The Great Barrier Reef is special because it is by far the largest reef in the world. It is consisted of around 2,900 individual reefs. The size of this reef is approximately as the size of Germany. There are over 900 islands that are stretched over 2,600 km along the the reef. The Great Barrier Reef is so marking and big, that even though it is below water it can actually be seen from space. The ecological importance of this reef is enormous as it is a home for thousands of species, with approximately 10% of all fish species in the world living in it. Because of its beauty and numerous attractions, the Great Barrier Reef is one of the most visited tourist destinations, and the Australian economy manages to generate between 5 and 6 billion Australian Dollars annually from it. Unfortunately, all of the human activity has been affecting this reef very negatively, and little by little part of it is dying out.
A large area of the earth's crust will go through a downwarping process that creates a(n) basin. Downwarp is a broad depression of the earth's surface. Basins resemble synclines, but the beds dip uniformly in all directions toward the center of the structure. They are caused by downwarping.
Air pollution is an example of a environmental hazard. Air pollution is caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Pollution is also caused by the gases released from factories and cars. Air pollution leads to many breathing problems, one being asthma. It can also cause global warming. Last, some of the harmful chemicals can cause acid rain. These are a few of the many effects of air pollution.
When the price of oil drops this usually means that OPEC or a major state within OPEC like Saudi Arabia, or Venezuela has increased the supply of oil leading to a drop in price. This is the current policy of the Saudi Government which has led to a drastic decline in oil prices over the last 3 to 4 months.
Answer:
107,768 ft³/hr
Explanation:
Given that :
FIELD A:
Runoff Coefficient (C1) = 0.55
Field size (s1) = 3 acre
FIELD B:
Runoff Coefficient (C2) = 0.75
Field size (s2) = 5 acre
Rainfall intensity (I) = 5.5 in/hr
We need to convert ;
Field size to ft²
1 acre = 43560 ft²
s1 = 3 acre = 43560 * 3 = 130,680 ft²
s2 = 5 acre = 43560 * 5 = 217,800 ft²
Rainfall intensity to ft/hr
1 inch = 0.0833 ft
5.5 in/ hr = (0.0833 * 5.5) ft/hr = 0.45815 ft/hr
Peak flow :
(C1 * s1 * I) + (C2 * s2 * I)
(0.55 * 130680 * 0.45815) + (0.75 * 217800 * 0.45815)
32929.0731 + 74838.8025
= 107767.8756 ft³/hr
