JEG100 Question and answers correctly
solved
thermopause - correct answer ✔outer boundary of Earth's energy system
solar constant - correct answer ✔average insolation received at the
thermopause when Earth is at its average distance from the Sun (constant =
1372 W/m^2)
insolation - correct answer ✔Solar radiation that is incoming to Earth
systems.
equinox - correct answer ✔September 22-23; when incoming solar energy
are equal in both hemispheres
subsolar point - correct answer ✔the place on earth where the Sun is directly
over head; between 23.5°N (tropic of cancer) and 23.5°S (tropic of Capricorn)
Electromagnetic waves - correct answer ✔synchronized oscillations of
electric and magnetic fields moving at the speed of light
Stefan-Boltzmann Law - correct answer ✔describes the energy (W/m^2)
radiated from a black body in terms of its temperature (Kelvin).
Wien's Displacement Law - correct answer ✔λ = constant (2898
μmk)/Temperature
Milankovitch cycles - correct answer ✔describe the effect of slight changes
in the Earth's orbit on Earth's climate
