Lab: Absorption and Radiation by Land and Water

Question 1

Which statements describe the results of the effect of angle of insolation on absorption experiment? Check all that apply.At 3 minutes, the soil temperature at a 0° angle of insolation is higher than at 90°.At 6 minutes, the soil temperature at a 45° angle of insolation is higher than at 0°.At 9 minutes, the soil temperature at a 90° angle of insolation is lower than at 45°.At 12 minutes, the soil temperature at a 45° angle of insolation is lower than at 0°.At 15 minutes, the soil temperature at a 90° angle of insolation is higher than at 45°.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

At 6 minutes, the soil temperature at a 45° angle of insolation is higher than at 0°.; At 15 minutes, the soil temperature at a 90° angle of insolation is higher than at 45°.

Question 2

Which statement describes how the angle of insolation affects different areas of Earth?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

The area near the equator is warmer than the area near the pole.

Question 3

✔ angle of lighttemperature of materialtype of material

Revolt · Accepted Answer

✔ angle of light; angle of light; temperature of material; type of material

Question 4

angle of light✔ temperature of materialtype of material

Revolt · Accepted Answer

✔ temperature of material

Question 5

The air over Earth’s surfaces absorbs heat from the materials of Earth. In Section 3 of the experiment, the air over the sand [___] the air over the water because sand [___] water. This difference in temperatures makes the air over the sand [___] the air over the water so it rises. The air above the water takes the place of the air above the sand. This movement of air creates a sea breeze.
