Multiple Choice
With reference to the figure above,which of the following best describes the occurrence of the time of maximum daily temperature?
A) It occurs at the same time that maximum insolation occurs,because that is when maximum energy is available for heating the air.
B) It occurs 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) It occurs 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.
D) It occurs 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.
