Major surface ocean currents flow in circular patterns called gyres. Ocean current gyres flow in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere, and flow in a counterclockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere. This pattern of circulation generally moves warm water from equatorial regions into the shallow waters along eastern continental coasts.

Use your graph to determine the latitude at which the Sun sets 7 hours after it rises. 52. Based on the data table, state the relationship between latitude and the duration of daylight.
21 53. Base your answer to the following question on the map and passage below. The map shows the outlines and ages of several calderas created as a result of volcanic activity over the last 16 million years as the North American Plate moved over the Yellowstone Hot Spot. A and B represent locations within the calderas. The Yellowstone Hot Spot The Yellowstone Hot Spot has interacted with the North American Plate, causing widespread outpourings of basalt that buried about 200,000 square miles under layers of lava flows that are a half mile or more thick. Some of the basaltic magma produced by the hot spot accumulates near the base of the plate, where it melts the crust above. The melted crust, in turn, rises closer to the surface to form large reservoirs of potentially explosive rhyolite magma. Catastrophic eruptions have partly emptied some of these reservoirs, causing their roofs to collapse. The resulting craters, some of which are more than 30 miles across, are known as volcanic calderas. Calculate, in miles per million years, the rate at which the North American Plate has moved over the Yellowstone Hot Spot between point A and point B.
22 Base your answers to questions 54 through 56 on the map below, which shows the generalized surface bedrock for a portion of New York State that appears in the Earth Science Reference Tables. 54. Identify the geologic age and name of the surface metamorphic bedrock found at Mt. Marcy. 55. State the longitude of Mt. Marcy, New York, to the nearest degree. The units and compass direction must be included in your answer. 56. Place an X on the map to represent a location in the Tug Hill Plateau landscape region.
23 Base your answers to questions 57 through 60 on the two maps and on your knowledge of Earth science. Both maps show data from a December snowstorm. Map 1 shows the snowfall, measured in inches, at various locations in New York State, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Map 2 shows weather conditions in New York State and the surrounding region during the storm. Letter L represents the center of the low-pressure system that produced the snowstorm. Isobars show air pressure, in millibars.
24 57. Toward which compass direction would this low-pressure center most likely have moved if this system followed a normal storm track? 58. Describe the general surface wind pattern around the low-pressure center shown on map Using map 2, complete the table by describing the weather conditions at Buffalo, New York. 60. Most residents knew this storm was coming. State one action a New York State resident should have taken to prepare for a snow emergency.
25 Base your answers to questions 61 and 62 on the diagram in your answer booklet, which shows the latitude-longitude grid on a model of Earth. Point Y is a location on Earth's surface. 61. What is Earth s rate of rotation at point Y, in degrees per hour? 62. On the diagram, place an X at 15 S 30 W.
26 Base your answers to questions 63 and 64 on the passage and map below, and on your knowledge of Earth science. The map shows ocean depths, measured in meters, off the coast of Massachusetts. Points A, B, and C represent locations on the ocean floor. The Stellwagen Bank discussed in the passage is lightly shaded and labeled on the map. The Stellwagen Bank One of the most exciting adventures for a visitor to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is going on a whale watch. Large boats leave port two to three times each day carrying passengers to a specific location in the Atlantic Ocean to see the whales. How do the captains of the boats know where to find the whales? The answer is simple. They look for the whales over an area known as the Stellwagen Bank, which is a large undersea deposit of unsorted sand and gravel. The Stellwagen Bank is inferred by scientists to have formed during the Pleistocene Epoch from the slow retreat of massive Ice Age glaciers across this area. Today, cool ocean currents come from the north and flow up and over the Stellwagen Bank. These currents bring nutrients to the surface from deep in the ocean, providing food for oceanic phytoplankton (small plants). Small ocean creatures and fish feed on the phytoplankton. Whales can be found in abundance at the Stellwagen Bank feeding on the many ocean life-forms.
27 63. Identify the most probable cold ocean current causing the upwelling of nutrients over the Stellwagen Bank. 64. Most whale watching takes place at 42 25' N and 70 25' W. On the map, place an X at this location.
