question 27

Short Answer

________ refers to the passage of shortwave and longwave energy, either through the atmosphere or water.

When insolation enters the atmosphere, it passes from one medium to another (from virtually empty space to atmospheric gas) and is subject to a bending action called ________. ________ is the assimilation of radiation and its conversion from one form to another.
