F.5 GCE AS Geography - Unit 2.2d - Plenary

Which of the following factors influence the temperature of a place?

• Latitude

• Altitude

• Land-sea difference

• Ocean currents

• Aspect

Which of the following statements about 'Albedo' are correct?

• Albedo is the proportion of energy that is reflected back to the atmosphere.

• Albedo is the proportion of energy that is absorbed by the earth's surface.

• Snow cover has the highest albedo.

• Asphalt has a relatively lower albedo.

True or False:

The equator receives the most intense insolation during the spring equinox.

• True

• False

Warm ocean currents will bring...

• Higher precipitation

• Warmer temperatures in winter

• High possibility of having typhoons

• High possibility of having droughts

True or False:

Insolation is categorized as shortwave radiation.

• True

• False

True or False:

Only long wave radiation can be absorbed by greenhouse gases.

• True

• False

Why is there an energy deficit at higher latitudes?

(Reference: 9696/11/M/J/22)

• Smaller angle of the sun

• Less intense insolation at higher latitudes

• More higher-albedo surfaces such as ice caps at higher latitudes

• Incoming solar radiation is dispersed over a wider area
