Revolt · Accepted Answer

insolation

Question 4

Which order shows the materials having the highest to lowest temperature after 15 minutes of being under the lamps?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

air, soil, sand, water

Question 5

Answer the questions using the drop-down menus. Which is the independent variable in this experiment? Which is the dependent variable in this experiment? Which is a controlled variable in this experiment?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

type of material; Selection 1: angle of light; Selection 2: temperature of material; Selection 3: type of material

Question 6

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 7

Complete the paragraph by choosing the answers from the drop-down menus. 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.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

is warmer than; Selection 1: is warmer than; Selection 2: heats up faster than; Selection 3: less dense than

Question 8

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 9

from the ocean to the land

Question 10

Question 11
