explain briefly the vertical and horizontal distribution of temperature
Answers
Answer:
Distribution of temperature across the latitudes over the surface of the earth is called its horizontal distribution. On maps, the horizontal distribution of temperature is commonly shown by isotherms. Isotherms are line connecting points that have an equal temperature.
Answer:
The interaction of incoming solar radiation (insolation) with the atmosphere and the earth’s surface creates heat. This is measured in terms of temperature.
While heat represents the molecular movement of particles comprising a substance, the temperature is the measurement in degrees of how hot (or cold) a thing (or a place) is.
So, heat is the energy which makes things or objects hot, while temperature measures the intensity of heat (degree of hotness/coldness).
Heat and temperature are closely related to each other because gain or loss of heat is necessary to raise or lower the temperature.
The Celsius scale is the internationally accepted scale for reporting air temperature.
Fahrenheit scale and Kelvin scales are other scales used to measure temperature.
The Fahrenheit temperature scale is based on 32 °F for the freezing point of water and 212 °F for the boiling point of water, with the interval between the two being divided into 180 parts.
On the Kelvin scale, 0 K represents absolute zero (-273 °C), the temperature at which the molecules of a substance have their lowest possible energy
