What is the main reason water from the ocean turns to what’re vapor, and than evaporates into the air?

2 answers:

Like evaporation, condensation occurs as part of the water cycle. Water molecules that have traveled upward through evaporation eventually meet the cooler air at higher levels of the atmosphere. Water vapor in the warm, moist air condenses, forming larger droplets of water that will eventually be visible as clouds.

As it moves through the water cycle, water often changes from a liquid, to a solid (ice), to a gas (water vapor). Water that is at the surface of the ocean, rivers, and lakes can become water vapor in the air of our atmosphere with a little added energy from the Sun through a process called evaporation.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

C. Low-frequency seismic waves cause more ground acceleration than do high-frequency waves.

Explanation:

Low-frequency seismic waves covers more distance as compared to high-frequency waves because high frequency wave provide more energy to the medium while low frequency waves supply less energy to the medium so which makes the wave to go further. Lower frequency waves "penetrate" into a materials better, because energy particles having lower frequencies having less energy and they pass through the medium without interacting with the matter.

a rural kansas watershed that is ungauged has an area of 475 acres and a main channel length of 6870 feet with an average slope

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$\mathbf{Q_p =682 \ \ ft^3/s}$

Explanation:

Given that:

Area = 475 acres

The length of the channel (L) = 6870 feet

The average water shield slope (S) = 100 feet/mile

Since; 1 mile = 5280 feet

Burst duration D = 15 min

∴

100 feet/mile = 100/5280

The average water shield slope (S) = 5/264

Using hydrograph method:

The time of concentration $t_c = 0.0078L^{0.77} S^{-0.385}$

where;

L = 6870

S = 5/264

$t_c = 0.0078(6870)^{0.77} (\dfrac{5}{264})^{-0.385}$

$t_c =32.34$ min

Since 60 min = 1 hour

32.34 min will be (32.34*1)/60

= 0.539 hour

Lag time $T_l = 0.67\times t_c$

$T_l = 0.67\times 32.34$

$T_l = 21.6678\ min$

The time to peak i.e

$T_p = \dfrac{D}{2}+ T_L \\ \\ T_p = \dfrac{15}{2}+ 21.6678 \\ \\ T_p = 29.168 \ min$

$T_r = \dfrac{T_p}{5.5} \\ \\ T_r = \dfrac{29.1678}{5.5} \\ \\ T_r = 5.30 \ min$

Since D = 15 min is not equal to $T_r$ , then we hydrograph apart from $T_r$ duration lag time.

Then;

$T_p \ ' = T_p + \dfrac{D-t_r}{4} \\ \\ T_p \ ' = 29.168 + \dfrac{15-5.30}{4} \\ \\ T_p \ ' = 31.593$

Now, we need to determine the peak discharge $Q_p$ by using the formula:

$Q_p = \dfrac{484 \times A}{T_p \ '}$

where

484 = peak factor

Recall that A = 475 acres, to miles, we have:

A = 0.7422 mile²

$T_p \ ' = 31.593/60$

∴

$Q_p = \dfrac{484 \times 0.7422}{\dfrac{31.593}{60}}$

$\mathbf{Q_p =682 \ \ ft^3/s}$

Which of the following would be an important observation that could help you identify a metamorphic rock? Choose one: A. large c

raketka [301]

Answer:

D. the arrangement of mineral grains into a foliation

Explanation:

Due to the tectonic activity of the terrestrial lithosphere, igneous and sedimentary rocks formed in certain environments and under precise environmental conditions, can be subjected to new conditions (essentially pressure and temperature). Under the new conditions, and frequently under the action of tectonic stresses (linked, for example, to the formation of mountain ranges), pre-existing rocks are transformed texturally, structurally and mineralogically into a solid state, giving rise to metamorphic rocks. Its fundamental characteristic is to present blastic texture (i.e., solid state recrystallization), and in cases of deformation, anisotropic factories.

The petrographic characteristics of these rocks are especially complicated, given the solid state transformation processes that they have suffered, usually accompanied by intense deformation. Due to the gradual nature of metamorphic (and deformational) transformations, the characteristics of this type of rock also range from igneous or sedimentary to purely metamorphic.

<u>Foliation </u>

The term foliation (foliatus: leaf-shaped) refers to any planar (almost flat) arrangement of mineral grains or structural features of the interior of a rock. Although there is foliation in some sedimentary rocks and even in a few types of igneous rocks, it is a fundamental characteristic of rocks that have undergone regional metamorphism, that is, rocky units that have folded and deformed greatly. In metamorphic environments, foliation is caused, ultimately, by the compressive efforts that shorten the rock masses, causing the mineral grains of pre-existing rocks to develop parallel or almost parallel alignments. Examples of foliation are the parallel alignment of minerals with planar habit and / or elongated minerals; the parallel alignment of mineral particles and flattened edges; the compositional bandeado where the separation of dark and light minerals generates a laminar appearance, and the blackboard when the rocks easily separate into thin and tabular layers along parallel surfaces. These different types of foliation can be formed in many different ways, such as:

1. Rotation of elongated or planar mineral grains towards a new orientation.

2. Recrystallization of minerals to form new grains that grow in the direction of the preferred orientation.

3. Changes in shape in equidimensional grains to elongated shapes that align in a preferred orientation.

Choose the correct succession of low to high altitude clouds that signify a warm front.

Rudik [331]

The correct order is Ns, As, Cs, Ci .

<h3>What do you mean by high altitude?</h3>

The distance above sea level is known as altitude, just like elevation. If an area extends at least 2,400 meters into the atmosphere, it is frequently referred to as being "high-altitude."

Mount Everest, which is located in the Himalayan mountain range on the border between Nepal and Tibet in China, is the highest point on Earth. 8,850 meters is how high Mount Everest is.

The highest city on Earth is El Alto, which is located in Bolivia. The average elevation of the 1.2 million population is 4,150 meters above sea level.

Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. In other words, low air pressure indicates a high apparent height.

Two things account for this. The primary cause is gravity. Density is the second justification.

Which type of weather is typical for a polar climate? A.warm, humid, rainy summers and cool, dry winters B.hot, humid weather an

Murrr4er [49]

Hello! Polar climate is in North & South Poles, where the weather there is extremely cold. Just by looking at the answer choices alone, A and B are both eliminated, because it is not hot, warm, or humid. Plus, the weather described in those answer choices does not fit at all. D is out as well, because the weather does not vary in the poles. It is very cold year-round. The only answer choice that even makes sense in this problem is C. Therefore, the answer is C.
