Therefore ‚ the ozone in the upper atmosphere may all absorb and most of the parts are short of the wavelength radiation. As well as the CO2 as well as H2O ‚ which is absorbed with the vapor from the water infrared radiation in the lower atmosphere. 4.

Red Kangaroo: Macropus Rufus The Kangaroo is an endotherm. Endotherms generate heat from their body’s metabolism. So their internal body temperature is independent of the external temperature. Endotherms eat more food than ectotherms. This higher food intake results in an increased level of metabolism‚ which is required to produce heat. The Red Kangaroo inhabits inland plains throughout Australia. They prefer open plains where trees and bushes are scarce. The fur on Kangaroos maintains an insulating

BTU – The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1lb of water 1 degree F Molecule – The smallest particle that a substance can be broken into and still retain its chemical identity. Conduction – Is energy that travels from one molecule to another molecule. Convection – To move heat from one location to another be means of current set up in a fluid medium. Density – The weight per unit of volume of a substance. Horsepower – Is 33‚000lb to a height of 1ft in 1 min. Mass

by reducing the effects of thermal conduction‚ convection and radiation. Heat insulation can take different forms depending on the type of heat transfer involved. The question arises as to which solid material is good for heat insulation. Non- metals are good heat insulators. Examples of non- metals used as insulators include wood‚ glass and plastics. Gases are good insulators if you can stop them moving. This prevents them from transferring heat by convection. An example of trapped gases used as

AOSC 200 Fall 2011 Key Topics to Study for the Final Exam What is the carbon dioxide and hydrologic cycles? What are the sources and sinks of each? Carbon Dioxide Cycle: How carbon is recycled through the atmosphere - Maximum CO2 in the Spring and minimum in the Fall because Spring comes right after winter. Therefore‚ all the plants that died during the Winter are not taking in CO2 for photosynthesis. Because these plants are not taking in CO2 there is more of it in the atmosphere. However

Climates and Oceans- 1. With coastal climates‚ the locations are on the windward side‚ meaning the weather patterns move from the ocean to land‚ giving them mild summers and cool winters. This means that there isn’t a very large temperature range for coastal climates. Inland climates are more of the land heating and cooling‚ because they heat to high temperatures in the day and then cool a great amount at night. Also‚ the weather patterns are moving from land to water‚ creating warmer summers and

In this lab‚ I calculated the heat of combustion of paraffin (candle wax) by burning a candle and holding a calorimeter (a soda can) filled with 98.7 mL of water above the flame. The heat released by the candle was absorbed by the water in the can. It was important to place the metal chimney around the candle so that minimal amounts of heat would escape; having too much heat lost to the atmosphere would cause extra error in the calculations. The assumption made was that all heat released from the
