1. LO: What is specific heat and how does it affect InSolAtion?
Do Now: Define Insolation.
Take out your ESRT.

2. Land and Water Heating The Greenhouse Effect
- Water heats up and cools off at a much
slower rate than land.
Reasons:
1. Water has a much higher specific heat.
2. Insolation can penetrate up to 300ft in
water but less than 1ft in land.
3. Convection currents distribute absorbed
energy through large volumes of water.
4. Some of the energy absorbed by water
is converted to stored heat to evaporate
the water.
The Greenhouse Effect
- The atmosphere transmits short-wave
radiation from insolation and absorbs long-
wave insolation from Earth.
- Greenhouse gases:
1. Methane
2. Carbon Dioxide
3. Water Vapor
- Most of the radiation given off by the Earth
is absorbed by the atmosphere.
- This absorption acts as a blanket regulating
the heat loss to outer space.
- Without the greenhouse effect the average
temp. would be 0°F (-18°C)

3. Specific Heat Practice
Formula for Specific Heat
J= (mass) x (specific heat) x ( t)

4. Practice Problem #1
Calculate the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 3g of water from 20°C to 50°C.

5. Practice Problem #1
Calculate the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 3g of water from 20°C to 50°C.
J= (3g) (50°C-20°C) (4.18cal/g)
J= (3g) (30°C) (4.18cal/g)

6. Practice Problem #1 J= 376.2 or 376.2 Joules
Calculate the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 3g of water from 20°C to 50°C.
J= (3g) (50°C-20°C) (4.18cal/g)
J= (3g) (30°C) (4.18cal/g)
J= or Joules
