<u>Answer:</u>

If precipitation exceeds evaporation, water can run off and form wetlands.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • If in case the precipitation increases and transcends the rate of evaporation, the water that pours down through rains would ultimately run off to the oceans and would result in frequent coastal flooding.
  • This flooding would result in the formation of wetlands along the low-lying coasts due to the consistent penetrating action of the seawater into the coasts.
  • This flooding would increase with rising sea level and also cause the high-lying coasts to turn into wetlands.

If precipitation exceeds evaporation then water can run off the hillsides and form standing water in the depressions or on a larger scale can form lakes of various sizes if it is normal for precipitation to exceed evaporation for most of the year.

What is a bomb cyclone? And what impacts does it do?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

A bomb cyclone is basically a storm that can rival the strength of a hurricane. They're called bomb cyclones or "weather bombs" because of the process that creates them (bombogenesis) basically bombogenesis is a storm that undergoes rapid strengthening.

The word bombogenesis comes from two words: bomb and cyclogenesis. All storms are cyclones and genesis means the creation or beginning and in this case bomb means explosive development so all together it means explosive storm strengthening

Bomb cyclones happen more in winter months and can carry hurricane force winds, cause coastal flooding and HEAVY snow. Bomb cyclones happen when a quickly forming storm results in a drop in atmospheric pressure of at least 24 millibars.

Basically its like a hurricane but stronger sometimes. The wind and flooding make it more like a hurricane but the blizzards and snow make it stronger

Which of the following statements is true regarding proportion of land and oceans in the Southern and Northern Hemisphere? Which
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The Southern Hemisphere is dominated by oceans, relative to the Northern Hemisphere.

Explanation: The Southern Hemisphere is dominated by maritime influences, whereas the Northern Hemisphere is dominated by continentality.

The Southern Hemisphere has much less land than the Northern Hemisphere, resulting in weaker asymmetries at its lower boundary. A more zonally symmetric circulation, with smaller-amplitude stationary waves, is thus expected. Due to the larger fraction of the ocean, the seasonal cycle will also be muted. The seasonal change in surface temperature, for example, will be smaller than in the Northern Hemisphere.
