How does a closet Lake differ from an open Lake​

Geography
1 answer:
Sidana [21]3 years ago
7 0

<em>open lake </em>is a lake where water constantly flows out under almost all climatic circumstances. Because water does not remain in an open lake for any length of time, open lakes are usually fresh water: dissolved solids do not accumulate. Open lakes form in areas where precipitation is greater than evaporation. Because most of the world's water is found in areas of highly effective rainfall, most lakes are open lakes whose water eventually reaches the sea.

<em>closed lake </em>(see endorheic drainage), no water flows out, and water which is not evaporated will remain in a closed lake indefinitely. This means that closed lakes are usually saline, though this salinity varies greatly from around three parts per thousand for most of the Caspian Sea to as much as 400 parts per thousand for the Dead Sea. Only the less salty closed lakes are able to sustain life, and it is completely different from that in rivers or freshwater open lakes.

As the spacing between isobars increases, the horizontal pressure gradient force?
Tju [1.3M]

As the spacing between isobars increases, the horizontal pressure gradient force and wind speed decrease.

The closer the spacing of isobars, the stronger is the strain gra- dient force. The stronger the stress gradient pressure, the stronger is the wind. thus, intently spaced isobars mean strong winds; extensively spaced isobars imply lighter wind.

The relationship between isobar spacing and wind velocity is that the closer the isobar spacing then the stronger the wind velocity. The spacing among isobars represents a stress differential among those two isobars. when two isobars are nearer together then the stress changes at a greater rate over distance.

The lines around high and low strain on a climate map are called isobars, or lines of equal stress, as shown in the above image on the left. While isobars are near together it is very windy; while they are further aside, conditions are more calm. The wind around highs usually blows in a clockwise direction.

Contrast the perspectives of members of Congress and of Craig Holman about lobbying
Fynjy0 [20]

Members of Congress in the United States Congress represent the people of their district by holding hearings and developing and voting on legislation. "Lobbying" is the process of petitioning the government to influence public policy.

<h3>What is perspectives?</h3>
  • Many other perspectives help frame a distinctly geographic way of looking at the world, in addition to the two primary geographic perspectives, spatial and ecological.
  • When applied correctly, these additional perspectives broaden our understanding of spatial patterns and human-environment interaction.
  • Social geography focuses on societal divisions, initially class, ethnicity, and, to a lesser extent, religion; however, other factors, such as gender, sexual orientation, and age, have recently been added.
  • Geographic perspective allows us to consider the environmental, economic, political, and/or social implications of the issues, events, developments, and/or phenomena with which we live.
  • Recognize the natural and built environments, as well as the processes that shape and affect the earth.

Explain how plate tectonics have changed Earth’s surface over time. Include the role of plate tectonics in the creation of land
Rudiy27

Explanation:

The Earth is comprised of many plates that float on the hot magma in the mantle layer. They are constantly moving but its so slow we can't feel it. A long time ago, all the land on Earth was connected in one big continent named Pangaea. As the plates have moved the land has separated forming the continents.

When plates come together they cause friction between them. This causes the plates to push up forming a mountain. This was how the Himalayan mountains were formed.
