Advection (heat transfer mechanism)

Front

Horizontal transfer of heat

Back

Is the meridian a great circle?

Front

No half of a great circle. It takes 2 meridians to make a great circle.

Back

How does cloud cover affect daily temperature ranges?

Front

Reduces them

Back

Convection ( heat transfer mechanism)

Front

vertical transfer of heat

Back

Conduction (heat transfer mechanism)

Front

transfer of heat by direct contact

Back

66 1/2 degrees North

Front

June 22 sun will not set December 22 the sun will not rise (Arctic circle)

Back

How many time zones are there?

Front

24 time zones

Back

What happens when you cross the dateline going East or West?

Front

East: Full day earlier West: Full day later

Back

A temperature scale where 100 degrees is the boiling point of water?

Front

Celsius

Back

Where is the distance around the earth the greatest?

Front

Equator

Back

How is the earth axis tilted?

Front

23 1/2 degrees away from the line that is drawn perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic

Back

Radiation (Heat transfer mechanism)

Front

emission of an electromagnetic wave of energy through space.

Back

What direction do isotherms generally run?

Front

East West

Back

Understand annual and daily temperature lags.

Front

Maximum temp lags behind maximum insulation on a daily basis. 4 hours on an annual basis 4-6 weeks.

Back

23 1/2 degrees South

Front

The southern limit of the sun's vertical rays, the sun would be overhead on December 22 ( Tropica of Capricorn)

Back

What is the lowest layer of the atmosphere?

Front

Troposphere

Back

What is the most important greenhouse gas?

Front

CO2

Back

How wide are time zones?

Front

15 degrees of longitude

Back

Is every degree of longitude equal all over the globe?

Front

No, 60 miles only at the equator and decreases as you move towards the poles

Back

what is the circle of illumination?

Front

A line that separates the light from the dark half of the eath.

Back

Where are you likely to find large or small average annual temperature ranges?

Front

In the middle of land masses or over water at the equator

Back

What would happen if the speed of the Earth's rotation or revolution increased?

Front

Day and Night would be shorter also more days in a year.

Back

How many degrees does the earth rotate per hour?

Front

15 degrees

Back

90 degrees North and South

Front

6 months light and 6 months dark (North and South pole)

Back

66 1/2 degrees South

Front

December 22 sun will not set June 22 the sun will not rise ( Antarctic circle)

Back

what is the difference between the normal lapse rate and the adiabatic lapse rate?

Front

The normal lapse rate has no vertical movement of air. The adiabatic lapse rate air is going up and down.

Back

Solar radiation received at the earths surface is what?

Front

Insolation

Back

Aphelion

Front

Position when furthest from the sun (July)

Back

How many days's does it take for the earth to complete one revolution?

Front

365 1/4 days

Back

June 22 and December 22

Front

Solstice

Back

What heats and cools more rapidly, land or water?

Front

Land

Back

Formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius

Front

F: 1.8c (C)+ 32 =? C: (F)-32 / 1.8 =? F Ex: 23 degrees C 1.8c (23c) + 32 = 73 Degrees F C Ex: 57 degreees F (57F) - 32 /1.8 = 14 degress C

Back

What is a temperature inversion?

Front

Warmer as you go up
