Question

in the sense that earth's surface is heated by the light from the sun, it is heated unequally. Describe how this heat energy is redistributed globally.

ok so, i have this test. I'm not looking for answers, but more of an explanation, because i genuinely don't understand any of this. and it's worth 60 pts, i've looked over all of my resources and my notes. I just don't understand.

Answer 1

for humans, why is the characteristic of climate regularity important?

i know that if the climate were to change even by a few degrees, some species would adapt too slow and die out. So for humans, we would have to adapt also. but the effects it would make on us like more severe weather disasters and less food.. right?

Answer 3

mhmmmm Interesting this is easier than you think...

Answer 4

Well,
Agriculture mainly. Crops are generally grown where there is fertile soil, a long growing season, and enough rainfall during that time that food production is sufficient. If climate changes, rainfall may vary in time of year it occurs so that it doesn't provide water for crops. Similarly, crops may not be able to withstand heat waves, or cold snaps, both of which may vary in intensity or frequency with changes in climate. There may also be weird effects such as what happens with fruit like apples, which need a minimum number of winter days with temperatures below a certain value to set fruit. A warming climate may prevent this and apples won't produce anything. Conversely, winter wheat might be killed in the ground by an intense freeze or too much snow.

Answer 5

Another reason is
For humans, the characteristic of climate regularity is important because our food supply system depends on industrial farming. For instance, we rely on huge crops of corn, so if climate changes make growing corn more difficult, there are huge consequences for our entire agriculture industry and food supply.

Answer 6

That's what I was going to say lol great minds think a like

I was just saying i doubt you knew THE EXACT answer.

Answer 17

ohhhh ok lol my bad but we really just were fr

Answer 18

what physical factors and positions, or movements, of the earth cause different amounts of energy to strike the surface of the earth?

Answer 19

step aside Jovonni.

Answer 20

Ummmm.... Great question...ummm im going to ask you a question so you can get the answer ok

Answer 21

The position of the earth in its orbit around the sun.
the position of the earth as it rotates around its axis
the angle of the axis tilt.

the cloud covering the sky either reflecting the light away or absorbing it.

The color of the surface.. black absorbs more light than white.. thats why cities are usually hotter.
another one is

Answer 22

We have several factors to consider here. First, the earth spins on its axis once every 24 hours, bringing us day and night. Logically, during the day, the sun is shining on the surface and the earth is heated. At night, the sun is not shining on the surface and the earth cools. Thus, we have daily changes in the amount of light reaching surface, resulting in daily changes in the amount of heat reaching the surface. Second, because the earth is a globe, the sun's rays strike the surface of the earth at the equator more directly than at the polar regions resulting in differences in the amount of light reaching the surface of the earth, and hence, the equator heats up more quickly than the polar regions. Third, the earth's axis is slightly tilted, and the tilt of the axis combined with the revolution around the sun each year, brings seasonal changes in the amount of sunlight striking the surface of the earth. For example, when the Northern Hemisphere is at a point in our revolution around the sun where it is tilted towards the sun, the rays fall more directly on the surface bringing summer temperatures. Six months later, the revolution around the sun brings earth to a point where the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun; the rays fall less directly on the surface causing cooler, winter temperatures. .
