○ lakes
○ oceans
○ rivers
6 multiple choice 2 points
which two terms are used to describe weather?
○ wind direction and amount of erosion
○ gravity and amount of rain
○ groundwater and cloud cover
○ air temperature and wind speed

Explanation:

• Question 4: The Gulf Stream is a well - known warm ocean current. It has a significant impact on the weather along the east coast of the United States. Warm air masses (first option) are not ocean currents. The Gulf Stream is warm, not cold (third option).
• Question 5: Oceans contain the vast majority of Earth's water. Glaciers, lakes, and rivers hold only a small fraction compared to the oceans.
• Question 6: Weather is described by elements such as air temperature and wind speed. Erosion (first option) is a geological process, gravity (second option) is a fundamental force not a typical weather - describing term, and groundwater (third option) is related to subsurface water, not weather.

Answer:

1. a warm ocean current that influences weather along the east coast of the United States
2. oceans
3. air temperature and wind speed
