1. What is Conduction?
2. The amount of solar radiation received by the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth is called insolation.
3. Equable, Extreme, Tropical, Temperate- these are the expressions of:
4. How are prevailing winds formed?
Answers
1.The transfer of energy, such as heat or an electric charge, through a substance. In heat conduction, energy is transferred from molecule to molecule by direct contact; the molecules themselves do not necessarily change position, but simply vibrate more or less quickly against each other.
2.Insolation' is the solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface. ... It is the amount of incoming solar radiation that is received over a unit area of the earth's surface. Solar energy received over the planet's surface varies according to season, latitude, transparency of the atmosphere, and aspect or ground slope.
3.Tropic of Cancer passes through the almost half of the country implies that India receives a tropical and sub tropical type of climate.
This has its implications for the climate of India as well as influences the duration of day and night.
Places on either side of the Tropic of Cancer experience tropical climate.
The tropical monsoon type of climate that India experiences is extreme on account of the Tropic of Cancer.
Places further south of Indian Union away from the Tropic of Cancer have more equable climate being closer to equator. Places further north of the Tropic of Cancer have subtropical climate.
The sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer on 21st June or Summer Solstice. Countries in the Northern Hemisphere including India experience summer during this part of the year.
4.Prevailing winds are winds that blow consistently in a given direction over a particular region on Earth. Due to factors such as uneven heating from the Sun and the Earth's rotation, these winds vary at different latitudes on Earth. ... In Southeastern Asia, these winds result in the formation of monsoons and deserts.

Insolation is specifically applied to radiation which is arriving at earth's atmosphere first and then earth surface.Similarly, solar energy received by the earth is called insolation. It is the amount of incoming solar radiation that is received over a unit area of the earth's surface.
These are the expressions of climate.
