After reflection, scattering, and direct absorption about 50 % of the total incoming solar radiation reaches the Earth’s surface. Which of the following is true? A. Absorption of terrestrial radiation; Earth, like any warm body, radiates energy that may be subsequently absorbed by the atmosphere. B. Latent heat of condensation; Approximately 70 % of Earth’s surface is covered by water. Consequently a great deal of evaporation occurs because of the insolation reaching the surface. C. Conduction from Earth’s surface; A comparatively smaller, but significant, amount of heat energy is transferred to the atmosphere by conduction from the earth’s surface. D. All of the Above 11.
