TEMPERATURE AND HEATING CAP2

Question 1

CELSIUS TO FAHRENHEIT ? (SIMPLIFIED FORMULA)

Answer 1

FAHRENHEIT = 1.8 X C + 32

Question 2

FAHRENHEIT TO CELSIUS? (SIMPLIFIED FORMULA)

Answer 2

C = ( F-32) X 0.56

Question 3

HEIGHT above ground where THE TEMP IS MESURED?

Answer 3

4FT

Question 4

WHAT DEOS MEAN TO HAVE AN HIGH OR LOW ALBEDO?

Answer 4

IS THE PROPERTY OF AN OBJECT TO REFLECT RADIATION (HEAT) HIGH ALBEDO LIKE SNOW REFLECTSS ALMOST ALL,AND LOW ALBEDO OBJECTS LIKE DARK SURFACES ABSORBES A LOT

Question 5

WHAT IS THE HEAT CAPACITY ?

Answer 5

THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY (JOULE) TO INCREASE OR DECREASE THE TEMP OF AN OBJECT.AND IS EXPRESSED IN JOULE/KG/KELVIN

Question 6

HOW DOES THE WAVE LENGHT OF RADIANTION OF AN OBJECT CHANGE?

Answer 6

THE MORE HOTTER IT’S THE OBJ , THE SHORTER THE WAVE LENGHT AND VICEVERSA.

Question 7

HOW DOES THE RADIATIATION WHICH REACH THE EARTH SURFACE CALLED?

(85% REACH THE SURFACE AND 15% ITS ABSORBED BY THE OZONE)

Answer 7

INSOLATION

Question 8

WHAT IS CONDUCTION?

Answer 8

TRANSFER OF ENERGY BY DIRECT CONTACT

Question 9

IS THE TEMP COLING LAPSE RATE AT NIGHT LARGER AGAINST THE NORMAL 2C/1000FT LAPSE RATE? (DUE TO CONDUCTION)

Answer 9

YES ,AT NIGHT THE SURFACE DIRECTLY ABOVE THE SURF COOLES MUCGH FASTER THAN THE NORMAL LAPS RATE DURING THE DAY

Question 10

WHAT IS CONVECTION?

Answer 10

VERTICAL TRANSFER OF HEAT

Question 11

WHAT IS ADVECTION?

Answer 11

HORIZONTAL TRANSFER OF HEAT

EX MOIST HOT AIR FROM SEA MOVES TO THE COLD GROUND SURF.

TO ADVECTION TO EXISTS WIND MUST BE PRESENT.

Question 12

WHAT IS LATENT HEAT?

Answer 12

HEAT RELEASED OF ABSORBED BY A BODY WITHOUT ANY CHANGE IN ITS TEMP.

EX. WATER FROM LIQUID TO GAS NEEDS TO EVAPORATE,TO EVAPORATE IT NEEDS ENERGY WHICH IS TAKEN BY ITS SURROUNDINGS,WHICH LOWS THE TEMP OF THE LATTER .

Question 13

WHAT IS THE ECLIPTIC?

Answer 13

THE EARTH’S ORBITAL PLANE AROUND THE SUN.THE EARTH IS 23,5 DEGREES TILTED

Question 14

PERIHELION?

Answer 14

OCCURS ON 4TH JAN AND WHEN THE EARTH IS CLOSEST TO THE SUN. 91 MILLION AWAY

Question 15

APHELION?

Answer 15

OCCURS IN 4TH JULY AND IS WHEN THE EARTH IS FURTHEST FROM THE SUN. 95 MILLION MILES AWAY

Question 16

EQUINOX AND SOLSTICE DAYS ?

Answer 16

EQUINOX 23 SEP
SOL 21 DEC SOL 21 JUNE

           EQUINOX 21 MARCH

Question 17

WHAT IS THERMAL INERTIA?

Answer 17

THE DELAY OF THE MAX TEMP FROM THE MOMENT THE SUN PASSES ITS PEAK .

Question 18

WHAT HAS THE HIGHEST HEAT CAPACITY ? SEA OR SURFACE?

Answer 18

SEA ,ITS TAKE TIME TO ABSORBS AND RELEASE HEAT

Question 19

WHat can reduce the diurnal variation of temp ?

Answer 19

Clouds and winds

Question 20

What is a subsidence inversion?

Answer 20

Cold air sinking from above and due to been compressed the air warmed and some air at the bottom remains colder creating an inversion

Question 21

Frontal inversion?

Answer 21

When cold front been heavier and denser moving beneath the warm front creaiting and inversion

Question 22

Valley inversion?

Answer 22

When the air surrounding the mountains cools and sink to the valley. Called katabatic wind which is faster than anabatic win ( when air rises) because gravity helps to sink.

Question 23

6 TYPES OF ENERGY TRANSFER PROCESSES?

Answer 23

> CONDUCTION. BY CONTACT
CONVECTION. BY VERTICAL MOVEMENT OF AIR
ADVECTION. BY HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT OF AIR
RELEASE OF LATENT HEAT. WHEN CONDENSATE
RADIATION. ABSORPTION OF LONG WAVE RADIATION ( SUN EMMITS SHORT WAVE LENGHT WHICH ARE ABSORBED BY EARTH AND RELEASE LONG WAVE LENGHT WAVE RADIOATION)
TURBULENCE. BY MIXING OF AIR OF TURBALANCE

Question 24

WHAT IS A DIURNAL VARIATION?

Answer 24

It is the variation of the surface temperature over a 24 hour period Subject to the amount of energy received from the sun verse the amount of energy released from the earth.
MINIMUM TEMPERATURE AT JUST AFTER SUNRISE AND MAXIMUM 2HOURS AFTER NOON. LMT

Question 25

TYPES OF DIURNAL VARIATION?

Answer 25

CLOUDS EFFECT

WIND EFFECT

Question 26

TYPES OF TEMPERATURE INVERSION?

Answer 26

1 GROUND INVERSION
2 VALLEY INVERSION
3 FRONTAL INVERSION
4 SUBSIDENCE INVERSION
5 FRICTIONAL LAYER INVERSION
6 TROPOPAUSE INVERSION
7 WINDSHARE INVERSION
