Why do regions near the equator experience warmer temperatures compared to regions near the poles?
Why do regions near the equator experience warmer temperatures compared to regions near the poles?
- Near the equator, ice and snow reflect more solar radiation back into space, reducing energy absorption.
- The Sun's rays strike the Earth's surface more directly near the equator, resulting in higher energy absorption. (correct)
- Regions near the poles receive more direct sunlight, leading to higher energy absorption and warmer temperatures.
- The Sun's rays hit the Earth at a more oblique angle near the equator, spreading energy over a larger area.
How does the reflective property of ice and snow impact the energy absorption near the poles?
How does the reflective property of ice and snow impact the energy absorption near the poles?
- Reflection of solar radiation by ice and snow reduces energy absorption, contributing to cooler temperatures. (correct)
- Ice and snow absorb more solar radiation, leading to higher temperatures near the poles.
- Ice and snow prevent heat from escaping, resulting in warmer temperatures near the poles.
- Ice and snow have no effect on energy absorption at high latitudes.
How does the Earth's surface influence the atmosphere's temperature?
How does the Earth's surface influence the atmosphere's temperature?
- The Earth's surface absorbs high-energy solar radiation and re-radiates it as lower-energy infrared radiation, heating the atmosphere from below. (correct)
- The atmosphere absorbs low-energy radiation from space and converts it into high-energy radiation.
- The atmosphere absorbs high energy, short-wave radiation from the Sun and re-radiates it as low-energy infrared radiation.
