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

Geography
1 answer:
Grace [21]2 years ago
8 0
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.

1) of the 4 ways to transfer heat, conduction, radiation, convection and advection, which two are the primary forms of heat tran
padilas [110]

Answer:

Radiation and advection

Explanation:

  • Conduction: It happens when particles of matter are in direct contact, the adjacent atoms of higher energy vibrate against each other transferring energy from high to low temperature. Fluids and gases are less conductive than solids because their atoms have a greater distance. An example is the heat transferred between the electric burner of a stove and the bottom of a pan.
  • Convection: Is a heat transference between a surface and a liquid or gas in motion, as the fluid/gas travels faster the transferred heat increases. An example of this transfer takes place in a forced-air furnace and weather systems.
  • Advection: is similar to convection but the transfer of heat is lateral or horizontal. In the atmosphere this kind of transfer is common.
  • Radiation: is the transfer through empty space, it occurs without an intervening medium when microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light or another electromagnetic radiation is emitted or absorbed. An example is the sun warming the Earth.

Advection and radiation are the primary forms of heat transfer. Convection only happens in the troposphere because horizontal heat transfer (advection) is significantly bigger. The same happens with conduction that only transfers heat in the lower layers of the atmosphere, Sun's radiation, on the other hand, gets absorbed in all the atmosphere.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Which body of water is the nile river’s primary reservoir?
ahrayia [7]
The Blue Nile begins at Lake Tana in Ethiopia and flows into Sudan from the southeast. The two rivers meet just north of the Sudanese capital of Khartoum. The northern section of the river flows north almost entirely through the Sudanese desert to Egypt, then ends in a large delta and flows into the Mediterranean Sea.

Examine the path of the river that feeds into and flows out of Quail Lake. What direction is the North American plate moving in
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Virgin river, western direction.

Explanation:

  • As lake quail is a dammed river and lies directly over the San Andrea fault and transform boundary with the North American plate on the northward side and the pacific plate on the southern side and a stream rises in the Pine Valley Mountains and flows to the southeasterly direction.
  • The pacific plate is moving in the northwest direction due to the seafloor spreading from the eastern pacific rise. while the North America is being pushed to the southwest due to the spreading of the seafloor in the mid-Atlantic ridge.
