What is a cloudburst? A cloudburst is sudden copious rainfall. It is a sudden aggressive rainstorm falling for a short period of time limited to a small geographical area. Meteorologists say the rain from a cloudburst is usually of the shower type with a fall rate equal to or greater than 100 mm (4.94 inches) per hour. Generally cloudbursts are associated with thunderstorms. The air currents rushing upwards in a rainstorm hold up a large amount of water. If these currents suddenly cease‚ the

according to the dominant taxon in a layer of tree‚ for example like palm savannas or pine savannas. A tropical wet and dry climate mostly makes up areas covered by savanna growth. Monthly temperatures are roughly above 64 degrees. Yearly precipitation ranges between 30-50 inches. For at least five months of the year‚ during the dry season‚ it rains less than 4 inches a month. The dry season is related with the low sun periods. Soils vary according to bedrock and other situations. In general

HOW WEATHER EFFECTS PEOPLE How weather effects peoples lives and activities. Weather‚ is the day to day change in conditions including the changes in the atmosphere‚ these changes include temperature‚ levels of precipitation‚ wind speed‚ wind direction and the change in air pressure. These measurements are usually taken and recorded at least once a day. Weather is the day-to-day changes in Earths atmospheric conditions. Climate‚ is the average conditions for an area or country recorded over a

GRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS OF A CHLORIDE SALT (2013) Report By: ____________ Lab Partner: ___________ Group: CHEM 1001 Tuesday AM‚ Group H Purpose: This lab was conducted in order to determine the content of chloride in an unknown salt‚ using gravimetric analysis. Theory: The salt chloride content is easy to find because it is slightly soluble‚ making it possible to turn it into a precipitate. A precipitate reaction can be done using silver

Global warming can have more of the adverse effect. Some of them can be summarized in following points: • Global warming melts the ice peaks which increase the level of sea. • Increase in sea level greatly disturbs the marine life . • Precipitation patterns changes turning lush green areas to dry lands • Increase in sea level also results floods in low-lying areas and hence loss of life and property in large numbers • Cause changes in weather patterns creating storms‚ super storms

weathering in addition to moisture can even dissolve some of the minerals in the rock. This is known as chemical weathering and can also affect the stability of rocks. In some cases‚ heavy rains can cause mass wasting events. These large amounts of precipitation can large amount of pressure causing rock slides (National Park Service‚ 2003). An arid climate can encounter a large amount of mass wasting even though there is considerably less rainfall. One reason for this is because of a lack of vegetation
