5 / 5 pts
Question 11
What is the general relation between the amount of radiation received in
each 30
segment and the angle of the Sun's rays?
o
The larger the angle between Earth's surface and incoming rays, the less
radiation received
Each point on Earth's surface receives the same amount of solar radiation
regardless of the angel between the surface and incoming rays

7/10
In general, how do surface temperatures vary from the equator towards
the poles and why does this variation occur?
Surface temperatures become warmer towards the poles because the Sun
is closer to the Earth at higher latitudes
Surface temperatures become cooler towards the poles because the poles
are covered by ice and snow
Surface temperatures become cooler towards the poles because the Sun's
rays become more oblique at higher latitudes
Surface temperatures do not vary much between the equator and poles 4 / 4 pts
Question 15
With regard to Figure 13.10, the locations of the warmest and coldest
temperatures are over water.
True False 4 / 4 pts

Question 19
Explain the larger annual range of temperature in Siberia compared to
oceans.
Land has a lower specific heat than does water Continents are higher in elevation and therefore closer to the Sun Solid ground is transparent whereas water is opaque It takes more solar energy to raise the temperature of land than it does
water
Land is able to mix cooler and warmer regions more effectively than do
oceans
5 / 5 pts
Question 20
Why is the annual temperature range smaller along the coast of Norway
than at the same latitude in Siberia?
Marine conditions tend to moderate temperatures because water warms
and cools more slowly than does land
Norway has a longer period of daylight than does Siberia Evaporative heat loss over oceans cause heating of coastal areas Norway is close to mountains whereas Siberia is relatively flat

Question 21
Why is temperature relatively uniform throughout the year in the tropics
along the equator?
Most of Earth's surface along the equator is covered by water
Tropical rain forests along the equator receive abundant rainfall that
moderates temperature
The equator receives about the same amount of solar radiation throughout
the year
The amount of solar radiation on Earth's surface varies considerably
throughout the year along the equator but averages out to be the same
every year
