Which is not true? Question 1 options: Cold currents cause nearby coastlines to be colder. Warm currents cause nearby coastlines to be warmer. Oceans move more slowly than wind. Oceans hold more heat than atmosphere on land. Currents are made by wind blowing over the water.

Answer:

Currents are made by wind blowing over the water.

Explanation:

Currents created by wind are formed through the use of warm and cold air. The warm air becomes lighter through expansion, causing it to rise and transform into a warm air current. Cool air is heavier than the warm air, which makes it move to replace the warm air, thus forming a cool air current.

In short, currents are not made by wind blowing over water, but by the characteristics of warm and cool air acting on one another.

Additionally, the rest of the answers can easily be proven true.

Cold currents do cause nearby coastlines to become colder. This is because these winds blow into the coast and affect the temperature. The process also applies to warm air. Warm air can blow into the coastline and warm the area. (With this, both "Cold currents cause nearby coastlines to be colder," and "Warm currents cause nearby coastlines to be warmer," have been shown to be truthful.)

Oceans more more slowly than wind is also correct. The ocean is an uninterrupted surface which winds can peacefully blow across. This lack of disruption causes the winds to move quickly - much faster than even the ocean itself. The ocean('s) currents move slower than the winds. (Therefore, "Oceans move more slowly than wind," had been proven true.)

Oceans hold more heat than atmosphere on land has a simple explanation: the Sun. As we know, this humongous, fiery star we depend on for survival spreads its sunlight all over Earth. The oceans are no exception. The ocean(s) absorb(s) this sunlight and transform(s) it to heat and energy. Since water has a higher capacity for heat compared to air, it can store larger amounts of heat with less of a change in temperature (than air). (For that reason, "Oceans hold more heat than atmosphere on land," is indeed a factual statement.)

All of the options, apart from Currents are made by wind blowing over the water, have been proven true. With that being said, our answer is clear. (Hope this helps - have a lovely week!)

Answer:

currents are made by wind blowing over the water

Explanation:

In which direction does weather typically move? a. from east to west c. from north to south b. from west to east d. from south to north *this is the next question on the test and the answer is FROM WEST TO EAST*

Which of these describe a warm front?

Warm and cool air mass that are not strong enough to move one another

Cold air meets warm air, fast moving and stormy. Severe weather is likely.

Warm air meets cold air. Slow moving with less severe weather.

Ocean surface temperature is greater than 80F.

*these are the third question answers and there are no brainly answers online, so the answer to this one is, WARM AIR MEETS COLD AIR. SLOW MOVING WITH LESS SEVERE WEATHER.*

hope this helps :)
