Question
9. The law of energy conservation implies that the solar radiation received by Earth is the infrared energy Earth radiates to space. A) greater than; B) less than; C) equal to; D) 10 times; E) never equal to. 10. In absorption, incoming solar radiation striking a surface is converted to energy. A) electric; B) heat; C) atomic; D) seismic; E) potential. What is the main reason for global circulation and the poleward transport of heat energy? A) atmospheric pressure differences from place to place; B) Earth's revolution about the sun; C) air mass subsidence: D) unequal solar heating over Earth's surface; counterclockwise rotation. E Earth's 12. Which of the following natural surfaces would you expect to have the highest albedo? 4) grassland; B) bare soil: C) tropical rain forest; D) Arctic Ocean sea ice; E) ocean water 13. The crest-to-crest distance between two successive waves of electromagnetic radiation is called: A) frequency: B) wave action; C) wavelength; D) a spectrum; E) bandwidth.Explanation / Answer
greater then energy radiated back to the space. This is because part of the energy is used in the process of photosynthesis and for heating the water on the earth.
2. heat. Due to this the earth surface becomes hot.
3. unequal solar heating over Earth’s surface.
4.Arctic Ocean sea ice. It is the measure of the diffuse reflection of solar radiation out of the total solar radiation received by an astronomical body. Ocean ice has second highest albedo of 0.5-0.7.
