The short residence time of water in the atmosphere allows a water molecule to have a stronger ability to do which of the follow
ing, compared to a situation if the residence time in the atmosphere were larger? A. acquire potential energy and convert it to kinetic energy
B. participate in the hydrologic cycle
C. erode the surface
D. store and release latent heat
E. All of these.
Explanation: Residence time of water is the rate of water in a water reservoir such as the ocean or the atmosphere divided by how fast more water is added to it or lost from it.
While residence time is thousands of years in oceans, water in the atmosphere has a short residence time of abut 10 – 11 days. This allows it to participate in the hydrologic cycle which includes evaporation and precipitation. Water in the atmosphere precipitates as snow or rain, returning to other water reservoirs.
Pakistan's HDI value for 2019 is 0.557— which puts the country in the medium human development category—positioning it at 154 out of 189 countries and territories. Between 1990 and 2019, Pakistan's HDI value increased from 0.402 to 0.557, an increase of 38.6 percent.
Its actually C. hot and sunny. We are talking about tropical continental. The other answer the user put D. does not make sense when talking about a tropical area. The overall answer is C.
During high tide when the level of seawater rises, more sea water is brought into the estuary. This makes the water very salty and thus increases the percentage of dissolved salt in the estuary. Therefore, at high tide, the salinity of an estuary increases significantly.
Glacial ice can transport rocks as big as a house. It has very high transport competence and moves very slowly across a very large distance.
The maximum size of particles that a stream can transport is defined as stream competence. This is a concept under hydrology. Streams depending on its velocity can carry sand, mud, silt and cobble along with the dissolved and suspended load.
The process by which Ocean waves transport sediments, large pebbles and boulders is referred to as Coastal Transportation. During Coastal transportation, large pebbles and boulders are rolled along the seabottom, while beach material is bounced along the seabed.
