GEOG 2050 Midterm Exam | Answered with complete solutions The temperature control that includes the heat capacity of a substance is A) movement B) specific heat C) cloud cover D) evaporation The land surface cools off more rapidly at night than water does because A) the amount of energy stored in the land is less than that stored in the water column B) the energy is stored in a shallow layer near the surface of the land, and so it can be radiated away faster C) all of these D) none of the abov...

Clemson Univ Geology 1010 (Coulson) -- Exam 3 100% Correct Positive feedback Change in the 2nd component (B) enhances the change in the 1st component (A) For Example: Lower the temp > Ice forms > Temp drops again Negative Feedback Change to 2nd component (B) offsets the initial change in 1st component (A) For Example: You do poorly on exam 1, so you start to study more. You then do better on the exam 2, so you start to slack off, and thus do poorly on the exam 3. Insolation Heat energy...
