Longwave Radiation
Give this one a try later!
Emitted by the Earth (mostly IR), also called Terrestrial Radiation.
Kinetic Energy
Give this one a try later!
Energy of motion. Anything that moves has kinetic energy.
Methane
,Give this one a try later!
- Makes up 0.0001% of atmosphere
- Beneficial: effective absorber of thermal radiation.
- Sources: coal mines, livestock, rice fields, gas pipelines.
Shortwave Radiation
Give this one a try later!
Emitted by the sun (UV, Visible, Near- IR), UV light is responsible for tanning
our skin and can lead to skin cancer.
When radiation interacts with an object, it can be (ART):
Give this one a try later!
1. Absorbed - the radiant energy ceases to be and goes into increasing the
energy of the absorbing molecule.
2. Reflected - the radiation is sent back out.
3. Transmitted - the radiation passes through (transparent).
What controls the temperature?

, - Latitude
- Land and water distribution
- Ocean currents
- Elevation
Evaporation
Give this one a try later!
Process in which a liquid becomes a gas.
Summer Solstice
Give this one a try later!
Begins June 21st
Deposition
Give this one a try later!
A process that occurs in subfreezing air when water vapor changes directly
to ice without becoming a liquid first.
How are clouds formed? (3 C's)
