A city transforms a parking lot with dark pavement into a park with trees and grass. How will the temperature of the area change?

• It will increase because the new surfaces absorb more sunlight.

• It will increase because the new surfaces reflect more sunlight.

• It will decrease because the new surfaces reflect more sunlight.

• It will decrease because the new surfaces absorb more sunlight.

The Sun's energy, the atmosphere, and the hydrosphere interact in different ways. Which flow chart correctly describes some of these interactions?

• ocean surface currents --> create global winds --> that influence climate and weather --> and transport energy from the Sun

• climate and weather --> create global winds --> that create surface currents --> that create energy from the Sun

• global winds --> create energy from the Sun --> that influences ocean surface currents --> and creates weather and climate

• energy from the Sun --> creates global winds --> that create surface currents --> that influence climate and weather

The diagram shows an interaction between the Sun's energy, the atmosphere, and the hydrosphere. What direct role did the Sun's play in the formation of this rain shadow?

• The Sun's energy made the clouds rise over the mountain.

• The Sun's energy made the precipitation fall to Earth's surface.

• The Sun's energy made the water vapor condense in the atmosphere.

• The Sun's energy made the water evaporate from the surface of the ocean.
