Earth Spheres, Atmosphere Layers and Uneven Heating Review

What is the land breeze and in which direction does it blow at night?

• A land breeze occurs at night when the land cools faster than the ocean, causing the wind to blow toward the ocean.

• A land breeze occurs during the day when the ocean cools faster than the land, causing the wind to blow toward the land.

• A land breeze is a warm wind that blows from the ocean to the land at night.

• A land breeze is a cold wind that blows from the land to the ocean during the day.

What is the biosphere?

• The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems, where life exists on Earth.

• The biosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the planet.

• The biosphere is the part of Earth where weather occurs.

• The biosphere is a term used to describe the Earth's core.

What is conduction?

• Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

• Conduction is the process of heat transfer through fluids without direct contact.

• Conduction is the movement of heat through radiation in a vacuum.

• Conduction is the transfer of heat through the movement of air particles.

Define the geosphere.

• The geosphere is the solid part of the Earth, including rocks, soil, and landforms.

• The geosphere is the gaseous layer surrounding the Earth.

• The geosphere refers to the water bodies on Earth.

• The geosphere is the atmosphere that surrounds the Earth.

Which process affects air or water but NOT land?

• Convection affects air and water but does not affect land.

• Erosion affects air and water but does not affect land.

• Sedimentation affects air and water but does not affect land.

• Photosynthesis affects air and water but does not affect land.

What is convection?

• Convection is the transfer of heat through fluids (liquids and gases) due to the movement of the fluid itself.

• Convection is the process of heat transfer through direct contact between materials.

• Convection is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

• Convection is the movement of air caused by temperature differences in the atmosphere.

What is isolation in the context of Earth's energy?

• The process of separating different energy sources.

• The amount of solar energy received by a specific area of the Earth.

• The total energy produced by the Earth over time.

• The energy lost to space from the Earth's surface.

What happens to the air in Florida compared to New York due to sunlight differences?

• The air in Florida will rise higher than the air in New York because Florida receives more sunlight.

• The air in Florida will be cooler than the air in New York due to less sunlight.

• The air in Florida will remain at the same level as the air in New York regardless of sunlight.

• The air in Florida will sink lower than the air in New York because of increased humidity.

What is the hydrosphere?

• The hydrosphere includes all the water on Earth, such as oceans, rivers, lakes, and groundwater.

• The hydrosphere is the layer of gases surrounding the Earth.

• The hydrosphere refers to the solid part of the Earth, including rocks and minerals.

• The hydrosphere is the region of the Earth where living organisms exist.

What is radiation?

• Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight.

• Radiation is a type of sound wave that travels through air.

• Radiation is the process of cooling an object by removing heat.

• Radiation is the movement of particles in a solid state.
