What is "lake-effect" and how does it make snow storms worse

Physics

Is produced during cooler atmospheric conditions when a cold air mass moves across long expanses of warmer lake water. The lower layer of air, heated up by the lake water, picks up water vapor from the lake and rises up through the colder air above; the vapor then freezes and is deposited on the leeward (downwind) shores.[1]

The same effect also occurs over bodies of salt water, when it is termed ocean-effect or bay-effect snow. The effect is enhanced when the moving air mass is uplifted by the orographic influence of higher elevations on the downwind shores. This uplifting can produce narrow but very intense bands of precipitation, which deposit at a rate of many inches of snow each hour, often resulting in a large amount of total snowfall.

The areas affected by lake-effect snow are called snowbelts. These include areas east of the Great Lakes, the west coasts of northern Japan, the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, and areas near the Great Salt Lake, Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Baltic Sea, Adriatic Sea, and North Sea.

Titanium's specific heat capacity is 0. 523 j/g*k. how many joules of heat are required to raise the temperature of 2. 50g of ti
ad-work [718]

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature is 706.05J.

To find the answer, we need to know more about the specific heat capacity.

<h3>How to find the heat required to raise the temperature?</h3>
  • Specific heat can be defined as, the amount of heat needed to increase a substance's temperature by one degree for every gram.
  • We have the expression for amount of heat required to raise the temperature from T1 to T2 as,

                                 Q=msΔT

  • We have given with the following values,

                 m=2.50g=2.50*10^{-3}kg\\s=0.523 J/gK=\frac{0.523}{10^{-3}} J/kgK=523J/kgK\\T_1=65^0C=338K\\T_2=600^0C=873K\\

  • Thus, the amount of heat required to raise the temperature is,

            Q=2.5*10^{-3}*523*(873-333)=706.05 J

Thus, we can conclude that, the amount of heat required to raise the temperature is 706.05J.

Answer:

use the bowl of water because Earth's magnetic field is relatively weak. Allowing it to float freely on the water, allows the magnetized needle to freely react to Earth's magnetic field, causing it to align North to South. If you watched closely, the same end of the needle should always point to the North
