Document Summary
Final: multiple choice and take home short answer. The rise of powder river basin coal (40% us total) Prb coal- per ton of so2 for removal. Appalachian coal- per ton for so2 removal. There are jobs available, that should not be a problem or concern. Weather, climate and the global energy balance. Weather is nothing more than an energy transfer from the equator to the poles. The earth"s axis is tilted 23 degrees. The tilt is what allows for different seasons during different parts of the year- based off which portion of the earth is receiving more sunlight. The fate of solar radiation in the earth-atm system. Different surfaces absorb different amounts of incoming shortwave radiation. Some is absorbed, some is back scattered and sent back into space in short wave form, some is reflected back into space in short wave form.
