longitude - correct answer all great circles, run up and down
latitude - correct answer only great circle around equator, run east and west
equator - correct answer 0 degrees latitude, receives most solar radiation all year long
where does earth get almost all its energy from? - correct answer the sun
how does solar angle impact solar intensity? - correct answer the closer the angle is to 90 degrees the stronger
the solar intensity is, therefore tropics receive higher solar intensity than poles
UCLA GEOGRAPHY 1
what is earth's tilt currently at? - correct answer 23.5 degrees
what causes the seasons? - correct answer tilt, how the sun is angled towards each hemisphere
Planck's law - correct answer the shorter the wavelength the stronger the intensity (hotter)
radiative equilibrium - correct answer the point at which earth emits the same amount of radiation that it
receives
greenhouse effect - correct answer CO2, H2O, CH4, N2O in the atmosphere that prevents shortwave radiation
from leaving the atmosphere and instead gets remitted back to earth
, conduction - correct answer the transfer of energy as heat through a material
convection - correct answer The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid, heat rising
latent heat flux - correct answer change of matter
sensible heat flux - correct answer direct transfer of heat
evaporation - correct answer Liquid to gas
condensation - correct answer Gas to liquid
how to change evaporation rate? - correct answer heat up
Clausius-Clapeyron relation - correct answer the warmer the object the more moisture it can hold
low density of atmosphere - correct answer warm temperatures, rising air
hadley cell - correct answer winds converge at ITCZ with warm ocean, evaporation occurs and rises (creates lots
of cloud coverage) wind moves air to poles and subsides at around 30 degrees as hot and dry
sea breeze - correct answer winds originating over sea
Coriolis effect - correct answer spin of earth that causes winds to deflect to the right in N hemisphere and to
the left in S hemisphere
cyclonic flow - N hemisphere - correct answer against corolis, counterclockwise, against a system of low
pressure
