The time of maximum daily temperature occurs
 
  A) after the time of maximum insolation, because an energy surplus accumulates in the atmosphere while the Sun is still high in the sky and reaches a peak in mid-afternoon.
  B) before the time of maximum insolation, because the residual heat energy left over in the atmosphere from the previous day adds to the energy supplied by insolation.
  C) at the same time that maximum insolation occurs, because that is when maximum energy is available for heating the air.
  D) after the time of maximum insolation, because the ground starts to reflect heat energy in the late afternoon, and this creates an energy surplus.
  E) before the time of maximum insolation occurs, because the thermosphere transfers heat energy to the surface during the early morning hours as the D and E layers in the ionosphere become active.

Question 2

The relationship between insolation and air temperature through the course of day indicates that
 
  A) air temperature reaches a maximum afternoon, whereas insolation reaches a maximum at noon.
  B) air temperature reaches a minimum at midnight when no insolation is received.
  C) air temperature maximum and minimums are not related to insolation.
  D) the point of highest insolation corresponds to the warmest time of day.
  E) air temperature reaches a maximum at noon when insolation also reaches a maximum.
