METR 1102 Final Exam Questions And
Answers 100% Pass
What is weather - ANS The condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place.
What is climate - ANS the average weather in an area over a long period of time
What is earth's atmosphere made of - ANS Nitrogen (78%) , Oxygen (21%), Other gases (1%)
What is the difference between constant and variable gases - ANS Constant gases are always
the same % no matter he circumstance while variable gases can change %
Dominant gases: Nitrogen & Oxygen (constant)
Water vapor & CO2 (variable)
What have CO2 concentrations done over the last 150 years - ANS they have increased
because of fossil fuels and deforestation
What is ozone? Where is it found? What does it do that benefits us? - ANS good ozone is in
the stratosphere and blocks UV radiation and bad ozone is near the surface and is human made
What is an aerosol? - ANS A suspension of solid or liquid particles in gas
Ex:dust

vertical structure of the atmosphere - ANS troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere,
thermosphere
lowest two layers in the atmosphere - ANS Troposphere- temp decreases w/ height
Stratosphere- temp increases w/ height (ozone)
geostationary satellites - ANS A satellite that orbits the earth at the same rate that the earth
rotates and thus remains over a fixed place above the equator.
kenetic energy - ANS energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.
atoms/molecules have KE
potential energy - ANS Energy that is stored and held in readiness
Warm vs cold air - ANS warm air expands and cold air compresses
Fahreheit, celsius, and Kelvin - ANS F, K= C+273, C= (5/9)(F-32)
what are heat capacity and specific heat - ANS heat energy absorbed(capacity), heat capacity
per unit mass (SH)
What has a higher specific heat, land or water? - ANS water
latent heating - ANS Transport of heat from one place to another within the atmosphere as a
consequence of phase changes of water. Heat is supplied for melting, evaporation, and
sublimation of water at the Earth's surface, and heat is released during freezing, condensation,
and deposition within the atmosphere.
