WHY STUDY FOR A QUIZ/TEST?
How to study:
•
Review your Notes (read them over carefully)
•
Read over sections in the textbook or review
book you are not clear about
•
Practice sample questions: from the review
book/practice quiz or online (regentsprep.org)
•
Memorization – flash cards, copy lists
Key Concepts for Quiz
Convection – process of heat rising due
to density changes (candle and smoke!)
 Conduction – Transfer of energy
molecule to molecule (has to touch)
 Insolation – the energy (radiation)
received from the Sun (through space)
 Various forms of radiation distinguished
by wavelength

Key Concepts for Quiz Continued
Reflect – radiation reflected back out of
the Earth’s atmosphere
 Absorb – take in radiation (opposite of
reflect)
 Scattered – radiation which is spread
around in the atmosphere

Quiz Review


When the Earth
receives
radiation from
the Sun, not all
of it is absorbed.
Some of the
energy is
reflected and/or
scattered.
Quiz Review



The energy that is
absorbed by Earth is
absorbed by various
surfaces.
Darker colored
surfaces reflect less
light but absorb more
energy.
Lighter colored
surfaces reflect more
light but absorb less
energy.
Quiz Review

The gasses that
contribute to the
Greenhouse Effect
are
 Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
 Methane (CH4)
 Nitrous Oxide (N2O)
 Water Vapor (H2O)

These contribute to
the climate change!
Quiz Review



In page 14 of the ESRT
there is a chart of the
atmosphere and the
different parts of it.
We discussed that the
ozone (O3) layer is in
the stratosphere.
What is noticeable
about the different
parts of the
atmosphere?
 Temperature Zones
 The “pauses” between
them.
 Altitude
Quiz Review


Radiation is on
ESRT page 14.
Notice two things:
 Wavelength of
radiation increases
from right to left.
PRACTICE QUIZ
Question #1
Question #1

Answer is #1

Think of a blacktop
in the summer. It
gets hot quicker
because it is a dark
surface that absorbs
energy and reflects
less!
Question #2
Question #2

Answer is #2

LOOK AT THE
SPIKE ON GRAPH
– NO OTHER
INFORMATION IS
NEEDED TO GET
ANSWER.
Question #3
Question #3

Answer is #1

Look at picture on
ESRT (page 14) and
it gives answer!
There is no
temperature given
off, different source,
or differing speeds.
Process of
elimination!

Question #6
Question #6

Answer is #1
Strictly a vocabulary
question.
 Terrestrial radiation is
infrared.
 Specific heat – how
easily things heat up.
 Convection – process
of moving heat due to
density differences.

Question #7
1
ESRT P.1!!

There are two main
gasses within the
atmosphere:
 Nitrogen (78%)
 Oxygen (21%)


98% of the
atmosphere are made
of these gasses!
We need these to
survive and maintain
life on Earth.
