Precipitation

Condensation was evident at the top of the bottle, and so were water droplets (which, of course, was precipitation). During the first week of the experiment, the test results were as follows: dissolved oxygen – 14 ppm, Nitrates (NO3) – 0 ppm, PO4 (Phosphate) – 200 (light blue color), pH – 7.5, and Total Alkalinity - 80. 7 milliliters of water were poured into…

degrees Fahrenheit to almost 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Animals around the northern part are coyotes, eagles, bobcats, gray wolf, and wild turkeys. For plants you usually find tall weeds, indiangrass, and switchgrass. Grasslands receive a low amount of precipitation of about 20-35 inches of rainfall. This can be found around the hotter areas of West Virginia like around the Eastern Panhandle. Finally, there is the tundra biome including the alpine biome. This is where the more harsh winters get…

(21°C), while winter temperatures are often well below freezing. The land has high levels of precipitation, humidity and contain a variety of deciduous trees. temperate deciduous forests are the second-rainiest biome. The average yearly precipitation is 30 - 60 inches (75 - 150 cm). This precipitation falls throughout the year, but in the winter it falls as snow. The average temperature …

all of the different types of biomes. The typical temperature in the tundra is about minus 18 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s very cold, but it gets even colder there in the winter! It’s actually very dry in the tundra as they receive about as much precipitation, or moisture, as the average desert, and it’s mostly in the form of snow. It’s also barren and treeless partly because it lacks the nutrients needed to support plants and animals. All year it has permafrost just below the top layer of soil,…

or removing, a wide area of trees where the land is thereafter converted and changed to a non-forest use. Up until recently, the distribution of global vegetation was traditionally thought to be determined by local climate factors, especially precipitation and radiation (Shakula, Nobre, Sellers 1). Many scientists have done research and experiments and have come to the conclusion that the occupancy and vacancy of plants and trees has an effect on the climate in that particular region. Something…

dolomite has heat and pressure added. This is because Boston often has inclement weather and dolomitic marble is the type of marble that can deal with bad weather the most easily. For example Boston has 137 days with precipitation per year and at least 3 inches of precipitation on average per month. Also dolomitic marble is an attractive stone so people would be drawn to see the monument. . Therefore the monument would have to be something that people see as nice to look at and able to…

have been quite minor, but I used to live out in the desert with lots of wilderness around 2. The area I’m in is a more desert biome, outside or by a school with a large patch of desert. The typical temperature is Hot and I would expect minor precipitation to fall there in the month of my visit. The soil type is dry dirt and is very dusty, as well as the area around me is very barren. I chose a site on a slope without a water drainage feature. 3. I expected to find lots of shrubs, cactus,…

relationship could be discovered between the rainfall and runoff data of the watershed area with the urbanization of the city. The problem at hand was to cross reference the development of Santa Cruz with the patterns of the local water data. Real precipitation and stream flow data within the San Lorenzo Watershed where studied from January to December of 2000 and 2010. I accumulated several tables and figures to exemplify my point that there indeed was a link present. Urbanization affected the…

An Occluded Front is a cold front that overtakes a warm front and the two fronts combine into one front. The chapter also explains how when it appears on a surface weather map that it is defined by a purple line that has alternating cold-front triangles and warm-front half circles, of which both figures run in the direction of the way the front is moving. There are two types of occluded fronts, the first is called a Cold Occlusion with the second being a Warm Occlusion. A cold occlusion is a…

likely to appear with today’s global warming that have not existed before California citizens relied on the large amount of greenhouse gases. Combinations of unusual warm temperatures for California weather and stagnant air conditions, the loss of precipitation has produced a dangerous uproar with incidents relevant to air pollution, wildfires, and increased evaporation. The high increase in evaporation rates gradually lead to greater drying of soils and vegetation, having the potential to…
