  The Sahara desert is huge, pretty much the size of the United States, and it is one of the most hostile places on the planet. The desert is vast, very dry, the landscape occupied by sand dunes and eroded rocks, vegetation and animal life is scarce, and there's almost no water in it. Also a big problem are the sand storms that can last for days or even weeks.

  Because of all this hostile conditions, people have always avoided passing through it because they would be risking their lives, and the chances that they will be able to get through it safely and unharmed are extremely low.

The Sahara desert is vast, large, dry, and empty of resources. This means people/armies wouldn't walk through there because it's basically suicide. This acts as a "natural barrier" because nobody would cross the desert in the first place.

Hope this helps!

Interview of tropical cyclone ​
xenn [34]
A tropical cyclone (TC) is a rotational low-pressure system in tropics when the central pressure falls by 5 to 6 hPa from the surrounding and maximum sustained wind speed reaches 34 knots (about 62 kmph). It is a vast violent whirl of 150 to 800 km, spiraling around a centre and progressing along the surface of the sea at a rate of 300 to 500 km a day.
The word cyclone has been derived from Greek word ‘cyclos’ which means ‘coiling of a snake’. The word cyclone was coined by Heary Piddington who worked as a Rapporteur in Kolkata during British rule. The terms "hurricane" and "typhoon" are region specific names for a strong "tropical cyclone". Tropical cyclones are called “Hurricanes” over the Atlantic Ocean and “Typhoons” over the Pacific Ocean. The reason is that the earth's rotation sets up an apparent force (called the Coriolis force) that pulls the winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere (and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere). So, when a low pressure starts to form over north of the equator, the surface winds will flow inward trying to fill in the low and will be deflected to the right and a counter-clockwise rotation will be initiated. The opposite (a deflection to the left and a clockwise rotation) will occur south of the equator.
This Coriolis force is too tiny to effect rotation in, for example, water that is going down the drains of sinks and toilets. The rotation in those will be determined by the geometry of the container and the original motion of the water. Thus, one can find both clockwise and counter-clockwise flowing drains no matter what hemisphere you are located. If you don't believe this, test it out for yourself.

With a mean annual discharge of 6,000 acre - feet/year at the springs, what would be the average transmissivity of the aquifer i
QveST [7]

Answer:

transmissivity =0.0001458235 m² / year

Explanation:

given data

discharge = 6,000 acre - feet/year = 0.001775566 cubic miles

width of aquifer = 1.8 miles

Gradient = 0.95%

to find out

what would be the average transmissivity of the aquifer

solution

we know that transmissivity formula that is

transmissivity = \frac{Q}{W*i}

here Q is discharge and W is width and i is gradient

so put here value

transmissivity = \frac{Q}{W*i}

transmissivity = \frac{0.001775566}{1.8*0.45}

transmissivity =0.0010383427 mile² / year

and we know 1 miles² = 2589988.11 m²

so

transmissivity =0.0001458235 m² / year
