At the equator, sunlight is most intense. That's because the sun's rays strike Earth in a (curved-direct) line.

The sun keeps Earth warm. It (does-doesn't) heat all parts of Earth evenly.

At the North and South poles, these rays strike at a sharp angle, meaning that the same amount of solar energy is (concentrated on a smaller-spread out over a larger) area. This makes the poles colder than the equator.

What has the highest albedo?

Huge circuits of air that rise at the equator, drop at the tropics, and move back towards the equator

The surface winds of the Hadley cell

______ causes deep ocean currents

Nutrients are brought to the surface for phytoplankton to use at _______.

Gyres in the northers hemisphere are surface currents that turn _________ due to the Coriolis Effect.

During an El Nino, trade winds are typically...

The picture below is of a(n) ____ event.

The picture represents a(n) ___ event.

El Niño ___________________ the trade winds causing the warm pool to move ___________.

When La Nina and hurricanes pull cold water to the surface and bring nutrient rich sediments from the seafloor, this is called ___________________.
