Explanation / Answer

1) perigee

orbit of moon around earth is an ellipse with earth at one of the foci, so it will have two points where moon is farthest known as apogee and closest to earth known as perigee.

2) false

solar radiation is a combination of electromagnetic waves with different wavelengths, and the molecules with in the atmosphere absorb energy from different wavelengths, in the case of ozon, it absorbs ultraviolet radiations and which increase the heat in this region in the stratosphere, in this way the absorption of solar radiation is differ.

3)cold

the cold ocean current called kamchatka current is flowing along this region, so the water will appears cold.

4) soil and rock

the specific heat of water is high so more energy will need to rise the temperature, but in the case of soil and rock, it will heat up immediately and cools fast, so the largest temperature will occur for soil and rock

5) absorption

when earths surface heats up due to the solar radiation, it emits long wavelength radiation and this waves are absorbed by the green house gases in the atmosphere, it leads to the heating up of atmosphere. so the green house effect is a function of absorption.

6) orbital motion

as the energy of wave pass through the water, it makes the water particle to move in orbital motion, this orbital diameter and energy decreases with depth

7) crest

crestt is a point on the wave where maximum upward movement is takeplace, trough is the opposit of this, which is the maximum downward movement in the wave.
