ATotal sixty five units absorbed energyBTotal thirty five units reflected energyCTotal seventeen units direct escapeDTotal hundred units terrestrial radiation

Question 8HardLevel 5

After the surface absorbs fifty one units of energy by which path does that energy mainly return?

AThrough terrestrial longwave radiation and atmospheric processesBThrough river deposition and earthquakesCThrough the Moon's revolutionDThrough increase in solar constant

Question 9HardLevel 5

Direct escape of seventeen units of terrestrial radiation to space is most closely linked with which concept?

AAtmospheric windowBSolar constantCRain shadowDOcean salinity

Question 10HardLevel 5

Radiation of forty eight units of energy by the atmosphere to space proves which fact?

Question 11HardLevel 5

Thirty five units of reflection and sixty five units of emitted energy together balance one hundred units. Which principle does this show?

AEnergy conservation and heat balanceBPopulation balanceCRiver erosion balanceDOcean salinity balance

Question 12HardLevel 5

If absorbed energy at the surface increases but emission remains the same what happens to the local heat budget?

AEnergy surplus and warming tendency will developBEnergy deficit and cooling will occur immediatelyCSolar radiation will endDAlbedo will always increase

Question 13HardLevel 5

In which condition can the net radiation of a place become negative?

AOutgoing energy is greater than incoming energyBIncoming energy is greater than outgoing energyCSolar energy is highly absorbedDClouds return longwave energy downward

Question 14HardLevel 5

Why does longwave radiation escape more effectively on a clear sky night?

AThe heat trapping cloud layer is weakBThe Sun shines more at nightCThe surface emits no radiationDThe atmosphere completely disappears

Question 15HardLevel 5

If clouds remain high during both day and night what effect may occur on daily temperature range?

ADay temperature may be lower and night temperature higher reducing rangeBTemperature will rise infinitely day and nightCNight temperature will always be zeroDSolar energy will completely increase during day

Question 16HardLevel 5

Why can net radiation increase when albedo decreases?

ALess energy is reflected and more energy is absorbedBLongwave radiation stops formingCSolar constant becomes zeroDAtmosphere stops receiving energy

Question 17HardLevel 5

When snow cover decreases what type of feedback is possible in the polar heat budget?

APositive feedback because albedo decreases and absorption increasesBNegative feedback because solar energy endsCComplete balance because no radiation remainsDZero effect because snow has no albedo

ALongwave radiation emitted by EarthBRotational energy of EarthCEnergy of ocean tidesDEnergy of seismic waves

Question 19HardLevel 5

If atmospheric water vapour is high why can night cooling become slower?

ALess direct escape of longwave energyBComplete end of solar energyCSurface reflection becoming zeroDDecrease in ocean depth

Question 21HardLevel 5

In which condition can land surface heat faster than sea surface?

ADue to lower heat capacity and less mixingBDue to one hundred percent albedoCDue to absence of solar energyDDue to absence of longwave radiation

Question 22HardLevel 5

Why does the ocean heat budget help moderate climate?

AOcean gains and releases heat slowlyBOcean produces solar energyCOcean emits no longwave radiationDOcean always keeps albedo zero

Question 23HardLevel 5

What is the heat budget based reason for large diurnal range in deserts?
