Solar Radiation? Heat from the Sun
Earth's Axis? The imaginary line, on which the Earth rotates around

Hotter, the sea cools places down Are places FAR AWAY from the Sea hotter or colder?
A place's temperature Temperature of Air
High Places INLAND have (high/low/similar) Summer temperatures
Low Places INLAND have (high/low/similar) Winter temperatures
-6,5 degrees 1000m
Lower If a place is higher, will the temperature be higher or lower?
Land and oceans Where does Solar Radiation heat first?
Heat transfers unevenly Why is it colder the HIGHER UP you are?
18,5 degrees Celsius If the temperature of place X is 25 degrees Celsius. Calculate the temperature is its 1000 meters up?
Large masses of water, that constantly move What are ocean currents?
10km per hour How fast do ocean currents usually flow?
Wind, differences in temperatures, Earth's rotation The three main causes of ocean currents?
Hotter When water flows from near the Equator, is it hotter or colder?
Right Earth's rotation cause ocean currents to move to the left or right?
Cool air blows onto land and makes the land dry. Warm air helps create rain How do ocean currents effect temperature and rainfall?
Relief What's another way of saying 'Mountains'?
