Evaporation

The ocean circulation can be defined like the global movement of water, which occurs in the ocean basins. These movement of water are the ocean currents, which plays an important role in the climate since store and distribute heat, microorganisms like nutrients and freshwater all over the world. Therefore, any change that modifies the ocean circulation will alter drastically the global climate. In this section it will be broadly explained the factors, which determine the ocean circulation and a…

soil-root water potential difference is usually higher than the root-leaf potential difference. The evaporation process draws water from the stomata leaf cells. This water is hydraulically connected by cohesion forces to a continuous column of water up the root. When water draws from the stomata, a flux goes through the xylem to…

Describe a procedure used to assess the nature and extent of a sport injury ( ½ pages) (provide characteristics and features) TOTAPS is an acronym that is used when an athlete is injured and needs to be assessed. When the athlete gets injured you need to ask them questions and talk to them, things like how it happened? Where it hurts? Etc., by doing this you can gather valuable information about the injury; this is Talk (T) the first step complete. The next step is to observe (O) the athlete,…

linked to the Atlantic by two narrow straits. Crustal movements closed the straits, and the landlocked Mediterranean began to evaporate. Increasing salinity caused by the evaporation resulted in the extermination of scores of invertebrate species. Only a few organisms especially tolerant of very salty conditions remained. As evaporation continued, the remaining brine (salt water) became so dense that the calcium sulfate of the hard layer was precipitated. In the central deeper part of the basin,…

In the novel Z for Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien, Ann lives in a valley with a self-contained weather system, referred to in the story as a "meteorological enclave." This valley is completely unaffected by the weather outside; therefore, it is protected from the radiation fallout after the nuclear war. After reading the novel, a question that rose was whether a meteorological enclave was theoretically possible? I concluded that that a theoretical meteorological enclave is possible, after…

Hurricanes originate from warm sea water and since shallow coastal waters tend to lack cold water, it can diffuse storm power. The evaporation of water from the ocean creates condensation and thus releases latent heat from evaporation, resulting in a storm and further to a hurricane. Also Louisiana has several wetland areas, and due to the construction of levees and flood walls, these back-swamps no longer receive sediments. This…

high amount of sand content means that there is a lack of nutrients in the soil due to sand not being negatively charged compared to clay like soils and no mulch to stop evaporation on hot days. To fix this i would add organic matter (eg. gypsum or compost) to the soil to help nutrients and also add mulch to stop the evaporation. Add clay to the soil to help with nutrients because clay is negatively charged which attracts nutrients. 3.When it rains, my soil becomes waterlogged and many of my…

Al Gore’s book Truth to Power explains a climate crisis. The author explains how one problem can affect another, thus causing a domino effect on different places of the world. He explains how a climatic problem can affect millions of people, livestock, and businesses. Al Gore really makes the reader think once he or she begins reading his book, it helps the reader to be more aware of the conditions around him or her, and understand that his or her choices can harm another without even knowing it…

Hurricanes are benefitting from the effects of climate change. Humans should be concerned about how climate change intensifies natural disasters, more specifically hurricanes, for it affects our lives and the environment. Places susceptible to hurricanes, such as the Gulf of Mexico and Eastern Pacific Ocean, will be hit by more intense storms in the future if we are not mindful of how to slow down climate change. Hurricanes are formed when the moist air from the surface of oceans rise and…

wildlife habitat. The construction of the Aswan Dam created Lake Nasser. This lake sits in an area where rainfall is rare, so the rate of its evaporation is perhaps higher than that of African lakes in cooler areas. Besides this, Egypt has tapped into the lake and created smaller lakes in the Sahara Desert to supply water to agricultural projects. The evaporation of water from Lake Nasser and the other lakes created in the Sahara could be significant factors in moderating…
