Five Charateristics of Releif rainfall​

Geography
2 answers:
DENIUS [597]3 years ago

Answer:

Relief rainfall, also known as orographic rainfall, occurs in areas where land increases in height. It is very common on the west coast of the United Kingdom due to the prevailing weather coming from that direction.

Relief rainfall is formed when the air cools as it rises over relief features in the landscape such as hills or mountains. As the air rises, it cools, condenses and forms rain.

In the UK prevailing winds from the west lead to air rising over upland areas such as the Pennines. As the result of this rainfall totals of over 1,600 mm per year occur in the west of the UK. The downwind or leeward slope receives a small amount of rainfall in comparison.

Answer:

  • It is also called orographic rainfall
  • It consists of two sides of a mountain each having its name
  • The side with the rainfall is called windward side and the side without rainfall is called lee ward side

The reason why there is rain on only one side is because when clouds move from one side of the mountain to the other side, the cloud is very heavy, so it showers off on the side of the mountain which it is on (windward side) and very less water is left to shower off on the other side (leeward side)

If my answer helped, kindly mark me as the brainliest!!

Thank You!!

The Dome of the Rock, the Wailing Wall, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre are all sacred sites located in __________.
dolphi86 [110]
Jerusalem, by virtue of the number and diversity of people who have held it sacred, may be considered the most holy city in the world. To the Jewish people it is Ir Ha-Kodesh<span> (the Holy City), the Biblical Zion, the City of David, the site of Solomon's Temple, and the eternal capital of the Israelite nation. To Christians it is where the young Jesus impressed the sages at the Jewish Temple, where he spent the last days of his ministry, and where the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection took place. Also greatly venerated by the Muslims, it is where the prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven. While highly charged with intense religious devotion and visited by countless pilgrims and sages, Jerusalem has also been ravaged by thirty centuries of warfare and strife. It is a place of beauty and divinity, mystery and paradox; a sacred site which no modern spiritual seeker should fail to experience.</span>

5x+2y=-11 and 2x+2y=5​
Lisa [10]

Answer:

x=-16/3 and y =47/6

Explanation:

Subtract the 2 equations to eliminate the variable y

2x+2y=5​

-(5x+2y=-11)

---------------

-3x=16

Divide by -3 on both sides

x= -16/3

Plug -16/3 in for x in the first equation to find y

2x+2y=5

2(-16/3)+2y=5

Multiply

-32/3+2y=5

Add 32/3 to both sides

2y=47/3

Divide both sides by 2

y=47/6

x=-16/3 and y =47/6

Hope this helps! :)
