Mount Manaro is a \'Olcano on Ambae Island, about 1400 miles northeast of Australia. Ambae Island is located In the South Pacific Ocean at l:S0 south latitude 168° east longitude. . '

After Mount Manaro had erupted in 1995, Ambae Island residents developed au evacuation plan. When Mount Manaro began erupting gas, steam, and ash on November 27, 2005, scientists and residents watched the volcano carefully. a n became more severe on December 9, 2005, when steam and gases ros p into the air. Rocks and ash began to fall on nearby farms and homes. Tho people left their homes, making it the largest evacuation ever on Ambae Island.

Average temperatures on Earth are primarily the result of the total amount of insolation absorbed by Earth's surface and atmosphere compared to the amount of long-wave energy radiated back into space. Scientists believe that the addition of greenhouse gases into Earth's atmosphere gradually increases global temperatures.

Base your answers to questions 63 through 65 on the experiment description and diagram below.

A student was interested in how tbe angle of insolation affects absorption of radiation. 'The student took three black metal plates, each containing a built-in thennometer, and placed them at the same distance from three identical lamps. The plates were tilted so that the light from the lamps created three different angles of incidence with the center of the plates, as shown in the diagram. 'The starting tempera-tures of the plates vvere recorded. -The lamps were turned on for 10 minutes. TI1en the final temperatures were recorded.
