| A | B |
|---|
| refraction | when light is bent |
| conduction | how energy is transferred through a solid |
| convection | fluid and gas energy movement/circular motion |
| radiation | energy moving and tranferring heat in an open space |
| evaporation | latent heat from fluid or gas escaping |
| 5 ways solar energy is transferred in our atmosphere through short waves | Reflected, Refracted, Diffused, Absorbed, Transmitted |
| 4 ways Energy leaving our atmosphere in the form of long waves | 1) Evaporation, 2) Convective Transfer, 3) Greenhouse Effects, 4) Direct heat lost to space |
| reflection | more clouds, more reflection |
| Greenhouse Effect is produced by | trapped bases (Carbon Dioxide) and heat cannot escape |
| energy surplus/defiicit | in certain places, more energy comes in than goes out (or more out than comes in) |
| Latitude energy surplus | Warmer Temps: Equator/tropics - up to 50 degrees latitude. |
| Latitude energy deficit | Cooler Temps: less coming in/ 50 to 90 degrees latitude |
| Net Radiation | what the atmosphere is left with after the energy enters/exits our atmosphere. This is what controls our temp |
| Temperature Lag | delay of maximum temp, because there's more coming in than going out. So the earth keeps absorbing. |
| Greenhouse Effect | Insolation short waves goes in, longwave can't get out |
| What produces greenhouse effect | carbon dioxide in atmosphere prevents the longwave radiation from leaving |
| Urban Heat Island | Albedo (how much is absorbed/reflected), Pollution, Air Circulation (can't move around buildings), Population (more people), Evolution (water can't reach soil) |
| shortwave reflection | clouds reflect shortwaves back to atmosphere |
| longwave reflection | some longwave energy returns to space and some radiates toward the surface. |
