Effective Study Techniques for Quizzes and Tests
To excel in quizzes and tests, review your notes, read unclear sections, practice with sample questions, and use memorization aids like flashcards. Key concepts such as convection, conduction, insolation, reflection, and the greenhouse effect are essential for understanding. Regular review and practice are key to success.

WHY STUDY FOR A QUIZ/TEST? How to study: How to study: Review your Notes (read them over carefully) Review your Notes (read them over carefully) Read over sections in the textbook or review Read over sections in the textbook or review book you are not clear about book you are not clear about Practice sample questions: from the review Practice sample questions: from the review book/practice quiz or online (regentsprep.org) book/practice quiz or online (regentsprep.org) Memorization Memorization flash cards, copy lists flash cards, copy lists
Key Concepts for Quiz Convection process of heat rising due to density changes (candle and smoke!) Conduction Transfer of energy molecule to molecule (has to touch) Insolation the energy (radiation) received from the Sun (through space) Various forms of radiation distinguished by wavelength
Key Concepts for Quiz Continued Reflect radiation reflected back out of the Earth s atmosphere Absorb take in radiation (opposite of reflect) Scattered radiation which is spread around in the atmosphere
Quiz Review When the Earth receives radiation from the Sun, not all of it is absorbed. Some of the energy is reflected and/or scattered.
Quiz Review The energy that is absorbed by Earth is absorbed by various surfaces. Darker colored surfaces reflect less light but absorb more energy. Lighter colored surfaces reflect more light but absorb less energy.
Quiz Review The gasses that contribute to the Greenhouse Effect are Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Methane (CH4) Nitrous Oxide (N2O) Water Vapor (H2O) These contribute to the climate change!
Quiz Review In page 14 of the ESRT there is a chart of the atmosphere and the different parts of it. We discussed that the ozone (O3) layer is in the stratosphere. What is noticeable about the different parts of the atmosphere? Temperature Zones The pauses between them. Altitude
Quiz Review Radiation is on ESRT page 14. Notice two things: Wavelength of radiation increases from right to left.
PRACTICE QUIZ Question #1
Question #1 Answer is #1 Think of a blacktop in the summer. It gets hot quicker because it is a dark surface that absorbs energy and reflects less!
Question #2 Answer is #2 LOOK AT THE SPIKE ON GRAPH NO OTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED TO GET ANSWER.
Question #3 Answer is #1 Look at picture on ESRT (page 14) and it gives answer! There is no temperature given off, different source, or differing speeds. Process of elimination!
Question #6 Answer is #1 Strictly a vocabulary question. Terrestrial radiation is infrared. Specific heat how easily things heat up. Convection process of moving heat due to density differences.
ESRT P.1!! There are two main gasses within the atmosphere: Nitrogen (78%) Oxygen (21%) 98% of the atmosphere are made of these gasses! We need these to survive and maintain life on Earth.
Question #8 Answer is #3 Kilometers are on the left hand side, miles are on right hand side.
