What is the highest balloons possible in a chain?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Catfish Rogers How high can the highest balloon go? Typically though many balloons can reach between 90,000 feet (27,432 meters) and 125,000 feet (38,100 meters). Many balloons have gone above 130,000 feet, however around 130,000 to 137,000 is usually the theoretical maximum for most latex based balloons. In 2002, a balloon named BU60-1

What causes intra-plate faults, such as the New Madrid fault?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Benito Hollo What causes the New Madrid Fault? The Reelfoot rift is identified today as a subsurface system of fractures and faults in the earth’s crust. New Madrid seismicity is spatially associated with the Reelfoot rift and may be produced by movement on old faults in response to compressive stress related to plate

Are the water year/hydrological year different around the world?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Stacey Larson Why is a water year different? Its beginning differs from the calendar year because part of the precipitation that falls in late autumn and winter accumulates as snow and does not drain until the following spring or summer’s snowmelt. How is hydrological year determined? The water year is designated by the

How does high rate of evapo-transpiration contribute to the ineffectiveness of rainfall?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Brandon Bilima How does evapotranspiration affect precipitation? Evapotranspiration is an important process in the water cycle because it is responsible for 15% of the atmosphere’s water vapor. Without that input of water vapor, clouds couldn’t form and precipitation would never fall. What are the factors affecting evapo transpiration? The principal weather parameters affecting
