  44. Refer to the diagram below, which shows an island in the ocean on a clear summer day at 3 P.M. Place an A in the land area that is absorbing the most energy and place a B in the area that is reflecting the most energy. B A

  45. Essay #1 Why are the North and South Poles much colder than the equator? The North and South Poles are much colder than the equator because temperatures are lower at the poles because there is less radiation per unit of surface area at the poles than there is at the equator. At the equator, the sun’s rays hit the surface at a near vertical angle. As a result, the sun’s energy is more concentrated over a given area. At the poles, the sun’s energy is less concentrated over the same given area. Also, the ice and snow at the poles reflect sunlight back out to space. (Albedo)

  46. Essay #2 In a middle latitude region, how do the angle of insolation and the temperature change over the course of one year? Over the course of one summer? Over the course of one day? In one year, the angle of insolation changes from near vertical during the summer to less vertical during the winter. Temperature is warmest in late summer and coolest in late winter. In one day, the sun’s rays are closest to vertical at noon. The temperature is warmest in the afternoon and coolest just before dawn.
