Manhattan College SCI 210: Oceanography Chapter 5: The Atmosphere and Ocean Learning Objectives In this chapter, we examine radiational heating and cooling of the Earth-atmosphere system: 1. the interaction of incoming solar radiation with the atmosphere, ocean, and continents, 2. the flow of infrared radiation to space, and 3. the greenhouse effect. We also discuss heat transport by atmospheric and oceanic circulations 1. Understand atmospheric circulation as it relates to ocean cir...

INSTRUCTIONS: The following selections relate to distinguishing arguments from nonarguments and identifying conclusions. Select the best answer for each. 1. Incandescent light bulbs eventually burn out because the high temperature of the filament causes tungsten atoms to fly off and collect on the inside of the bulb's glass. This loss of tungsten is slowed, but not prevented, by introducing argon inside the bulb's envelope. As more and more atoms are lost, the filament disintegrates. When t...
