heat energy stored or released during a phase change

Which of the following is true?

None of the choices were correct

Energy leaves the surface with the same angle and intensity

More heat energy is added to Earth at the equator because

the angle of insolation is more direct

Ice has a high albedo. This means

more incoming solar radiation is reflected

ruler
balance
12
What is latent heat
heat transfer that only takes place in liquids
heat energy transferred molecule to molecule
most effective method of heat transfer in the stratopshere
heat energy stored or released during a phase change
13
Lower albedo (5sec)
Increase heat transfer
Does not increase heat transfer
14

86.5
15
Which of the following is true?
Inland areas have warmer winters and cooler summers
Albedo is the amount of light absorbed by a surface
None of the choices were correct
Seasons are caused by Earths tilt as it rotates
16
What is reflection?
how much energy is absorbed
Energy leaves the surface with the same angle and intensity
Energy leaves the surface with many smaller and weaker rays
how much energy leaves a surface
17
Which season gives us the shortest number of daylight hours?
Fall
Winter
Spring
Summer
18
Why is there more heat lost from the poles?
ice has a high albedo
aurora lowers temperatures
currents move the heat to the equator
None of these: Earth is warmer at the pole
19
What is the most abundant gas in the atmospheres of both Mars and Venus?
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Ozone
Carbon Dioxide
20
Heat transferred due to rising and sinking currents due to differences in density.
solar radiation
infrared radiation
latent heat
convection
21
Which season would have the sun's rays directly on the Tropic of Cancer?
Fall
Summer
Spring
Winter
22
Thinner clouds (5sec)
Do not increase heat transfer
Increase heat transfer
23
Which is an example of weather?
Today it is cloudy and humid
Phoenix is warm and dry
The lowest temperature recorded was -57 degrees
Average temperatures in March are 15 degrees
24
What are the two most abundant gasses in earth's atmosphere?
Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide
Ozone and Oxygen
Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen
Nitrogen and Oxygen
25
More heat energy is added to Earth at the equator because
the angle of insolation is more direct
water absorbs more heat than land
evaporation adds latent heat to the atmosphere
26
Because of the greenhouse effect . . . . .
Earth stays warmer at night
We have day and night
Less UV radiation reaches the surface of Earth.
Global climate zones are shifting
27
Find the density if the mass is 40 g and the volume is 20 mL.
20 mL/g
2 g/mL
2 mL/g
20 g/mL
28
The Earth's atmosphere is divided in layers based on this.
Temperature
Density
Altitude
29
Ice has a high albedo. This means
energy is stored and released more efficiently with ice
more incoming solar radiation is absorbed
more incoming solar radiation is reflected
it takes more energy to change the temperature of water
