| Autominal Equinox | North - Sept 21-23; South - March 21-22 |
| Conducton | The transfer of heat through matter by molecular activity. Energy is transfered through collisions for one molecule to another. |
| Convection | The transfer of heat the movement of a mass or substance. It can take place only in fluids |
| environmental lapse rate | the rate of temperature decrease with increasing height in the troposphere |
| greenhouse effect | the transmission of short-wave solar radiation by the atmosphere coupled with the selective restrial radiation, especially by water vapor and carbon dioxide |
| infrared | radiation with wavelegnth 0.7-200 micrometers |
| isotherms | lines connecting points if equal temperature |
| Revolution/Rotation | earth's orbit of the sun/spinning of earth on its axis |
| Spring Equinox | North - March 21-22; South - September 21-23 |
| Equinox | Vertical rays of sunb directly over equator. lightness/darkness same at all latitudes |
| Solostice | vertical rays shine directly on tropic of cancer/capricorn ans represents day with shirtest/longest amount of sunlighth |
