Layers of the Atm.
Heat Transfer
Temperature Controls
Earth/Sun Relationship
100
This is the what the Atmospheric layers are based on.
What is Temperature?
100
This is the transfer of heat through matter by molecular activity.
What is Conduction?
100
This is the basic elements of weather and climate.
What is temperature?
100
This happens because Earth's position is relative to the sun continually as it travels around its orbit.
What is seasonsal changes?
200
This is the layer the Ozone is in.
What is the Stratosphere?
200
This is the transfer of heat by mass movement or circulation within a substance.
What is Convection?
200
These are the factors other than latitude that exert a strong influence on temperature (Name two).
What is heating of land and water, altitude, geographic position, cloud cover, and ocean currents.
200
This is 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night.
What is the Epuinox?
300
This is the FIRST layer of the Atmoshpere.
What is the Troposphere?
300
This occurs when electromagnetic waves bounce off an object.
What is Reflection?
300
This heats more rapidly to higher temperatures than water.
What is land?
300
This happens on June 21-22 each year the axis is such that the Northern Hemisphere is "leaning" 23.5 degrees towards the sun.
What is the summer solstice?
400
This is what the happens when the Altitude increases.
What is decrease of temperature?
400
This is what travels in all different directions from its source.
What is Radiation?
400
The fraction of total radiation that is reflected back by surface.
What is Albedo?
400
On December 21-22, the first day of winter, the Northern Hemisphere and leans 23.5 degrees away from the sun.
What is the winter soltice?
500
These are the three pauses.
What is the Mesopause, Stratopause, and the Tropopause?
500
These are the three mechanisms of energy transfer.
What is Conduction, Convection, and Radiation?
500
A line connecting points of epual temperatures.
What is isotherm?
500
On September 22-23, the first day of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.
What is autumnal equinox?
