The amount of energy incoming from the sun that reaches the EARTH's surface
Albedo
Insolation
Energy Budget
Sensible Heat Transfer
The proportion of heat reflected back into the atmosphere
Long wave radiation
Sensible Heat Transfer
Insolation
Albedo
Most long wave radiation is lost:
At night when it is cloudless
During a sunny cloudless day
At night when it is rainy
Dependent upon the albedo of surfaces
During the night, water vapor close to the surface can condense to form water.
Latent heat transfer
Dew
Condensation
All of the above
The main difference between mist and fog is
visibility
air temperature
amount of dew on the ground
amount of clouds in the sky
Which of the following about mist or fog?
cloud at ground level
atmospheric instability
dust or salt must be present in the air
more common in coastal areas
This happens when there are calm conditions and high pressure. The movement of air causing cold and warm air to mix and affects the air quality causing air pollutants to stay close to the Earth's surface.
dew
temperature inversion
advection fog
radiation fog
Which hemisphere has the most intense pressure variations thus greater seasonal contrasts?
Northern
Southern
Eastern
Western
Permanent high pressure belts are located where?
Polar regions
Subtropical regions near equator
Northern hemisphere
in South east Asia
A band a few hundred kilometers wide in which winds from the tropics blow inwards, converge and then rise forming an area of low-pressure
equatorial pressure zone
subtropical pressure zone
inter-tropical convergence zone
polar pressure zone
When the seasonal winds shift in the summer, Asia experiences
Hurricanes
Monsoons
Drought
High pressures variants
Which of the following are influences on temperature?
distance from the ocean
latitude
pressure zones
humidity
The amount of water in the atmosphere is
absolute humidity
relative humidity
DALR
SALR
Atmospheric conditions associated with rising air, low pressure conditions , cloud formation, rain and wind
stability
monsoon
instability
frontal rain fall
Which of the following are effects of increased global temperatures?
4 billion people suffering from water shortages
extinction of up to 40% of species of wildlife
200 million people exposed to hunger
35% drop in crop yeilds
Which of the following contributes to the Urban heat island effect?
Building have a high thermal capacity
human activity such as transportation
The addition of green spaces within the city
the composition of the atmosphere involving the blanketing effect of smog, smoke or haze
A world agreement to help combat Global Warming
World Climate agreement
NAFTA
Chicago plan
Paris Accord
Occurs when winds have passed over mountains moving clouds away and making rain unlikely
rain shadow
radiation fog
frontal rain
relative humidity
Winds move with the rotation of the planet, this is known as the
radiation fog
rain shadow effect
Coriolis
Effect
intertropical convergence zone
Which of the following is a greenhouse gas?
water vapour
Co2
Nitrogen
CFCs
methane
