Why is the Pacific Northwest receives so much precipitation?

Chemistry

Answer: The high amount of humidity explains the impressive amount of rain that falls on the Pacific.

Explanation:

In the Pacific Northwest there is a wind current that travels from west to east. It enters the continent and hits a mountain range in a process called "orographic ascent". The jet ascends, <u>the humidity condenses, and the winds coming from the east meet in the opposite direction with this current and push the clouds.</u> That is why the rains are so strong on the Pacific coast. The high amount of humidity explains the impressive amount of rain that falls on the Pacific. When this moist wind blows inland, the moist air may rise into the atmosphere enhancing the clouds and strady rainfall.

Water evaporates from the ocean and is carried over the Northwest , where it cools and condense into the rain.

There is also a low-pressure systems at the surface which is the driving force that produce rain and winds and this allows large storms to crash into the coast with ease. Some of these storms can be enormous and can cause significant wind damage and flooding.

The Cascades rain shadow can be described as such: ocean-influenced moist air masses are forced to rise when they meet the tall moun- tains. The rising air cools, condenses, and the moisture falls as precipitation. On the leeward (dry) side of the mountain, the now dry air warms and sinks.

Answer:

Flushing goldfish down the toliet

Explanation:

This would help the planet because goldfish are a very evasive species that has been harming our natural enviroments lakes and rivers. Ever since people have been flushing them down the toliet including me since I've had over six they have been finding their ways into our ecosytem and damaging nature. You may think that goldfish are a cute and small pet species to keep in a fish tank but the fish can grow in the right conditons up to 16.1 inches long and can top over five pounds in the wild. Unfortunately most goldfish never thrive like this in fish tanks due to nasty inadequate housing and feeding conditions. And most do not live up to their expected life span in the wild of 15 to even thirty years due to their living conditons. Did you know, goldfish will actually jump out of their tank in a final desperate search for better living conditions and enviroment to live in to meet their physiological needs. But lets get back to the problem so don't be to quick to feel sorry for them, when people flush them down the toliet they repopulate somehow in our lakes and rivers. Even through, it is not clear how they got there, which the suspected culprit is the sewer system. They threaten the natural enviroment tho because they are obnivores and they eat a mixtures of plants and animal specimen. You are probrably thinking why is this a problem, well its because goldfish are particullary greedy eaters and will eat, eat, and feast on the natural envrioment they infestated. And the waste they leave on the enviroment will promote the growth of algae which could cause an extent of enviromental damage. Of course goldfish are not impacted by this algae growth for adaptation reasons which shield them. This is not the main problem tho the main problem of this is that female goldfish can produce up to 1000 eggs at a time. And to make things worse unlike other fish species where the parents of the eggs leave the eggs for predaetors and well the elements of nature the goldfish instead guard their nest foriciously from predaetors that eat fish eggs in which effectively shields the populations young from danger. And to just add to the chaos the goldfish sadly have no real natural predaetor in the unitedstates which just causes more problems since they have no one killing them. And did I mention that they could live up to a real possibility of thirty years. And that they are forocious eaters that could eat a variety of types of foods. All of these facts in the end lead to two things first stop flushing your pet goldfish down the toliet and secondly now you know how golfish impact our planet.

Transform boundaries are places where plates slide sideways past each other. At transform boundaries lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed. Many transform boundaries are found on the sea floor, where they connect segments of diverging mid-ocean ridges. California's San Andreas fault is a transform boundary. So its true

Try to make only one molecule of water in the simulation. Is it possible?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

A single molecule of water has been isolated for the first time by trapping it in a fullerene cage. Water molecules are never found alone — they are always hydrogen-bonded to other molecules of water or polar compounds.

While making small volumes of pure water in a lab is possible, it's not practical to “make” large volumes of water by mixing hydrogen and oxygen together. The reaction is expensive, releases lots of energy, and can cause really massive explosions.

A water molecule consists of three atoms; an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, which are bond together like little magnets. The atoms consist of matter that has a nucleus in the centre. The difference between atoms is expressed by atomic numbers.
