7.2- Heat & the Atmosphere

The transfer of heat by direct contact between two objects to convection.

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• adiabatic

A process that involves a temperature change with no heat being gained or lost is a convective process.

• adiabatic

The amount of energy available to heat Earth's land, water, and air is Earth's albedo.

• energy budget

• albedo

• insolation

• adiabatic

NGSS.HS-ESS2-4

Which of the following situations would have the greatest insolation?

• summer in Maine

• summer in Florida

• winter in Florida

• winter in Maine

NGSS.MS-ESS2-6

If both receive the same amount of sunlight, which is hotter on a summer day: a beach or the water next to it?

• The beach is hotter

• The water is hotter

• Both are the same temperature

• More information is needed to answer the question

What happens when a body of air rises in the atmosphere?

• It cools because the surrounding air is cooler

• It cools because the atmospheric pressure is lower

• It warms because the surrounding air is cooler

• It warms because the atmospheric pressure is lower
