What major factor is missing? - Answer- Atmospheric Composition What are the maximum and minimum albedo values for these planets? - Answer- Maximum: 0.76 Minimum: 0.1 Temperature of Earth (degrees C) -1st - Answer- -19.1 Temperature of E...

Quarternary Ice Age Answer - Most recent ice age that started 2.6 million years ago with two epochs (Pleistocene and Holocene) Loch Lomond Stadial Answer - Last glacial advance in the UK 12,000-10,000 years ago in Scottish Highlands caused by Gulf Stream cut off by Lake Agassiz Little Ice Age Answer - Between when average temperatures were 1-2C cooler, resulting in glaciers re-advancing and abandoned settlements in Iceland Eccentricity Cycle Answer - Change in Earth's orbit fr...

The time between the last 10,000 years and now is known as - the interglacial period Why does the atmosphere increase the temperature of the Earth? - the atmosphere reduces the rate at which radiation escapes (the atmosphere stops heat radiation from quickly escaping the earth, like a blanket) Which of the following data sources informs us that the Earth's climate varied w the orbital (Milankovitch) cycles? - ice cores (contain atmospheric samples from hundreds of thousands of years a...

primary factors that control mass wasting; - Answer- slope angle, geology, vegetation, climate What occurs in the creation of a rock avalanche from an initial rockslide? - Answer- A solid piece of rock breaks apart as it is moving rapidly Albedo - Answer- reflectivity- solar radiation is reflected by clouds and Earth's surface- 30% snow= highest albedo An increase in the average albedo of the Earth would cause ________________ - Answer- a decrease in the amount of solar energy that th...

Manhattan College SCI 210: Oceanography Chapter 5: The Atmosphere and Ocean Learning Objectives In this chapter, we examine radiational heating and cooling of the Earth-atmosphere system: 1. the interaction of incoming solar radiation with the atmosphere, ocean, and continents, 2. the flow of infrared radiation to space, and 3. the greenhouse effect. We also discuss heat transport by atmospheric and oceanic circulations 1. Understand atmospheric circulation as it relates to ocean cir...
