Description : Uneven distribution of insolation on the earth is mainly due to the – (1) spherical shape of the earth (2) distribution of land and water (3) direction of the winds (4) presence of pressure belts
Last Answer : (1) spherical shape of the earth Explanation: Uneven distribution of insolation on the earth is mainly due to the Earth's tilted axis and the nearly spherical shape. The length of time that the ... lead to the unequal distribution of heat on the Earth, creating what is called a heat gradient.
Description : The solar radiation coming to Earth is called – (1) Radiant energy (2) Insolation (3) Sunshine (4) Terrestrial radiation
Last Answer : (2) Insolation Explanation: Insolation is the solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface. It is measured by the amount of solar energy received per square centimetre per minute. Insolation affects ... the rays of sunlight, the insolation is reduced in proportion to the cosine of the angle.
Description : The amount of insolation received at a place on the surface of the earth depends upon: (1) its climate (2) the longitude of the place (3) its latitude (4) the altitude of the place
Last Answer : (3) its latitude Explanation: Insolation is a measure of solar radiation energy received on a given surface area in a given time. It mainly depends on two factors: (1) the angle at which ... controlled by the latitude of the location and time of the year (Physical Geography Strahler & Sirahler).
Description : Which of the following asborbs part of the insolation and preserves earth's radiated heat? (1) Oxygen (2) Nitrogen (3) Water vapour (4) Carbon-dioxide
Last Answer : (3) Water vapour Explanation: The amount of solar energy reaching the Earth is 70 percent. The surface of the Earth absorbs 51 percent of the insolation. Water vapor and dust account for ... directly to outer space). This radiant energy is re-radiated in the atmosphere horizontally and vertically.
Description : Even after sunset, the air near the Earth's surface continue to receive heat due to – (1) Insolation (2) Terrestrial Radiation (3) Conduction (4) Convection
Last Answer : (2) Terrestrial Radiation Explanation: Even after the sunset when the sun goes down, the incoming radiation from the sun stops, but there is still a lot of radiation that has been absorbed ... i.e. terrestrial radiation heats up the atmosphere more than the incoming solar radiation i.e. insolation
Description : Clear nights are colder than cloudy nights because of – (1) conduction (2) condensation (3) radiation (4) insolation
Last Answer : (3) radiation Explanation: Cloudless nights are colder because the nights that have clouds provide a blanket for the earth and trap some of the hot day air where as the cloudless nights ... waves travel through vacuum, or through matter-containing media that are not required for their propagation.
