Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.69 Atmosphere Ocean Energy Flow skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which explanation best traces atmosphere-ocean energy flow from sunlight to weather patterns?

AEvaporation removes energy permanently, so clouds cannot affect weather.

BWinds and currents move randomly without temperature, pressure, or density differences.

CSunlight heats land and water unevenly; evaporation stores energy in vapor; winds and currents redistribute energy; condensation helps form clouds and storms.

DSunlight heats only air; oceans and land do not store or transfer energy.

Solution & Explanation:The best explanation connects the whole system: uneven solar heating, storage in land and water, evaporation and condensation, moving air and water, and weather outcomes.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Use the process diagram. Four processes are labeled radiation, conduction, convection/current flow, and evaporation. Which pair most clearly moves energy along with moving matter in fluids?

AConduction through a solid and shadow formation

BRadiation and reflection only

CConvection/current flow and evaporation

DMagnetism and radioactive decay only

Solution & Explanation:Convection and currents move fluid matter that carries thermal energy. Evaporation moves water molecules from liquid to vapor, carrying energy into the atmosphere.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A class is designing a sensor network to study atmosphere-ocean energy flow along a coast. Which set of measurements is most useful?

AOnly the color of clouds in one photograph

BOnly the number of boats in the harbor

CSea-surface temperature, land temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, and current direction

DOnly the depth of the nearest road puddle

Solution & Explanation:Atmosphere-ocean energy flow involves coupled variables. Surface temperatures, humidity, winds, and currents help trace heat, water vapor, and moving fluids.
