during dry weather , the water level in a small pond drops NOT because of runoff but RATHER because of <u>EVAPORATION</u>.
Explanation:
Dry weather means there is little;e relative humidity in the air mass the region. Therefore, more water from the pond easily evaporates because of the air’s high capacity to hold more moisture before getting to saturation. This is why water levels in water in small ponds lower or even dries up in dry conditions during the dry season. The warmer air temperatures increase the capacity of the air to hold more moisture hence evaporation of water from the ponds is increased.
The relationship between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere is that they both make up the earth's mantle. The asthenosphere lies right below the lithosphere.
