absorption
the process by which radiation is captured or retained by a substance
reflection
the process by which radiation arriving at a surface is redirected away
transmission
the process by which radiation travels through space, with no modification of its intensity, direction, or wavelength
Albedo
the percentage of incident radiation which is reflected
specific heat
the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of matter by 1 degree Celsius
lower, smaller
Darker colors have a [HIGHER/LOWER] albedo, which means they reflect a [GREATER/SMALLER] percentage of radiation
higher, greater
Lighter colors have a [HIGHER/LOWER] albedo, which means they reflect a [GREATER/SMALLER] percentage of radiation
heating, pressure, high, low, wind
Different materials reflect different levels of solar radiation, which creates differences in heat. A horizontal difference in [ answer] causes a horizontal difference in [answer], which causes the air to move from [answer] to [answer] pressure, creating a phenomenon called [answer].
