Answers
1
Why doesn't Earth become hotter with time as the sun shines on it
The sun gives off less energy everyday
The greenhouse effect isn't strong enough to heat the planet
because its not hot enough
Earth sends back into space the amount of energy it receives
2
Solar radiation absorbed by Earth's surface is remitted as infrared radiation
False
True
3
Cooler air trapped beneath warmer air
temperature inversion
greenhouse effect
unstable air
stable air
4
This builds storm clouds as rapidly rising air cools
unstable air
temperature inversion
stable air
convection
5
This occurs when water changes state
latent heat
convection
radiation
visible light
6
Ultraviolet radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light
true
false
7
When the sun's energy reaches Earth, what occurs
more that 90% is reflected
It rains
about half of it is absorbed by Earth's surface
most is absorbed by clouds
8
The ozone layer is in the stratosphere
False
True
9
When ice melts it releases thermal energy
false
true
10
Energy transfer due to warm, rising air
green house gases
convection
conduction
latent heat
11
When warm air rises, thermal energy is transferred to the atmosphere by conduction
False
True
12
Energy transferred by electromagnetic waves
water vapor
radiation
visible light
condensation
13
Most energy that reaches Earth from the Sun is
infrared radiation
ultraviolet light
kinetic energy
Visible light
14
Air that moves upward near mountain ranges is
