What is unique about the Gobi Desert?

Geography
2 answers:
White raven [17]3 years ago

The correct answer is extremely hot summers and and cold winters, B. In the Gobi Desert receives less than 8 inches of rain a year. In the winter time, temperatures can get as low as 40 degrees below freezing and up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer. However, many Mongolians make an effort to live there.

The correct answer is - Extremely cold winters and blistering hot summers.

The Gobi desert is the desert that is the northern most of all the deserts in the world. It is situated in the northern part of China and southern part of Mongolia. It's far away from the influence of the sea and that makes it very dry. The most dominant factor that creates the climate in the desert is the continental climate. But it is not a situation where the Gobi desert gets continental climate, but instead it gets the worse out of it, the bad extremely cold and dry winter, and the bad extremely hot dry summer, which made it a desert. In winter the temperatures can drop to -40, while in summer can go up to +40 degrees C.

The horizontal distance between a crest to the next trough of an ocean wave is 5 meters.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

10 meters

Explanation:

A wave is a natural phenomenon that travels through a material medium but does not have a permanent effect on the particles of the medium. It can either be electromagnetic or mechanical. The propagation of a wave can be represented by a sinusoidal graph, which has crests and troughs.

A crest is the point of maximum displacement, while trough is a point of minimum displacement. The distance between two crests or troughs gives the wavelength of the wave.

From the question, the horizontal distance between a crest to the next trough is 5 meters which is half of the wavelength.

Thus wavelength = 5 × 2

                             = 10

The wavelength is 10 meters.

Describe the difference between relative dating and absolute dating. describe how the two methods were used together to develop
ipn [44]
Relative dating is used to identify what things existed before or after another. This is usually seen in fossils in which layers of new fossils are laid on top of each other.

Absolute dating uses scientific techniques to identify the actual date of when a fossil or animal existed

Filling in the gaps of absolute dating with that of relative dating, these methods made the geologic time scale.

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}
