1. Types of Reasoning * Inductive Reasoning – * general conclusion based on a limited collection of specific observations * educated guesses * Primary flaw – we cannot be sure the conclusion is always correct * Counterexamples -- show a conclusion reached through inductive reasoning is not true * Deductive Reasoning – * making a specific conclusion based on a collection of generally accepted assumptions. * There are no counterexamples

Activity 1. Set the dew point to 20°F. When the temperature is 35°F‚ what is the altitude of the cloud? 3400ft At what temperature does a cloud form at 9500 feet? 62F 2. Set the temperature to 70°F. What happens to the altitude of the cloud as you raise the dew point from 20°F to 65°F? Why? The cloud base gets lower. 3. Based on your observations‚ what is more important to determining the altitude at which the cloud will form‚ the actual temperature or the relationship of the temperature

62° below the celestial equator) and a right ascension of 14h 29.7m. 2. Altitude-Azimuth • Altitude is the angular distance‚ measured from 0 to 90 degrees‚ of a celestial object above the observer’s horizon. Azimuth is the compass angle from due N to the location of the celestial object. Astronomers prefer the right ascension-declination coordinate system because these values remain unchanged over time‚ whereas the altitude and azimuth values will be different from one location to another‚ and they

The atmosphere becomes thinner and thinner with increasing altitude‚ with no definite boundary between the atmosphere and outer space. The Kármán line‚ at 100 km (62 mi)‚ or 1.57% of the Earth’s radius‚ is often used as the border between the atmosphere and outer space. Atmospheric effects become noticeable

of rising‚ unsaturated air is about 10 degrees C/1000 meters (5.5 F per 1000 feet) altitude. If a parcel of air is at 24 C at sea level‚ and it rises to 1000 meters‚ its temperature will go down to 14 C. If it goes up to 2000 meters‚ its temperature will go down to 4 C. What will its temperature be at 3000 meters? 1_________________ This rate of temperature change of unsaturated air with changing altitude is called the dry adiabatic lapse rate: the rate of change of the temperature of rising

Optimum growth criteria are described in terms of mean annual temperature (MAT) and mean annual precipitation (MAP). In order to relate optimum growth criteria to altitude‚ the relationship between altitude range and MAT class is defined for 11 forest economic zones in the summer rainfall regions of South Africa. It is envisaged that expressing

Ancient lineages across the Drakensberg Alpine Centre and their plight for conservation. 1. Introduction: With many recent studies showing that the current global rates of biodiversity loss are cause for alarm‚ it is important to recognize regions in which biodiversity is especially high and under threat from human expansion and climate change. The combinations of biodiversity assemblages along the Escarpment form nodes of high local endemism that have contributed towards the concept of ‘centers

Shading: Shadow Angles When attempting to shade a window‚ the absolute azimuth and altitude of the Sun are not as important as the horizontal and vertical shadow angles relative to the window plane. These can be calculated for any time if the azimuth and altitude of the Sun are known. Horizontal Shadow Angle (HSA) This is the horizontal angle between the normal of the window pane or the wall surface and the current Sun azimuth. The normal to a surface is basically the direction that surface

An altitude of a prism is a perpendicular segment that joins the planes of the basses. The height of a prism is the length of an altitude. In a right prism‚ the lateral faces are rectangles and a lateral edge is an altitude. In an oblique prism‚ some or all of the lateral faces are nonrectangular. XII. Lateral Area Lateral area of a prism is the sum of the
