Q1: The temperature of deserts varies very strongly from day to night; it varies somewhat in inland places; it varies very little near large bodies of water. All aspects of transport and storage of energy play a role in creating the difference between the two environments. What role is played by radiation of light?


Q2: The temperature of deserts varies very strongly from day to night; it varies somewhat in inland places; it varies very little near large bodies of water. All aspects of transport and storage of energy play a role in creating the difference between the two environments. What role is played by the differing ability of different materials to store thermal energy?


Q3: The temperature of deserts varies very strongly from day to night; it varies somewhat in inland places; it varies very little near large bodies of water. All aspects of transport and storage of energy play a role in creating the difference between the two environments. What role is played by changes of phase?


Q4: The temperature of deserts varies very strongly from day to night; it varies somewhat in inland places; it varies very little near large bodies of water. All aspects of transport and storage of energy play a role in creating the difference between the two environments. What role is played by convection?


Q5: The temperature of deserts varies very strongly from day to night; it varies somewhat in inland places; it varies very little near large bodies of water. All aspects of transport and storage of energy play a role in creating the difference between the two environments. What role is played by conduction of thermal energy?
