Explanation:

2.

SOLAR RADIATION-Solar radiation, often called the solar resource, is a general term for the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun. Solar radiation can be captured and turned into useful forms of energy, such as heat and electricity, using a variety of technologies.

ISOLATION- To separate a substance in pure form from a mixture. To separate (a substance) in pure form from a combined mixture.

TERRESTRIAL RADIATION- Terrestrial radiation refers to sources of radiation that are in the soil, water, and vegetation. The major isotopes of concern for terrestrial radiation are potassium, uranium and the decay products of uranium, such as thorium, radium, and radon.

3.

Atmospheric pressure, also known as barometric pressure, is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth. The standard atmosphere is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa, which is equivalent to 760 mm Hg, 29.9212 inches Hg, or 14.696 psi. Wind is primarily driven by differences in air pressure. These variations in air pressure are due to temperature differences caused by variations in solar energy received at the surface of the earth. The sunlight absorbed by the ground depends on the latitude of the location, the slope and the underlying surface.

4.

Winds which blow throughout the year from one latitude to another in response to the latitudinal difference in pressure are known as planetary winds. ... Westerlies are the examples of planetary winds. Periodic winds: Winds changing their directions periodically with the change in seasons are called periodic winds.
