The two types of heat recognized by meteorologists are:
latent heat and kinetic heat
sensible heat and conductive heat
latent heat and sensible heat
kinetic heat and radiative heat
In meteorological terminology, the primary difference between convection and advection is:
Convection represents vertical heat transfer and advection represents horizontal heat transfer
Convection represents surface heat transfer and advection represents upper atmosphere heat transfer
Convection represents upper atmosphere heat transfer and advection represents surface heat transfer
Convection represents horizontal heat transfer and advection represents vertical heat transfer
The wavelengths emitted by the earth are:
ultravilolet
longer than those emitted by the Sun
shorter than those emitted by the Sun
about the same length at those emitted by the Sun except when the Sun is experiencing sunspots.
The Earth’s land surfaces heat up more rapidly than water surfaces because -
more energy from the Sun falls on land than on water
land has a lower specific heat than water
sunlight penetrates to greater depths in land than in water
less of Earth’s surface is covered by land than by water
A major cause of convection in the atmosphere of Earth is
cold air rising
hot air falling
hot air moving east
hot air rising
There are four main processes in changing of phase, and they are
Melting
Boiling
Condensation
All the above
Latent heat is
the heat absorbed or released at a boiling process during a change of phase
the heat absorbed or released at a constant temperature during a change of phase
the heat absorbed or released at a constant temperature during a change of phase of 1 kg object
the heat absorbed or released by an object to increase or decrease its temperature by 1 degree Celcius
