Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
There is 51 of incoming sunlight absorbed by land and water on Earth. The amount of light
penetration in the ocean is dependent on the angle radiation is coming in, the amount of turbulence on
the ocean surface, and the presence of ice and foam. Information can be found in the section The
Atmosphere Moves in Response to Uneven Solar Heating and Earth's Rotation



Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Asia and Africa are dependent on the summer monsoon rains, but the strongest summer monsoons are
found in Asia. There can be as much as 10 meters of rainfall. Information can be found in the section
Atmospheric Circulation Generates Large-Scale Surface Wind Patterns.
