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

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

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

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

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.

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
