Why do scientists classify climates according to precipitation instead of relative humidity?

Geography

Grace [21]3 years ago

Because it's easier to scale hustle then relative humidity. and high relative humidity and high precipitation rate are the associates. I should know because I grew up in both greater New Orleans, which is subtropical, and the Oklahoma panhandle, which is semi-arid 5% relative humidity or higher is normal in New Orleans. While 6% relative humidity is relatively familiar in the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles.

If you compress geologic time into a single year, how much time has elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: 3.6 seconds

Explanation: Geologic time is a way of measuring time based on events in the history of the Earth. If we compress this into one year, a single geologic year equals 4.6 billion years because the planet  was formed 4.6 billion years ago.  

Columbus arrived in the New World in August 1492, 528 years ago.

If 4.6 billion years = 1 year in geologic time,

528 years = 528 X  \frac{1X365daysX24hoursX60minutesX60seconds}{4600000000}

=3.6 seconds

<em>(I broke the year down into seconds by breaking it down into days, then hours, minutes and seconds because the value is very small)</em>

<em />

<em>So, if we compress geologic time into a single year, only 3.6 seconds have elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World</em>

24) Most of the precipitation that falls onto Earth's surface ________. A) is already unusable because of acid rain B) evaporate
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:C) either runs off to form rivers or filters down into underground aquifers

Explanation:Precipitation is any form of moisture which falls to the earth. This includes rain, snow, hail and sleet. Precipitation occurs when water vapour cools. When the air reaches saturation point (also known as condensation point and dew point) the water vapour condenses and forms tiny droplets of water.

In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity from clouds. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, ice pellets, graupel and hail. ... Short, intense periods of rain in scattered locations are called "showers."
