Describe the relationship between the angle of insolation and the rate of heating a surface.?

The angle of insolation into a surface is largest when the surface directly faces the Sun. That coincides with the temperature rising. So the angle of insolation goes up as the temperature goes up.


What three types of sediment make up soil?

The three types of sediment that make up soil are sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest, followed by silt, and then clay particles, which are the smallest in size. The combination and proportion of these three sediments determine the soil's texture and properties.

What does the temperature do as the angle of insolation increases?

The temperature goes up because when the angle of insolation increases, it means that the sun's rays are becoming more directly focused on that area. That makes it hotter.For example, the equator is very hot. That's because that's where the sun's rays focus on most directly.The day is warm, and the night is cold.Summer is hot all day long if the angle of the sun is direct.YEARS:Summer = DirectWinter = IndirectFall/Spring = Half


What relationship between insolation and terrestrial radiation causes temperature to rise?

Insolation (incoming solar radiation) heats the Earth's surface, causing it to warm up. The warm surface then emits terrestrial radiation (heat energy) back into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this terrestrial radiation, leading to an increase in temperature, known as the greenhouse effect.

What is the angle of insolation on the equator?

The angle of insolation affects the intensity of insolation directly. In other words, as the angle of insolation increases, so does the intensity of insolation because the Sun is directly overhead at Zenith, giving off direct, or vertical rays. The opposite happens when the angle of insolation decreases, causing a decrease in the intensity of insolation as well.
