Introduction In this paper‚ I have selected water‚ one of the material cycles studied. It is not conceivable of life without water. Inquiry after inquiry to find another life on other planets is premised on the notion that if scientists can find signs of water on any planet in our universe‚ then there is the possibility of life‚ such as mars. a.What are the most considerable impacts you make? We know how the heat from the Sun leads to evaporation through rays on the oceans and seas. When water evaporates

Vocabulary: Climate-the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region‚ as temperature‚ air pressure‚ humidity‚ precipitation‚ sunshine‚ cloudiness‚ and winds‚ throughout the year‚ averaged over a series of years. (Dictionary.com) Climate Ratio-The climate ratio is used to describe how moist a climate is. It compares the precipitation (P) with the potential evapotranspiration (Ep) for a region.( http://www.kgbanswers.com) Climograph-a graphic representation of the relation

bringing more and more air up. The Indian Ocean gets hot as well; this makes water to evaporate and making the air humid. As this humid hot air reaches the Tibetan Plateau‚ the Orographic effect occurs creating condensation‚ and therefore storms and precipitation‚ this makes the wet season. On the other hand the opposite happens during dry season. Because of the height and extent of the Tibetan Plateau‚ it acts as a mechanical barrier for upper tropospheric western winds. In addition‚ the lowering of

year-after-year conditions of temperature and precipitation in a particular region. Both climate and weather are dynamic – they change with time. Weather & Climate Definitions Weather- “the state of the atmosphere with respect to heat or cold‚ wetness or dryness‚ calm or storm‚ clearness or cloudiness”. Climate – “the average course or condition of the weather at a place usually over a period of years as exhibited by temperature‚ wind velocity‚ and precipitation” Main points to remember as we learn

Animals hunker down‚ able to find only enough food to keep warm. The tundra is an unusually cold and dry climate. Precipitation totals 6-10 inches of rain a year‚ which includes melted snow. This is almost as little as the world’s driest deserts. Coupled with strong and drying winds‚ the tundra is an extreme weather biome. The tundra seems like a wet and soggy place because the precipitation that falls evaporates slowly‚ and because of the poor drainage caused by the permafrost. You can find the tundra

A desert is a landscape or region of land that is very dry because of low rainfall amounts (precipitation)‚ often has little coverage by plants‚ and in which streams dry up unless they are supplied by water from outside areas.[1] Deserts can also be described as areas where more water is lost by evapotranspiration than falls as precipitation.[2] Desert plants must have special adaptations to survive with this little water. Deserts take up about one third (33%) of the Earth’s land surface.[3] Bottomlands
