AP Environmental Science Pre-lab formative Angle of Insolation Lab This quiz is a modified true-false quiz. When the statement is true, simply write a “T”. When the statement is false, write “F”, and correct the underlined italicized portion to make it true. Example: The cycle that incorporates the processes of condensation and evaporation is known as the carbon cycle. ANS: “F”: Hydrologic
Plants participate in the hydrologic cycle through the process of transpiration. Seasons on Earth are largely determined by the angle of insolation. When calculating the angle of incoming solar radiation using the tan-1if the meter stick’s shadow is 230 cm long, the angle is 43°.
4. In the following configuration, when Earth is in position “B”, the most direct rays of the Sun are striking the Tropic of Capricorn.
