Science Earth and Space Test 7 part 2

The Stratopause:

• Marks the bottom of the Troposphere

• Marks the bottom of the Mesosphere

• Marks the top of the Stratosphere

Conduction is:

• The transfer of heat through empty space

• The direct transfer of heat from one substance to another substance that it is touching

• The transfer of heat through fluid movement

Trade winds are named because:

• They blow in unpredictable patterns

• They consistently allowed ships to make a quick passage across the ocean

• They primarily occur near mountains

During the day:

• Water heats faster than land

• Water heats slower than land

• Water and land heat at the same rate

Cosmic rays:

• Cause the plasma in the ionosphere

• Are unrelated to the ionosphere

• Only affect the magnetosphere

The Van Allen radiation belts are:

• Layers of the atmosphere

• Doughnut-shaped regions surrounding the Earth containing charged particles trapped by the Earth's magnetic field

• Regions found only in the Exosphere

Unequal heating:

• Causes convection currents on a global scale at the equator and poles

• Has no effect on convection currents

• Only occurs in the Troposphere

Conduction is the form of heat transfer that:

• Heats cool air in contact with warm ground

• Transfers heat through radiation

• Only occurs in fluids

Insolation is:

• Heat energy stored in the Earth's core

• The solar energy that reaches a planet

• A type of heat transfer
