During a rainstorm, when soil becomes saturated, the amount of infiltration

The correct answer is - (2) decreases and runoff increases.

When there's a rainstorm that brings in a very large amount of rain, the soil very often becomes saturated (depending on the type of soil, some quicker some need much more time and water), so the infiltration starts to decrease, and the runoff increases. This is because the soil is limited in how much water it can absorb, and once the limit is passed it is not able to take anymore water in it, and that means that the water starts to run on the surface or just few few centimeters deep into the soil. Very often, because of this, landslides and mud-flows appear, and they usually have devastating effects.

Please 1) describe what is meant by the terms short-wave and long-wave energy, 2) name a specific type of electromagnetic energy
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

  1. wavelength difference
  2. ultraviolet, infrared
  3. shortwave = Sun; longwave = Earth

Explanation:

  1. The terms shortwave and longwave radiation refer to the wavelength of the radiation, which is the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of another. The wavelength reflects the energy of the wave. Longwave radiation is less energetic, while shortwave has more energy. Longwave radiation has even longer wavelengths than red light in the visible spectrum, while ultraviolet radiation has wavelengths shorter even than the shortest violet visible light.
  2. Ultraviolet is not the only kind of shortwave radiation; in fact, it is the shortwave radiation closest to visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum. X rays and gamma rays have far shorter wavelengths and thus are more energetic. Infrared radiation is the type of the longwave radiation that is closest to the visible spectrum. Radiation with much longer wavelengths than infrared light include microwaves and radio waves.
  3. The Sun produces its own radiation since it is a body that is much more massive and with a much higher temperature than the Earth. Because of this, the radiation emitted from the Sun is mostly shortwave radiation. The Earth emits radiation as well, but it is infrared radiation emitted in the form of heat that is not visible to human eyes.
