**The hydrologic cycle begins with the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. As moist air is lifted‚ it cools and water vapor condenses to form clouds. Moisture is transported around the globe until it returns to the surface as precipitation. Once the water reaches the ground‚ one of two processes may occur; 1) some of the water may evaporate back into the atmosphere or 2) the water may penetrate the surface and become groundwater. Groundwater either seeps its way to into the oceans

Assume that you have 100 years of continuous temperature records from your local weather service office. Discuss some of the difficulties you might have trying to determine whether average temperatures have increased during this period. Our book indicated that one of the difficulties is that reporting systems have changed so much over time. Other things to consider are things such as time of observation adjustments‚ adjustments for changing equipment‚ and adjustments for changing site locations

Experiment 4: Qualitative Analysis of Cations and Precipitation Reactions The overall goal of experiment four was to determine the identity of unknown cations presented to the student. But in order to know the identity of these unknowns‚ in part 1‚ Ag+‚ Pb+‚ and Hg22+ were presented to the student in aqueous solutions and then precipitated through experimentation. In part 2‚ the same procedure was enacted to determine which substances precipitated through qualitative analysis. Solubility rules

The climate is varied throughout the country‚ characterized by hot summer and cold winter. The rainfall occur in the upper parts of the Pakistan is usually from the Western Disturbance. From June to September most of the country is lashed by the South West Monsoon. Pakistan has recorded one of the highest temperatures in the world Mohenjo-daroo

THE HOT‚ WET EQUATORIAL CLIMATE Distribution -Is found between 5° and 10°N and S of the equator. Its greatest extent is found in the lowlands of the Amazon‚ Congo D.R‚ Malaysia and the East Indies. -Further away from the equator‚ the influence on the on-shore Trade Winds gives rise to a modified type of equatorial climate with the Monsoon influences. -Within the tropics‚ the equatorial highlands have a distinctively cooler climate‚ modified by altitude such as the Cameron highlands‚ northern

believe that driving an automobile is similar in every season‚ but experienced motorists are likely to know that winter and summer offer different pleasures and challenges. The most obvious distinctions between the seasons are the temperature‚ precipitation and amount of daylight. Each of these variables can change driving conditions dramatically. Indeed‚ some drivers even refrain from driving in certain weather. Fortunately‚ both seasons do have advantages so drivers can enjoy the road if they respect

phases of water and phase changes of water. Water vapor is extremely important in the atmosphere for many reasons. A few of those reasons include Water vapor transforms into both liquid and solid cloud particles that grow and fall to Earth as precipitation. When water vapor condenses in the formation of clouds‚ large amounts of heat - calledlatent heatis released into the atmosphere. Latent heat is an important source of energy in the development of thunderstorms and hurricanes. Water vapor strongly

climatograms that we were given our local climatogram most resembled the mid latitude (temperate) grassland biome of Lawrence‚ Kansas . I arrived at this conclusion by comparing the two climatogram graphs and noticing a striking resemblance. The precipitation and temperature were almost exactly the same. Although they have similar qualities‚ the two climatograms also have many distinct differences. In our local biome we can observe that there is more rain in the summer months. We also that the temperature
