更多"The many part of the earth’s atmosp"的相关试题:
[单项选择]The many part of the earth’s atmosphere are linked with the various parts of the earth’s surface to produce a whole---the climate system. Different parts of the earth’s surface react to the energy of the sun in different ways. For example, ice and snow reflect much of it. Land surfaces absorb solar energy and heat up rapidly. Oceans store the energy without experiencing a significant temperature rise. Thus, the different types of surfaces transfer heat into the atmosphere at different rates.
We can view climate as existing in three domains: space, time, and human perception. In the domain of space, we can study local, regional, and global climates. In time, we can look at the climate for a year, a decade, a millennium, and so forth. Finally, we depend on our perceptions of the data, so we must include our own human perception into our model. Human perception must be included if our understanding of climatic processes is to be translated into societal actions. As a society, we make i
A. We must interpret data and take actions related to climate
B. We must create an interesting model of the climate system
C. We must develop an understanding of our environment
D. We must change our traditional ways of studying climate.

A. To explain why humans live in some parts but not in others
B. To show that the entire earth is made of the same materials
C. To compare how various surfaces transfer heat into the atmosphere
D. To describe changes in the earth’s appearance throughout the year
[填空题]Without the sun’s light (warm)______ the earth’s surface, it would be so cold that life could not exist on the earth.

·Why do many countries apply to host great sport events
[单项选择] Under the Earth’’s topsoil, at various levels, sometimes under a layer of rock, there am
deposits of clay. Look at cuts where highways have been built to see exposed clay beds; or
look at a construction site, where pockets of clay may be exposed. Rivers also reveal clay
along their banks, and erosion on a hillside may make clay easily accessible.
(5) What is clay made oF The Earth’’s surface is basically rock, and it is this rock that
gradually decomposes into clay. Rain, streams, alternating freezing and thawing, roots of
trees and plants forcing their way into cracks, earthquakes, volcanic action, and glaciers-all
of these forces slowly break down the Earth’’s exposed rocky crust into smaller and smaller
pieces that eventually become clay.
(10) Rocks are composed of elements and compounds of elements. Feldspar, which is the
most abundant mineral on the Earth’’s surface, is basically made up of the oxides silica and
A. conceal layers of rock
B. can be found in various places
C. are usually small
D. must be removed from construction sites
[简答题] How Global Warming Works
Gases in the Earth’’s atmosphere act like glass in a greenhouse-trapping heat and making life on Earth possible. But there is a delicate balance. Burning coal, oil and natural gas increases atmospheric concentrations of these gases. Over the past century, increases in industry, transportation, and electricity production have increased gas concentrations in the atmosphere faster than natural processes can remove them leading to human-caused warming of the globe.
The Sources Of Global Warming
The major source of global warming is carbon dioxide pollution from power plants, auto mobiles, and industry. Another source is global deforestation.
●Power plants are responsible for more than a third of U. S. CO2 emissions, yet there are no caps on CO2 emissions from power plants or any other industry.
●Gas guzzling cars and light trucks are also responsible for a third of U.S. CO2 emissions. Current regulations allow fo
