Chapter 7 comprehensive test covers energy, heat, currents and climate
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) When the air above water gets cold, what happens to water molecules?
A
The molecules slow down and move closer together, increasing the water’s density.
B
The water’s volume increases as molecules move closer together.
C
The water molecules evaporate, decreasing the water’s density.
D
The denser water floats on top of the chilled water.
2) Compared with surface currents, deep currents are
A
colder and less dense
B
colder and denser
C
warmer and denser
D
warmer and less dense
3) Surface currents are caused by
A
the wind
B
floods
C
the equator
D
warm water
4) As water gets denser, how does it move?
A
gets pushed toward the poles
B
expands toward warmer water
C
gets pulled up by evaporation
D
sinks toward the ocean floor
5) How do warm-water currents affect the coastal areas along which they flow?
A
They create greater rainfall along the coast.
B
They create unusually warm climates for the latitude.
C
They make the coastal climate cooler than the inland climate.
D
They create unusually cool climates for the latitude.
6) Which currents carry warm water away from the equator?
A
freezing
B
surface currents
C
evaporation
D
deep currents
7) The density of ocean water increases when it
A
gets colder
B
gets warmer
C
joins the Gulf Stream
D
turns to ice
8) Why are surface currents warmer than deep currents?
A
The boats in the ocean heat up the surface
B
The water is absorbing the lands heat all the time making it warmer
C
Underwater volcanoes heat the surface of the water
D
The sun warms the water during the day, which causes the surface to get warmer.
9) Water that falls to Earth as rain, sleet, snow, or hail is called what?
A
condensation
B
evaporation
C
transpiration
D
precipitation
10) Water vapor enters the atmosphere by what process?

condensation
B
precipitation
C
evaporation
D
transpiration

A
current
B
salinity
C
surface current
D
Coriolis effect
13) A measure of the amount of dissolved salts or solids in a liquid
A
Coriolis effect
B
current
C
surface current
D
salinity
14) A large stream of moving water that flows through the oceans.
A
Coriolis effect
B
salinity
C
surface current
D
current
15) A change in the surface water temperature in the Pacific Ocean that produces a warm current.
