North-Western Mountainous Region: Winter sustains for eight months in these areas‚ at times mercury falls below 00 C. They receive rainfall during summers. 2. Upper Indus Plain: In these areas‚ it is extremely hot in the months of June and July‚ dust storms blow‚ tree leaves become dry and whither. In certain areas‚ temperature goes as high as 500 C. Winters‚ however‚ are short

The Ocean Floor No one has ever walked the sea floor and few have even seen it. This is because of the extreme conditions found there. It is dark‚ and the temperature is close to freezing. A person standing on the sea floor would be under tremendous pressure from the overlaying water. The pressure is hundreds of times greater than the atmospheric pressure. Such a force would crush the human body. Using research submersibles which are specially designed to with stand the pressure of the water‚ scientists

Flooding Natural causes of flooding are caused by heavy rainfall that causes a lot of damage. Heavy rainfall causes a lot of damage because the ground does not have enough time to Infiltrate itself and then that cause surface run off. Something else is if a valley has very steep hills/sides. Another thing is if you have rivers flowing in the country. Human causes are made by people cutting down trees(Deforestation). Bridges make the situation far more worse cars and trees would get stuck under

that positioned themselves to be heavily dependent on reservoirs for water. The Mayans made the decision to develop a civilization in a seasonal desert that depended on a consistent rainfall cycle to support agricultural production. Then‚ they engineered a reservoir system that ultimately depended on seasonal rainfall because much of the lowlands had only restricted natural groundwater resources. For agricultural strategies‚ the short-fallow slash-and-burn agriculture method‚ logging‚ and cattle

Fynbos is found predominantly in the the South Western Cape in an area extending from just south of Namaqualand in the north west to roughly around Port Elizabeth in the south east. It occurs in the winter rainfall region‚ where the average annual rainfall exceeds 400mm. In areas where the rainfall is very high‚ or falls all year round (such

Rainwater harvesting Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and deposition of rainwater for reuse before it reaches the aquifer. Uses include water for garden‚ water for livestock‚ water for irrigation‚ etc. In many places the water collected is just redirected to a deep pit with percolation. The harvested water can be used for drinking water as well if the storage is a tank that can be accessed and cleaned when needed. Advantages Rainwater harvesting provides an independent water supply during

Tutorial 1: How to plot and Interpret a Climograph. Q3: Dublin has a significantly low rainfall measure‚ although it is known as a rainy city‚ it more than likely won’t last long. I think it stays the same temperature because of its location in Ireland. Q4: The similarities between the Climographs for Plymouth and Krakow are that they have the most rainfall at the same time of the year‚ with the highest inch of rainfall beginning in May/June and hitting the highest in July. A difference between the two

Abstract If we live in a place that gets cold in the winter‚ we have probably seen trucks out spreading a mixture of sand and salt on the streets after a snowfall to help deice the road. Do we sometimes dump ice cubes into a drink to help keep cool on a hot summer day? Have we ever watched the ice cubes melt and wondered how we could make them melt more slowly—or even faster? In this science activity we will get to try some different‚ common household substances to try and answer this question:

Abstract Background the paper reviewed the innovative techniques in agricultural/rural insurance‚ which overcome some of the disadvantages of yield based group insurance and suggests rainfall (weather) index insurance as a better alternative/complement to the existing agricultural insurance scheme. The weather (rainfall) index based insurance is also more compatible with reinsurance practices worldwide‚ which make primary insurers to cover their local/regional risks by reinsuring themselves with international
