Insolation is defined as the " the solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface." It is reflected<span> and scattered back to space through its interaction with clouds, water vapour, dust and pollen, known collectively as aerosols or it is absorbed by clouds and gaseous elements and hence heats the atmosphere. </span>

There are actually several great characteristics of the ice sheet that makes a good reflector of insulation. One of the main characteristics is that the ice and snow are both white. Other ways you put this is the ice sheet is smooth, light in color, and shiny/glassy. Any of these are acceptable answers.

Which statement best compares the movement of P waves and S waves?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

C.  P waves move matter back and forth, in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave, while S waves move matter up and down, perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Explanation:

P and S - waves are both called seismic waves. They are produced during deformation within the earth.

Usually, P or Primary waves have the fastest velocity and arrives at the seismic station first. Secondary, Shear or S-waves follows P-waves.

  • P-waves are body waves that propagates within a body. They cause movement internally.
  • Secondary waves are surface waves. They move on the surface of earth.
  • One way to also distinguish between these two seismic waves is that, P-waves are longitudinal waves that travels parallel or longitudinally to the source.
  • Secondary waves moves in an up and down motion pattern. They propagate transversely to their source.
