Geography
The atmosphere is warmed by A% of insolation and B% of terrestrial radiation regulating earth's temperature preventing extremes of temperature.
- A : 14; B : 34
- A : 35; B: 35
- A : 14; B : 48
- A : 51; B: 17
Answer
A : 14; B : 34
Reason — The atmosphere absorbs only 14 units of the sun's incoming radiation but absorbs 34 units of the earth's terrestrial radiation. Thus, the atmosphere is heated more by terrestrial radiation than by incoming insolation and acts like a blanket, preventing extremes of temperature on the earth.
