Which of the following absorbs more heat (radiation)?

• Gray material

• Snow and ice

• White material

"Percentage of incoming light/radiation reflected by the surface of a material" is...

• Albedo

• Conductivity

• Global Warming

• Heat Loss

It is colder at the North Pole than the Equator because...

• Solar radiation strikes the Earth directly at the North Pole

• The North Pole is further away from the Sun than the Equator

• Due to the curvature AND the tilt of the Earth. solar radiation is spread across a larger area at the North Pole

• The Earth's wobble causes the North Pole to move away from the incoming radiation

• Heat sink

• Radiation reservoir

• Thermal store

• Thermal expansion

A warm ocean current....

• brings moisture and warms nearby land

• removes moisture and lowers temperatures on islands

• sinks deeper into the ocean

• causes tsunamis
