What does elevation effect on climate

Chemistry
1 answer:
HACTEHA [7]4 years ago
5 0
The higher in altitude the colder the temperature. Temp. drop 4°F every 1000 feet. That means that 75° at the bottom and 10000 feet up it will be 35°. This colder temp does affect plant growth but it also affects the soil which in turn affects plant growth. Mountain vegetation (depending on the elevation) is comparable to the vegetation in areas of high latitude. Areas found up in the northern regions are affected by the colder temp as are the soils - same happens in mountainous areas. You tend to see more evergreens and soils are more acidic and less rich (poor nutrients). You will also get your permafrosts. Eventually a treeline occurs - mountain tops become treeless as does the north arctic areas. You find mosses growing in and around the rocks with some shrubs whereever there is enough soil for the roots to take. "An increase in altitude, such as climbing a mountain is similar to heading north (in the northern hemisphere) plant and animal species will be similar at a mountain top to those which are further north.

How many moles of solute would be needed to form two liters of a one molar
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

2 moles of solute.

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as number of moles of solute present in one litre of solution.

Hence one molar solution of NaCl means 1 mole of NaCl is present in 1 litre of solution.

Molarity = \frac{Number of moles of solute}{volume of solution in litres}

For 1 litre of solution 1 mole of solute is required to make a one molar solution.

Hence for 2 litres of solution we require 2 moles of solute to keep it one molar.

What is k in the rate law equation?
REY [17]

Answer:

B. A rate constant

Explanation:

The mathematical expression of rate law is given below,

Rate = K[A]m[B]n

This rate law show the relationship between the rate of chemical reaction and concentration of reactants.

In given equation [A] and [B] are molar concentration of reactants while K represent rate constant.

The value of K is specific for particular reaction at particular temperature,

m and n are represent exponents and determine experimentally. The value of K is not depend upon the concentrations of reactant but depend upon the surface area and temperature

Which statements describe dark matter? Check all that apply. It is invisible. It is the same as dark energy. It is well understo
Alla [95]

Dark matter is invisible and does not emit electromagnetic radiation. Dark matter is part of a theory that hypothesis the existence of a counterpart to the particles we know in physics, in order to balance the universe that otherwise would be largely unbalanced right now. However, the theory right now is not yet proven.
