The explanation is given below
<u>Explanation:</u>
Hawaii's Big Island:
Mountain barriers play a significant role in modifying the air masses and topography affects the distribution of precipitation.
The orographic effect takes place on Hawaii's Big Island (i.e) the rising air makes the windward side of the mountains rainy and leeward side of the mountains dry.
Island of Maui:
In the Island of Maui, the high mean of rainfall is found on the windward side of the mountain slopes and the low mean of rainfall is found on the leeward lowlands and on upper slopes of the highest mountains.
They eat other snakes, including venomous snakes. They have developed a hunting technique to avoid being bitten by clamping down on the jaws of the venomous prey, but even if bitten, they are immune to the venom. They also eat amphibians, turtle eggs, lizards, and small mammals, which they kill by constriction.
Answer: the capillaries.
<span>The blood capillaries are blood vessels with very small caliber. They form the blood distribution and collection network in cells. They are the communication between branches
originating from the arteries and with the smaller
veins. It is on the walls of the capillaries that occurs <span>the exchange of water, oxygen, CO2,
other nutrients and chemical residues.</span></span>
Answer:
Groundwater
Explanation:
Groundwater, which is in aquifers below the surface of the Earth, is one of the Nation's most important natural resources. Groundwater is the source of about 33% of the water that county and city water departments supply to households and businesses (public supply).
Nestled at the edge of the arid Great Basin and the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains in California, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake that covers over 70 square miles and supports a unique and productive ecosystem. The lake has no fish; instead it is home to trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies. Freshwater streams feed Mono Lake, supporting lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow along their banks. Along the lakeshore, scenic limestone formations known as tufa towers rise from the water's surface. Millions of migratory birds visit the lake each year.
From 1941 until 1990, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) diverted excessive amounts of water from Mono Basin streams. Mono Lake dropped 45 vertical feet, lost half its volume, and doubled in salinity.
The Mono Lake Committee, founded in 1978, led the fight to save the lake with cooperative solutions. We continue our protection, restoration, and education efforts today with the support of 16,000 members --and we host this Website.
In 1994, after over a decade of litigation, the California State Water Resources Control Board ordered DWP to allow Mono Lake to rise to a healthy level of 6,392 feet above sea level--twenty feet above its historic low. It is rising toward that goal -- click here for the current lake level, or visit one of the other links on this page for more of the Mono Lake story.
