25
Why does the Thermosphere change temperature?
Thermal reaction creates an increase in temperature
As you go away from the energy source you lose temp
Increase in solar radiation creates an increase in temp
26
All of these are GHGs EXCEPT
Methane
Carbon Dioxide
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrogen
27
What is albedo?
the amount of sunlight received
how well an object radiates light
how well an object reflects light
how well an object absorbs light
28
Why does the Troposphere change temperature?
Thermal reaction creates an increase in temperature
As you go away from the energy source you lose temp
Increase in solar radiation creates an increase in temp
29
As you go up in altitude, what happens to the temperature in the troposphere?
temperature increases
temperature stays the same
temperature decreases
30
Cities X&Y are at same lat. Why does X experience a greater temp difference?
City Y is by water
City X has greater solar insolation
City Y has greater solar insolation
City X is by water
31
Why does the stratosphere change temperature?
Increase in solar radiation creates an increase in temp
As you go away from the energy source you lose temp
Thermal reaction creates an increase in temperature
