Answer:

The correct option is : B) much greater than    

Explanation:

Potential evaporation is defined as the ability of the atmosphere to carry out the process of evaporation from the surface of the earth.

Actual evaporation is the amount of water actually evaporated from the surface into the atmosphere.

Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the leaves, stems and the flowers of the plants into the atmosphere.

In the absence of plants, <u>transpiration becomes zero and thus, the ability of the atmosphere to carry out the process of evaporation increases.</u>

<u>Therefore, </u><u>potential evaporation</u><u> is much greater than the </u><u>actual evaporation, in the absence of plants.</u>

Explanation:

There are three countries through which the Zagros Mountains are stretching, those being Turkey, Iraq, and Iran. The majority of the Mountain range runs through Iran, making up big portion of the border with Iraq, as well as being a natural barrier at the southern coast of the country.

These mountains have elevation of over 4,400 meters above see level. They are responsible for the dry climate in Iran, as they are a big natural barrier for the air masses, so they create a rain shadow, making the interior of Iran very dry.

State how hurricanes are predicted
andrezito [222]
Hurricanes are predicted using a Saffir-Simpson Scale. This scale is used to measure the intensity of hurricane most often than not. However, it may be used to identify a hurricane as well. A hurricane is categorised based on the wind speeds.  

74 - 95 mph --> category 1 
96 -110 mph --> category 2 
111 - 129 mph --> category 3 
130 - 156 mph --> category 4 
157 mph + --> category 5 

Typically, the formation of a hurricane occurs when moist warm air if absorbed from the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean and rises. The moisture will then evaporate further rising and heating until the moist air is twisted and circulation high in the atmosphere.
