Answer:
Explanation:
True or False: The pressure and density of air (the atmosphere) increases with increasing altitude.
False: decreases with increasing altitude
The proportion of light (shortwave radiation) reflected from a surface is defined as:
Albedo
True of False: Greenhouses gasses such as carbon dioxide readily absorb incoming shortwave radiation.
False: longwave radiation
True or False: Net radiation can be positive, negative, or even zero.
True
True or False: Seasonal variations in net radiation and surface temperature increase as you move from the equator to the poles.
True
True or False: Between 35oN and 90oN latitude there is a deficit in the net radiation balance (amount of outgoing longwave radiation exceeds the amount of incoming shortwave radiation).
True
True or False: A descending air mass creates a zone of low atmospheric pressure at the surface.
False: creates zone of high pressure
True or False: The Coriolis effect causes air travelling from the equator north (toward the north pole) to deflect to the right in a clockwise fashion.
True
True or False: Patterns of atmospheric and ocean circulation function to transport thermal energy from the tropics (region of surplus net radiation) to the polar regions (regions of deficit net radiation).
True
