Albedo Ability of a surface to reflect light saturation point The maximum amount of water vapor in the air at a given temperature. adiabatic cooling the cooling effect of reduced pressure on air ...

APES unit 4: Earth Systems & resources fully solved 2024Which of the following best describes why understanding a watershed and its boundaries is important in designing housing developments along a river? - correct answer Surface water and stormwater runoff will drain downstream within the watershed boundaries, so it's important to understand the flow of the water through the watershed. Which of the following should be included in a watershed map to best determine the non-point source of a ...

AQA Geography GCSE the Living World (2022/2023) Graded A+ Ecosystems A natural system made up of plants, animals and the physical environment. There are complex interrelationships between the biotic (living) and the abiotic (non-living) components. Living Components (Biotic) Plants, animals, producers, carnivores, herbivores. Non-Living Components Climate, temperature, rainfall, soil, water, water temperature, light levels. Producers Convert energy (by photosynthesis) from the sun into gluco...

Precipitation - ANSWER-the input to our hydrologic cycle lapse rates - ANSWER-Rates at which air cools and warms. Ideal Gas Law - ANSWER-PV=nRT; predicts that air temp drops at high elevations because air pressure is lower cold air: - ANSWER-holds less water vapor than warm air saturation vapor pressure - ANSWER-Maximum amount of water air will hold (warm air hold more water than cold air) saturated vapor pressure = actual vapor pressure at - ANSWER-15 degrees C General Atmosph...

The Hydrologic Cycle (water cycle) Three principal factors control global water deficits and surpluses: - correct answer Global atmospheric circulation (coriolis effect) Proximity to water sources Topography Role of oceans as a water source - correct answer 97% of water is in the ocean Where water is found: - correct answer Glaciers Groundwater/aquifers Infiltration/percolation - correct answer process of water moving through the soil and into fractures and permeable rocks Zo...

ISB 201 EXAM 4 TEST Which explains the cause for a decrease in CO2 in the atmosphere during Earth's early history? - photosynthesis Which of the following ranks the greenhouse gases in order from lowest to highest Global Warming Potential. - CO2, Methane, CFC's Which of the following is/are accurate with regards to the Albedo effect? - greater at higher latitudes due to the angle of the sunlight hitting Earth and influences the amount of light is transformed into heat Which of ...

Science Olympiad Meteorology Exam Questions And Answers air mass - answera huge body of air that has similar temperature, humidity, and air pressure at any given height and a source region.

What is the source of almost all energy in the Earth system? - Answer-Solar Radiation (the sun) Explain the Earth's radiation balance at the top of the atmosphere. - Answer-Qin=Qout (incoming energy must equal outgoing energy) Explain the Earth's surface heat budget. What terms are the most important? - Answer-100 units of solar radiation at the top of the atmosphere, approximately 25% is reflected back to space, 25% is absorbed by the atmosphere, and 50% reaches Earth's surface. Of that...

Precipitation - the input to our hydrologic cycle lapse rates - Rates at which air cools and warms. Ideal Gas Law - PV=nRT; predicts that air temp drops at high elevations because air pressure is lower cold air: - holds less water vapor than warm air saturation vapor pressure - Maximum amount of water air will hold (warm air hold more water than cold air) saturated vapor pressure = actual vapor pressure at - 15 degrees C General Atmospheric Circulation - Global wind pattern mod...
