Answer:

3 years

Explanation:

Even there was a dry year in 1979, the area received almost the normal amount of rain in 1980.

In 1981 however, the year was quite dry, with rainfalls in drop of almost 20%, that began one of the most important drought in the history of Brazil.

In 1982, rainfalls were down by 30% and it got even worse.

In 1983, the rainfalls were down by about 35%, essentially destroying all the agriculture system that had been severely damaged by the two previous years.

In 1984, rain came back a bit higher than its traditional levels, and in 1985, the area was flooded by rain surpassing the average by 60%!

Explain the process of precipitation,evaporation, and condensation within the water cycle

andre [41]

evaporation is when a mass of water is hit by sunlight and some of it turns to a vapor. In the atmosphere, that vapor cools and the water molecules fuse with other water molecules, forming clouds. (condensation) When the clouds become full, the water precipitates onto land or into the ocean in the form of rain, sleet, snow or hail (precipitation).

1. _______when wind allows cold dense water to rise from the bottom of the ocean to the surface.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

upwelling
obliquity
thermohaline circulation
Milankovitch cycles
eccentricity
precession

Explanation:

Upwelling is a process of the winds that drives away the warm water from the surface and bring up the cold and dense water from below.

Obliquity is the nature of the axial tilt of the earth i.e 23.5 ° Due to the equator bulge and other properties of the earth.

The thermohaline circulation is the global circulation of the waster that is created by the gradient flow of the surface heat and the freshwater influxes.

Milankovitch cycles are the effect of the changes in the earth's movements in climatic patterns over a thousands of years period.

Eccentricity is the orbital rotation of the earth around the sun on its axis and has more of a circular elliptical path.

The precession is the change in the orientation of the axial tilt of the planet in reference to the rotating body.

What set if reflections would carry kite ABCD onto itself

alekssr [168]

The answer would be y axis, x axis, another y axis and x axis. One then can reflect y axis (5,1) and would reflect to x axis (5,-1) And then across y axis (-5,1) and would back to (-5,1). Hope this is the answer and would help.
