FINAL
Atmospheric Heating
Of the amount of the energy that
reaches earth, this percentage is
absorbed by earth’s surface
What is 50%?
Atmospheric Heating
The total amount of the Sun’s
released energy that reaches our
planet.
What is about 2 billionths?
Atmospheric Heating
The energy from this drives the
weather cycle.
What is the Sun?
Atmospheric Heating
Virtually all of the energy that
reaches our planet comes from
here
What is the Sun?
Atmospheric Heating
Radiation that reaches Earth does
either this or that
What are absorption and reflection?
Heating Transfer
This type of heat transfer moves
in circles through air and water
What is convection?
Heat Transfer
Energy as heat passes through a
material
What is thermal conduction?
Heat Transfer
When energy is transferred
through electromagnetic waves
What is radiation?
Heat Transfer
This transfer heats air directly
next to the earth’s surface.
What is thermal conduction?
Heat Transfer
Currents created in air are caused
by rising warm air and sinking
cool air
What is convection?
Climate Change
These atmospheric gases trap
enough heat for life on Earth.
What are greenhouse gases?
Climate Change
The ratio of energy coming into
the atmosphere vs. the energy
going out of the atmosphere.
What is the radiation balance?
Climate Change
a gradual increase in average global
temperature thought to be caused by
deforestation, burning of fossil fuels,
and industrial pollution.
What is climate change or global
warming?
Climate Change
Scientists use these arctic samples
to study the atmosphere from the
past
What are ice core samples?
Climate Change
This expression describes how radiation
transfers to thermal energy in the
atmosphere and on Earth, then is trapped
by gases in the atmosphere.
What is the greenhouse effect?
Labs: S. Angle/E. Materials
The reason the equatorial region
(tropics) are warmer than the
polar region?
What is solar angle?
Labs: S. Angle/E. Materials
This earth material was quickest
to heat and quickest to cool.
What is air?
DAILY DOUBLE – Labs!
A cool and fresh breeze that
blows in from the sea while you
tan on a hot beach.
What is a sea breeze?
Labs: S. Angle/E. Materials
This earth material was slowest to
heat and slowest to cool.
What is water?
Labs: S. Angle/E. Materials
A term that describes how the
amount of solar energy decreases as
you move away from the equator.
What is beam spreading?
CCR
Your feet burn when you walk
out onto a black road on a hot
summer day.
What is conduction?
CCR
The reason the blacktop gets hot
on a sunny day.
What is radiation?
CCR
The reason that the best place to
put a space heater is at floor level.
What is convection?
CCR
Water molecules circulate while
boiling in a pot.
What is convection?
CCR
A burger is frying on one side in
a pan.
What is conduction?
