2.The Earths axis of rotation makes an angle of ______ degrees from a line perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic.

3. Each time zone on Earth covers approximately _______ degrees of longitude.

4. Hotter objects emit shorter wavelength electromagnetic radiation than colder objects. (true or false)

5.Of the solar radiation entering the atmosphere, about ___ percent is reflected to space by clouds.

6.This form of heat energy transfer is least important when we talk about atmospheric circulation and wind.

a. conduction b.convection c. radiation d. latent heat transfer

7.Water vapor in the lower atmosphere can range from 1 to 4(true or false)

8.What of the following is the largest small circle?

Question 8 options:a. Arctic Circle b.International Date Line c.Tropic of Cancer d. Equator

9.On the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox the subsolar point is located at Question 9 options:

a.the Tropic of Cancer b.the Equator c.the Tropic of Capricon d.the Arctic circle

10. Which of the following is true?

a.The earth absorbs shortwave radiation from the Sun and emits energy as shortwave radiation

b.The Earth absorbs shortwave radiation from the Sun and emits energy as longwave radiation

c.The Earth absorbs longwave radiation from the Sun and emits as shortwave radiation

d.The Earth absorbs longwave radiation from the Sun and emits as longwave radiation

11.Which of the following demonstrates the unnatural, or man-made destruction of ozone?

a. A single O atom combines with an O2 molecule to form Ozone.

b. A ClO molecule gives up its O to another O from an O3.

c. An Ozone molecule absorbs UV radiation and splits into O2 and O.

d. A Cl atom reacts with an O3 molecule creating ClO and O2

Explanation / Answer

NO, Carbon dioxide mainly has an effect on longwave radiation. It absorbs longwave radiation and re-radiates it, some of it back downwards. This means carbon dioxide increases the amount of radiation going back down to the surface, and the surface has to warm up to compensate. 23 1/2 . Earth's axis is not perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic. If you drew a line perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic, the Earth's axis of rotation would be tilted, or inclined, at an angle of about 23 1/2 degrees with respect to the perpendicular line. 15. A polar view of the planet is roughly circular, that is, a total 360 degrees. There are about 24 hours in each day. Divide 360 by 24; the answer is 15, so there are 15 degrees of longitude in each time zone. True 29 a) conduction false, Water vapor accounts for roughly 0.25% of the atmosphere by mass. d, Equator c.the Tropic of Capricon c.The Earth absorbs longwave radiation from the Sun and emits as shortwave radiation d. A Cl atom reacts with an O3 molecule creating ClO and O2
