has a higher _____ _____ than air has.
This means that it takes a lot of energy
to increase the temperature of a mass of
water.
2. Some of the solar radiation that is
absorbed by Earths surface is reemitted into the atmosphere as _____
radiation.
4. Ocean _____ are the main pathways for
the transfer of thermal energy from the
warmer latitudes near the equator to
cooler areas near the poles.

difference between the amount of
incoming radiation and the amount of
outgoing radiation.

to keep their greenhouses warm.
9. _____ is the movement of air from areas
of high pressure to areas of low
pressure.
11. The _____ of a surface is the percent of
the incoming solar radiation that it
reflects.
