Green House and Green House Gases. Carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and some CFC's. Give illustration using car with closed windows. Effects of man's activities on the atmosphere include change in concentration of the natural gases in the lower atmosphere, changes in the water vapor content in the troposphere and stratosphere, alterations of surface characteristics of land and ocean, and introduction of finely divided solid substances into the lower atmosphere. Temperature is a measure of the heat content of the substance and heat is the energy content of the substance.
Temperature is measure using three different scales.
All together there are 13 latitudinal zones. Let us examine the global distribution of heat. The lines that join places with equal temperature are called isotherm. Duration of daylight Latitude Land and water contrasts Specific capacity of water is large, water is mixed thoroughly, evaporation cools the water surface, and radiation penetrates and distributes absorbed heat through substantial water layer. Killing frost and how to prevent it.
