The amount of solar radiation that is absorbed into the earth’s surface is often transformed into thermal energy. We have covered a lot of things that we covered in this chapter and below is an isolation post-assessment test designed to refresh your memory on what you have understood so far. Give it a try and be better prepared for the See moreearth science regents.
