<span>Evaporation of warm surface water increases the amount of moisture in the colder, drier air flowing immediately above the lake surface. With continued evaporation, water vapor in the cold air condenses to form ice-crystal clouds, which are transported toward shore.</span>
By the time these clouds reach the shoreline, they are filled with snowflakes too large to remain suspended in the air and consequently, they fall along the shoreline as precipitation. The intensity of lake effect snowfall can be enhanced by additional lifting due to the topographical features (hills) along the shoreline. Once the snow begins to melt, the water is either absorbed by the ground and becomes groundwater, or goes returns back to the lake as runoff.
Lake effect snow events can produce tremendous amounts of snow. One such event was the Cleveland, Ohio Veteran's Day Snowstorm from November of 1996, where local storm snowfall totals exceeded 50 inches over two to three days.
<span>A Summary of the Hydrologic Cyclebringing all the pieces together<span>
<span>Animation by: Bramer</span></span>The hydrologic cycle begins with the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. As moist air is lifted, it cools and water vapor condenses to form clouds. Moisture is transportedaround the globe until it returns to the surface as precipitation. Once the water reaches the ground, one of two processes may occur; 1) some of the water may evaporate back into the atmosphere or 2) the water may penetrate the surface and become groundwater. Groundwater either seeps its way to into the oceans, rivers, and streams, or is released back into the atmosphere through transpiration. The balance of water that remains on the earth's surface is runoff, which empties into lakes, rivers and streams and is carried back to the oceans, where the cycle begins again.Lake effect snowfall is good example of the hydrologic cycle at work. Below is a vertical cross-section summarizing the processes of the hydrologic cycle that contribute to the production of lake effect snow. The cycle begins as cold winds (horizontal blue arrows) blow across a large lake, a phenomena that occurs frequently in the late fall and winter months around the Great Lakes.</span>

Solution:
The troposphere is the atmospheric layer closest to the planet and contains the largest percentage (around 80%) of the mass of the total atmosphere.
The troposphere is the lowest major atmospheric layer, extending from the Earth's surface up to the bottom of the stratosphere. The troposphere is where all of Earth's weather occurs. It contains approximately 80% of the total mass of the atmosphere.
The troposphere is characterized by decreasing temperature with height (at an average rate of 3.5 degrees F per thousand feet, or 6.5 degrees C per kilometer). In contrast, the stratosphere has either constant or slowly increasing temperature with height.
Thus the right answer is troposphere.
Answer:
The muscular system is the set of more than 650 muscles in the body, whose main function is to generate movement, whether voluntary or involuntary.
Explanation:
The functioning of the muscular system can be divided into 3 processes, one voluntary in charge of the skeletal muscles, the other involuntary carried out by the visceral muscles and the last process is the duty of the cardiac muscles and autonomous functioning.
Skeletal muscles allow walking, running, jumping, in short, they empower a multitude of voluntary activities. Except for reflexes, which are the involuntary responses generated as a result of a stimulus. As for involuntary functioning muscles, it can be specified that they perform independently of our will but are supervised and controlled by the nervous system, they are responsible for generating pressure for the transfer of fluids and the transport of substances throughout the organism with the help of peristaltic movements (such as food, during the digestion and excretion process).
The autonomous process takes place in the heart, an organ made of heart muscles. The primary function of this muscle tissue is to contract regularly, millions of times, having to endure fatigue and weariness, or else the heart would stop.
I am pretty sure that the answer is carbon dioxide.
