Answer:
Albedo
Explanation:
Usually when we talk about uneven heating of the Earth's surface we are discussing convection. The uneven heating results in some of the atmosphere to be warmer than other parts and changes in volume and pressure which result in updrafts and can cause thunderstorms and other violent weather.
The cause of this is the reflectiveness of the surface of the Earth at that point (the albedo) and the angle that the sun's rays strike it at. A field covered with snow and ice is going to be much more reflective than a black top asphalt parking lot. As such the parking lot absorbs much more shortwave radiation from the sun and gets much warmer.
O⋅atom=16.00⋅g⋅mol−16.022×1023⋅mol−1
There are several information's already given in the question. Based on those information's, the answer can be easily deduced.
Amount of gasoline required by Harry's car to travel 25 miles = 1 gallon
Then
amount of gasoline required
by Harry's car to travel 15000 miles = 15000/25
= 600 gallons
So
Amount of CO2 released by burning 1 gallon of gasoline = 20 pounds
Then
Amount of CO2 released
by burning 600 gallon of gasoline = 600 * 20
= 12000 pounds
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the amount of CO2 that will be added by Harry's car to the atmosphere is 12000 pounds.
