What happens to solar radiation as it tries to reach the surface of or planet? - Atmosphere is largely transparent to incoming solar radiation; Most visible radiation reaches the surface; About 50% absorbed at Earth's surface; Absorption: energy is converted to heat; Reflection: energy bounces off a surface (albedo: percentage of light reflected); Scattering: dust and gas molecules scatter energy in all directions What is albedo? How can albedo change? - Percentage of diffusely reflected sun...

2 examples of changes in global N cycle caused by humans + why problematic - 1. Runoff from agricultural areas causes dead zones - EX: parts of the ocean with no oxygen so nothing can live in it 2. Acid rain due to emissions from power plants—affects soils negatively 3 major forest formations (tree type, precipitation, temperature, and water balance) - 1. Tropical and subtropical rainforest - Evergreen trees - Positive water balance - High annual rainfall and temperatures (because they...
