The energy of incident solar radiation reaching the surface of the earth declines toward the poles from its maximum in equatorial regions. One cause of this phenomenon is greater absorption of solar energy by the earth's atmosphere at high latitudes. Why is this?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Cold air absorbs more solar radiation than warm air
  2. The earth's atmosphere is thicker at higher latitudes
  3. Solar radiation travels a longer path through the earth's atmosphere at higher latitudes
  4. Smoke and other particulates accumulate at higher latitudes, making the atmosphere more absorptive

N2 combines with hydrogen to form ammonia under elevated temperature (about 200°C) and high pressure (about 200 atmospheres) and in the presence of a metal catalyst (usually iron). The extreme conditions are required to overcome the high activation energy of the reaction. This nitrogen fixation reaction, called
