What conditions are required for a hurricane to form

1 answer:

7 0

- The storm must be developing over warm water. The water must be at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The warm water provides the energy for increased evaporation of water from the ocean surface.

- The warm water must be at least 200 feet deep

- There should be very little wind shear in the area. Wind shear occurs when there is a difference in wind speed and direction over a short distance. Strong wind shear can stop the formation of hurricane eye walls.

What biomes receive less then 100 Cm of rain each year? Check all that apply

jeyben [28]

Answer:- Option 3 (desert), Option 4 (tundra) and Option 5 (grassland).

Explanation:-

The amount of rainfall varies in different biomes:-

1. Tropical rain forests - The annual rainfall in these forests falls in the range of 125 to 660 cm which varies according to the seasons.

2. Temperate rain forest - The annual rainfall in these forests can range from 200 cm to 350 cm depending on the region where they are found. The annual rainfall is higher in warmer regions .

3. Desert - As the name suggests, the desert areas do not get enough rainfall. The annual rainfall in a desert is less than 25 cm.

4. Tundra - It is a biome which is found in relatively cooler climates and the amount of rainfall is very less these regions. The annual rainfall in tundra biomes is less than 20 cm.

5. Grassland - in these biomes, the rainfall is higher than the tundra and desert but is not as high as the rain forests and thus, grass is the dominant vegetation. The annual rainfall ranges from 60-90 cm.

What does a S-shaped curve demonstrate for population growth?

11111nata11111 [884]

A design of growth in which (occurs only in a different situation), the population frequency of an organism rises gradually originally, in a good acceleration time, later progresses swiftly nearing an exponential growth pace just like the J-shaped curve, however, it later declines (meaning rejects) in a bad acceleration time till at zero growth rate the population maintains. For example, yeast is a tiny fungus, so tiny, a microscope is required to view it, furthermore, it is used to produce bread and alcoholic drinks, displays the traditional S-shaped curve if raised in a test tube. Its maturity levels off as the population deplete the nutrients that are essential for its growth.
