absorb
radiate(give off)
low
The different specific heats listed on your ESRT p.1 explain why
materials change temperature at different rates

more
longer
Sea breeze in the day time → wind blows from _____ pressure (over water) to _____ pressure (over land). The breeze _____ at night.
high
low
reverses
Insolation is a contraction of three words:
INcoming SOLar radiATION
Earth receives almost all of its energy from ______ _______
the sun
Major greenhouse gasses are ______ ________, ________, ________ _______, which absorb outgoing __________ radiation from Earth
carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor
infrared
At night, Earth _________ heat back into space as ________ energy
radiates
infrared
Darker, rough surfaces ________ more sunlight than ______, __________ __________
absorb
lighter, smoother surfaces
Sunlight/insolation can interact with the earth in 4 different ways:
Refraction – bending of light rays
Absorption – absorbs light rays
Reflection – reflects light rays (smooth, light colored surfaces)
Scatter - scatters light rays
Areas of earth receiving direct, more intense sunlight/insolation will have _______ temperatures (angles of insolation → equator vs poles)
higher
Amounts of insolation/sunlight vary depending on:
latitude (North Pole vs Equator)
time of year (December vs June)
time of day (morning vs noon)
The temperature of a substance ______ ______ change during a phase change
does not
(latent energy - as indicated on a graph by a flat line)
______ energy is energy of movement and is indicated on a graph by a change in temperature
Kinetic
Phase changes
solid to liquid = melting
liquid to gas = evaporation/vaporization
gas to liquid = condensation
liquid to solid = freezing
