Climate refers to the average condition of the atmosphere (weather pattern) of a place over a
day-to-day basis.
long period of time of usually over 30 years.
short period of time.
lone period of time of about 10 years.
Diurnal temperature range =
maximum daily temperature - minimum daily temperature
sum of mean hourly temperatures / 24 hours
maximum hourly temperature - minimum hourly temperature
sum of mean monthly temperatures / 12 days
How does latitude influence temperatures?
The lower the latitude, the lower the temperatures.
It does not influence temperatures.
The higher the latitude, the higher the temepratures.
The lower the latitude, the higher the temperatures.
Places near the equator have higher temperatures because
the solar energy travelled the shortest to reach the surface of places near the equator
they receive the highest angle of incidence of sun rays (solar energy)
the solar energy is most concentrated near the equator
all of the above
Why are the peaks of mountains cooler than the ground surface?
The longwave radiation from the sun gets reflected off the surface of the earth, and loses heat energy as it travels to higher altitudes. This results in lower temperatures.
There are less air molecules thus lower pressure at higher altitudes. This means less solar energy is absorbed, leading to lower temperatures.
There is less ground surface at higher altitudes, thus lesser solar energy absorbed, giving rise to lower temperatures.
All of the above.
During summer land absorbs heat faster, and during winter land loses heat faster, than the sea.
True
False
Maritime effect refers to how the seas and oceans regulate the air temperatures of coastal areas.
False
True
During summer, the sea absorbs heat ..
absorbs heat faster, thus the temperatures of coastal areas are generally hotter as compared to inland areas.
absorbs heat slower, thus the temperatures of coastal areas are generally cooler as compared to inland areas.
loses heat faster, thus the temperatures of coastal areas are generally cooler as compared to inland areas.
loses heat slower, thus the temperatures of coastal areas are generally warmer as compared to inland areas.
Study the Figure. Warsaw in Poland would experience the...
continental effect
maritime effect
global effect
windy effect
The diurnal temperature range in places with little or no clouds is
small because there is little temperature difference in the day and in the night
large because of very high temperatures in the day, and very low temperatures at night
small because the clouds help to reflect the heat in the day and in the night
large because in the day most solar energy can reach the earth's surface, and in the night heat radiated from the earth surface can escape.
