11. Infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation make up most of the energy Earth
receives from the sun.
12. Clouds that form near the ground are called fog.
13. Water molecules in liquid water escape into the atmosphere as water vapor in the
process called evaporation.
14. The instrument used to measure wind speed is a thermometer.
15. Energy from the sun with the shortest wavelengths are called infrared radiation.
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW:
1. Be able to make a bar graph from a table of data.
2. Be ready to show your visualizations from the chapter and explain the visuals.
ESSAYS TO PREPARE:
1. What causes the greenhouse effect? How does it affect Earth’s atmosphere?
2. Please describe what a local wind is? Global wind is? Monsoon is?
3. Why are deserts usually found on the leeward side of mountain ranges?
4. List and explain the three types of heat transfer.
5. Explain the water cycle in detail starting with heat from the sun.
6. List the order of energy from the sun from longest wavelength to shortest
wavelength. (Infrared radiation, UV radiation, visible light) Please give one fact
about each type of energy.
