The Longest Study Guide EVER Repeats were taken off CHAPTER 1 1 Which of the following outlines the steps of the scientific method in the correct order Ask a Question background research construct hypothesis experiment analyze data and draw conclusion communicate result Dust in the atmosphere is associated with which of the following reflection of solar energy optical phenomena such as a red sky at sunset condensation and cloud formation On the average for every 1 km increase in altitude in the troposphere the air temperature 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 14 15 drops 6 5c The most important source of the free oxygen in our atmosphere is Green plants The vertical temperature structure of the troposphere is described by lapse rate Water vapor represents what fraction of the air near the Earth s surface 4 The troposphere is most likely to be thickest over the equator The level of the atmosphere with the highest temperatures is the Thermosphere Which of the following spheres is composed exclusively of water hydrosphere The ozonelayer is found in the stratosphere The summit of Mt Everest 8 85 km is found in the Tropospehere Radiosondes have been used regularly since late 1920 s 13 Which of the following is NOT true of radiosondes The formation of fossil fuels begins when biomass is deposited and buried with sediment instead of decaying Air may best be described as mixture oxygen and nitrogen 16 Which one of the following is the MOST abundant gas in the atmosphere nitrogen 20 21 22 26 27 28 29 31 32 33 17 Which two gases make up a combined total of 99 of clean dry air in the homosphere nitrogen and oxygen This variable atmospheric component can exist in all three states of matter solid liquid and gas at the temperatures and pressures that normally exist on Earth water This atmospheric component absorbs damaging ultraviolet radiation from the Sun various none of above Ninety percent of our atmosphere lies below an altitude of about 16km 23 With an increase in altitude air pressure decreases 24 Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere above a particular location 25 Which of the following is the MOST important atmospheric component with regard to the Earth s climate water vapor Ozone is concentrated in the Lower stratosphere The four thermal layers of the atmosphere in order beginning from the surface are Troposphere Stratosphere Mesosphere Thermosphere The heterosphere and ionosphere are BOTH found in the thermosphere A primary difference between the concepts of weather and climate is the Climate is what you expect weather is what you get 30 Which of these was NOT involved with the formation and evolution of our present atmosphere stratification The normal lapse rate applies to the temperature decrease in the troposphere This country has the greatest variety of weather in the world United States The majority of the water outside of the oceans is in the form of glaciers 34 Which one of the following gases has the greatest effect on weather carbon dioxide 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 Ozone consists of 3 oxygen molecules Ozone is actually a form of the element hydrogen False The troposphere is part of the homosphere True The stratosphere is an example of a temperature inversion True The tropopause is found where the air temperature stops decreasing with height True The oceans cover about 50 percent of the Earth s surface True At one time the Earth s atmosphere contained no free oxygen True Scientific hypotheses are rejected when they do not agree with observed data False The atmosphere ends abruptly at an altitude of 30 kilometers False 40 km A scientific hypothesis may be regarded as a tentative explanation of observed facts or events True Vertical motion in the lower atmosphere is strongly related to the environmental lapse rate True The rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels over the last century is due primarily to the burning of fossil fuels True Depletion of the ozone layer leads to increased amounts of UV radiation striking the surface of the Earth True There is a sharp and definable boundary between the atmosphere and outer space False 49 The environmental lapse rate is not constant False CHAPTER 2 1 During natural processes heat transfer is always from Hot to cold 23 deg 2 During the Earth s orbit around the Sun the inclination tilt of the Earth s axis 3 Low sun angles result in reduced solar energy because energy is spread over a larger area and atmospheric path length is longer 4 Which of the following correctly describes the equinoxes days and nights are equal in length in all parts of the world 5 At 45 degrees S latitude the angle of the noon Sun is lowest and the length of daylight is shortest on June 21 Kinetic energy 7 Heat 6 The energy associated with motion is called transfer of energy into or out of an object because of temperature differences between that object and its surroundings 8 The longest wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum are radio wavelengths 9 The wavelengths emitted by the Earth are Infrared radiation 10 On the average how much of the Sun s energy that is intercepted by the Earth system is 11 The length of daylight gets progressively longer going south from the equator on reflected to space 1 3 December 21 March 21 or 22 June 21 June 21 radiation 12 The spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere starts on 13 The 90 degrees angle rays strike the Tropic of Cancer on 14 New York City has its greatest length of daylight on 15 The Earth receives energy from the Sun by 16 The process of involves the movement of a mass or substance convection 17 Wind is an example of advection horizontal component of convective flow 18 Thermals and advection are both types of Convection 19 The transfer of heat through matter by molecular collisions is called is responsible for the redness of sunset conduction 20 Scattering 21 During reflection 22 Earth s perihelion light bounces back from an object at the same angle at which it encounters a surface and with the same intensity On about January 3 the position of our planet which is about 147 3 million km from the sun closer than at any other time 23 At what time of year is the Earth s axis not tilted either toward or away from the Sun autumnal equinox 24 The longest day of the year in the United States occurs on summer solstice June 21 or 22 25 The surface with the HIGHEST albedo is Thick clouds 26 Wavelengths of the visible spectrum are between 400 nm to 700nm 27 The type of energy that is
