and evaporation are represented in the model. Condensation formed inside the jar and under the lid and the warm water evaporated. 2. Which processes are not represented? How could the model be altered to include these processes? Answer = Precipitation and infiltration did not get represented. I don’t think it could be altered to include the these in the process without different specimens such as water‚ ice or even soil. 3. How would the “weather” be affected if the water was at a decreased

condition of the soil. The model is described in detail in the National Engineering Handbook (NEH) (NRCS 2004). It was created based on the analysis of a large number of small and gauged agricultural watersheds throughout the US. Apart from the input precipitation‚ the method uses a single parameter‚ the CN to characterize the watershed. The CN quantifies the infiltration capacity and theoretically ranges between 0 (100% of the total

1) Which of the six colors of the rainbow is refracted the greatest? Out of the 7 colors of the rainbow‚ Violet is refracted the greatest. 2) What is a mirage and why does it always disappear as the observer gets closer? A mirage is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky. Mirages appear at very low viewing angles‚ when you are far away. As you approach‚ the viewing angle increases and the mirage disappears

“Urban areas have a significant impact on climatic characteristics.” discuss this statement (40 marks) The weather is often very different in urban areas than the surrounding rural areas‚ variations can occur in temperature‚ humidity‚ precipitation‚ visibility and air quality. The urban canopy layer is the areas just below roof level where processes take place between buildings and the urban boundary layer is the dome over an urban area which extends downwind. Temperature is one characteristic

Title: Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction Purpose: The purpose is to predict the amount of precipitation using stoichiometry. Another purpose is to measure and calculate percentage yield. Procedure: 1. Weigh out 1.0g of CaCl2*2H2O and put it into a 100mL beaker. 2. Add 25mL of distilled water and stir. 3. Using stoichiometry to determine how much Na2CO3 is needed for a full reaction. 4. Weigh the calculated amount and put it in a small paper cup. Add 25mL distilled water and stir

gravimetric analysis is used to determine an analyte by selective precipitation of the substance from an aqueous solution. The analyte‚ in this case‚ is sulphate. For a successful gravimetric analysis‚ barium sulphate must be completely precipitated so as to avoid contamination. The number of moles of sulphate can be found out from the mass of the barium sulphate. Since barium chloride is added in excess‚ and since the precipitation reaction is assumed to proceed to completion‚ we can assume that

Strange Clouds By: Amanda Oliver 02/03/13 Professor Sherry Queen Pad 17F Have you ever looked up into the sky and wondered why the clouds vary from shapes of dinosaurs‚ birds‚ a puff of cotton candy‚ or your neighbor’s face? Clouds take all kinds of different shapes‚ and as they roll across the sky they change. In meteorology‚ a cloud is a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body

Relative humidity has also a physiological significance‚ as it determines the efficiency of the water-evaporating phase of our body cooling mechanism. It is also an important source of all forms of condensation and precipitation‚ where there is little moisture in the air; the precipitation will be low as compared to high atmospheric moisture. As the air is a principal absorber of solar energy and earth radiant energy as well‚ water vapor operates as a heat regulator and so have great effects on air
