QUESTION 4

1. Within the stratosphere, atmospheric tempter increases with altitude mainly because ________________.

	it receives more long-wave radiation from the Earth's surface.
	it receives more short wave radiation from the Sun
	there is an Ozone layer that tracts both long wave radiation from the earth and shortwave of radiation from the Sun
	atmosphere becomes less dense and gas molecules travel very slow.

QUESTION 6

1. Which statements are true about the following figure?

	Maximun daily insolation always occur at the noon time.
	Maximun daily temperature and daily insolation always occur at the same time, whcih is the noon time.
	Maximun daily temperature and daily insolation always occur at the same time, whcih is in the middle afternoon close to 4:00 PM.
	Maximun daily temperature always occurs later than maxitum daily insolation does.
	Latent heat plays a significant role in causing such delay or daily variation in ballance between insolation and outgoing radiaton.

QUESTION 7

1. The following three figures are annual temperature of three different types of places. They may be too large for review but it is easy to compare with one another so I have placed them together. Please select all statements that are true regarding these climographs.

	The annual temperature change is caused by the seasonal variation in insolation.
	There is a lag in maximum monthly temperature (high or low) behind maximum monthly insolation which occurs on summer solstice. In the northern hemisphere, the highest average monthly temperature occur in July in land areas and in August in marintime environments.
	The left graph for Perosia represent a pattern called continentality, which means that it has greater extreme temperature and ranges that those for a marinetime environment.
	The mild range of temperature change and a longer lag of maximum mean monthly temperature in Honolulu, Hawaii, are mainly due to the effect of the ocean.
	In Australia, the highest monthly temperature also occurs in July.

	You need to learn how to interprete an isotherms or a temperature map. The following maps shows the global temperature distribution in July and December representing Summer and Winter respectively. Focus on how termperature distribution differs over land and ocean as it decreases with latitude. In this assignment, please just answer this question: Which of the fallowing statements are false?.
	Overall, atmospheric temperature increases as latitude increases	Overall, atmospheric temperature increases as latitude increases.
	During winter, the atmospheric temperature over the land area is much lower than that over the ocean surface.	During winter, the atmospheric temperature over the land area is much lower than that over the ocean surface.
	The maximum temperature difference between land and ocean is smaller during winter than during summer	The maximum temperature difference between land and ocean is smaller during winter than during summer
	During winter, the temerature difference between 0-45^oN along Line B (over the Pacific Ocean) is about 25^oC whereas the the temperature difference within the same range along Line C (mainly over land area) is more than 70^oC	During winter, the temerature difference between 0-45^o N along Line B (over the Pacific Ocean) is about 25^oC whereas the the temperature difference within the same range along Line C (mainly over land area) is more than 70^oC.
