|
The passage of shortwave and longwave energy through the atmosphere is called refraction.
|
 |
| 2 . |
|
Surfaces with high albedo reflect more light than those with low albedo.
|
 |
| 3 . |
|
Energy is transferred from low latitudes to high latitudes by advection.
|
 |
| 4 . |
|
Emmissions of sulpher dioxide may offset some of the effects of greenhouse warming by increasing albedo.
|
 |
| 5 . |
|
Naturally occuring carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is responsible for the greenhouse effect.
|
 |
| 6 . |
|
Urban heat islands result from the fact that metal, glass, concrete, and other construction materials reflect more insolation than do natural vegetation and soil.
|
 |
| 7 . |
|
Most energy emitted by the Earth's surface is absorbed by the atmosphere.
|
 |
| 8 . |
|
The largest portion of solar energy entering the atmosphere is reflected by clouds and is lost to the earth/atmosphere system.
|
 |
| 9 . |
|
Insolation is absorbed by atmospheric gases, dust, clouds, and statospheric ozone, as well as by land and water surfaces.
|
 |
| 10 . |
|
In the natural radiation balance between earth and the atmosphere, nonradiative transfers of energy occur by convection, conduction, and latent heat of evaporation.
