Weather and Climate Change Lab 5 - Demonstration 1: Modeling the Water Cycle POST LAB QUESTIONS 1. Which water cycle processes are represented in this model and by what components? Answer = Evaporation‚ condensation‚ sublimation‚ and precipitation. 2. Which processes are not represented? How could the model be altered to include these processes? Answer = Transpiration‚ surface run-off‚ infiltration‚ and percolation. With or by adding sand and possibly plants to the assignment would

means that they will have a controlled burn so more sun can get through the darker areas. This burn will also help direct the underground water to the trees that need it the most. The hopeful news about the sequoias is that this severe lack of precipitation is not causing a large amount of them to die‚ unlike other trees in the same

d.). For instance‚ the impact of climate change on the water cycle is seen in the melting of glaciers and ice caps‚ it is seen in the evaporation of rivers and lakes‚ etc. Additionally‚ if we look at ecosystems‚ the changes in temperatures and precipitation affect life on the planet in various ways. The interconnection of the

The Green Movement Purpose: The purpose of this lab report is to demonstrate how changes in abiotic factor such as changes in precipitation patterns can influence plant populations. Introduction: During this observation I was observe ring the plant species called Kentucky Blue Grass. In this observation I will show how changes in the weather can affect the population of the grass. I will also explain how this may have some effect on Global Warming as well. Hypothesis: My hypothesis of

a three-day national mourning period. “The storm was one of the worst to hit any part of Portuguese territory in a century: on one Saturday it rained 114 litres per square metre in just five hours in Funchal‚ which receives an average annual precipitation of 750 litres per square metre.” The torrential rain‚ along with Madeira’s terrain of steep slopes slanting down towards the coast‚ were the cause of the creation of rivers of mud that uprooted everything in their way‚ bringing along boulders

1) In this article the author talks about impacts on civilizations from small and large climate changes. We have had several small climate changes in our past that affected agriculture‚ trade routes‚ and the types of products and commodities that sell. These things are occurring still to this day. But‚ larger climate changes have done a lot more damage in the past. They have cause the rise and fall of whole societies. For example‚ the Mayan Empire. It was believed to have fallen from decades of drought

Darrell M. Bell Mrs. Felicia Curry English IV 1/3/12 Tornadoes are also popularly called twisters or cyclones and are characterized by rapidly rotating columns of air hanging from cumulonimbus clouds. (1) They are generally observed as tube- or funnel-shaped clouds. At ground level they usually leave a path of destruction only about 50 m (170 ft) wide and travel an average of only about 8 to 24 km (5 to 15 mi). Contact with the ground is often of an intermittent nature lasting for a period

Tornados A tornado can start when a large Cumulonimbus cloud forms . Cumulonimbus clouds form squall lines that exist as individual towers Squall lines are lines that form in front of a cold front in front of the storm that contains precipitation‚tornadoes‚hail‚ After the clouds combine‚ vigorous updrafts start to form and the clouds can grow to a height of 39‚000 ft. The clouds are made of water droplets. When the temperature in the atmosphere decreases to 32 degrees Fahrenheit‚ ice

It is North of the Arabian Peninsula. Aleppo has an annual precipitation of 13 inches a year. The average temperature of the city is 63.1°F. The combination of the moderate temperature and low amounts of rainfall cause the city to be dry.(Climates) The city is 75 miles away from the mediterranean sea. Aleppo is mostly

climate different from weather? Weather can change from hour-to-hour‚ day-to-day‚ and season-to-season. It may rain for an hour and then become sunny and clear. It includes wind‚ temperature‚ humidity‚ atmospheric pressure‚ cloudiness‚ sunshine and precipitation. Climate is the average weather for a particular region over a long time period. Climate describes the total of all weather occurring over a long period of years in a given place. This includes average weather conditions‚ regular weather seasons
