How are tempature and thermal energy related?

1. tempature and thermal energy both measure the total kinetic energy in an object.
2. tempature is one factor that determines the thermal energy of an object.
3. thermal energy does not transfer from one object to another.
4. two objects with different amounts of thermal energy also have different tempatures.

Match the term with the corresponding definition. 1. mountains 2. geographic position 3. latitude 4. oceans 5. pressure 6. land vs. water a. affects temperature by influencing the seasonal range of solar intensity b. despite being at similar latitudes, continental locations have a larger seasonal range in temperature than waterfront locations c. local topography predict temperature and precipitation d. thinner air less able to hold heat makes climate colder e. sea surface temperature influences air temperature and evaporation rates f. affects temperature, moisture, and storm tracks
