2) They receive more radiation more than the polar regions because it is closer to the sun than the polar regions. This is because of the tilt of the earth.
3) Albedo means: the proportion of the incident light or radiation that is reflected by a surface, typically that of a planet or moon. A black roof would absorb more radiation because it is simply darker and the whiteness of snow is why it stays cold therefore it wouldn't absorb radiation.
4) Lapse rate is the rate at which air temperature falls with increasing altitude.
5) Well aspect is the compass that the direction a slope faces. Plants will grow better on the south side facing side of a mountain because the sunlight hits that part of the mountain more through out the day.
6) We have seasons because the earth spins on a axis. Also that the earths spin axis is tilted with respect to the orbital plane, which causes the seasons.
7) Land heats up much faster than water because water reflects most of the solar radiation.
8) The climate would be more dry because of the absence of water and there wouldn't be much rain fall there.
9) It keeps Norway climate more temperate and keeps the water from freezing with atrong winds.
10) I think that it is the Alasken current.
11) It makes the planet warmer than it should be, which causes global warming.
12) Convention is: the movement caused within a fluid by tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise and colder denser material to sink under the influence of gravity and to transfer heat.
13) It is the perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction.
14) Urban heat island is a metropolitan area that is significantly warmer than is surrounding area. Also that there is more human activity in those places.
