1)The transfer of heat from molecule to molecule within a substance is called

2. The heat energy released when water vapor changes to a liquid is called

3. Which of the following is the poorest conductor of heat?
4. In the lower atmosphere, any air that rises will                                                and cool
5. A heat transfer process in the atmosphere that depends upon the movement of air is
6. The wavelength of radiation is                                     proportional to the energy carried per wave
7. Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 0.4 and 0.7 micrometers is called
8. The earth's radiation is often referred to as                           radiation, while the sun's radiation is often referred to as                                                                                    radiation.
9. The earth emits radiation with greatest intensity at
10. The atmospheric greenhouse effect is due primarily to the fact that
11. Without the atmospheric greenhouse effect, the average surface temperature of the earth would be
12. Although water vapor accounts for about 60% of the atmospheric greenhouse effect, it is the increase of                                                                                              in the atmosphere that appears to be the main cause of global warming.
13. The earth's surface receives about twice as much energy from the atmosphere than from the sun as a result of
14. An object that radiates more energy than it absorbs will
15. Seasons on earth are regulated by
16. On which date would the sun's rays be closest to being perpendicular to the earth's surface in the middle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere?
17. The most important reason why summers in the Southern Hemisphere are cooler than summers in the Northern Hemisphere is that
18. Microwave radiation has a longer wavelength and carries more energy per wave than visible light.
