How would the cycle be different if there were no water on earth?

Biology
1 answer:
Luda [366]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

What I expect would happen: First, there would be no clouds. Lack of clouds would mean there would be no rain and the average temperature of the Earth would increase, resulting in large areas of land becoming desert.

Explanation:

The water cycle is the process where water falls as rain, is transported via rivers and streams to lakes and oceans, evaporates into the sky, condenses into clouds, and falls as rain again. Here's a diagram:

water.usgs.gov

water.usgs.gov

So what would happen if there were no condensation stage?

The condensation stage is the one where water vapour gathers together into clouds (and when the clouds become heavy enough with vapour, release water as rain). So the first answer is that there would be no clouds.

Without clouds, I foresee a few things happening:

From clouds come rain. With no clouds, there would be no rain.

Clouds move moisture from lakes and oceans (where it evaporates up) to mountains and other places inland that spark rainfall. And so vast stretches of land would become desert.

Clouds reflect sunlight and help cool the Earth. With no clouds, the average temperature of the Earth would increase significantly.

And so to summarize what I expect would happen. First, there would be no clouds. Lack of clouds would mean there would be no rain and the average temperature of the Earth would increase, resulting in large areas of land becoming desert.

How does one prevent such a fire from happening​
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

water

Explanation:

Water puts out fire by creating a barrier between the fuel source and the oxygen source (it also has a cooling effect which has to do with the energy required to convert liquid water into water vapor). It does this because it is a completely, 100% oxidized material. It simply cannot oxidize any further so it will not “burn”. This smothers the fire. The same thing would happen if you used the ashes that remained after a completely spent fire. Or, as I mentioned before, CO2.

The degree to which chromatin is compacted greatly affects its accessability for ____________ , and thus, gene expression.
iVinArrow [24]

The degree to which chromatin is compacted greatly affects its accessibility for transcription, and thus, gene expression.

<h3>What is Transcription?</h3>

This is the process which involves copying a segment of DNA into RNA in organisms.

When chromatin is condensed, DNA becomes less accessible for transcription factors and vice versa which was why it was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
