Generalized Soil Unit Information on Soil Characteristics of FAO/UNESCO Soil Map
Earth scienceAsked by: Nikki Lopez What is soil according to FAO? Soil is the end product of the combined influence of climate, topography, organisms (flora, fauna and human) on parent materials (original rocks and minerals) over time. As a result soil differs from its parent material in texture, structure, consistency, color, chemical, biological and physical characteristics.

Is oxygen the most abundant element on Earth?
Earth scienceAsked by: Tiffany Taylor Oxygen is by far the most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, making up 46% of mass—coming up just short of half of the total. Oxygen is a highly reactive element that combines with other elements, forming oxides. Why oxygen is most abundant element on Earth? Oxygen is the third most
Are oceans a major factor in creating high winds on a planet?
Earth scienceAsked by: Tiffany Taylor How does wind affect ocean currents? The winds pull surface water with them, creating currents. As these currents flow westward, the Coriolis effect—a force that results from the rotation of the Earth—deflects them. The currents then bend to the right, heading north. How does ocean affect climate? Ocean currents act much
How to best calculate ensemble spread with 2D data?
Earth scienceAsked by: Casey Neri What is ensemble spread? The ensemble spread is a measure of the difference between the members and is represented by the standard deviation (Std) with respect to the ensemble mean (EM). On average, small spread theoretically indicates high forecast accuracy, large spread theoretically indicates low forecast accuracy.May 10, 2018 What is
How to measure Air CO2 Cheaply for a School Science Experiment
Earth scienceAsked by: Casey Neri How do you measure CO2 in an experiment? Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is measured with a gas sensor specifically made to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air. There are three main types of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) sensors: Electrochemical sensors, Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) Sensors, and Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS)
How do I convert between different east longitude coordinates?
Earth scienceAsked by: Kimberly Martin How do you convert coordinates? Community Mapping Experiment: How to Convert Latitude and Longitude to Map Coordinates Step 1: Multiply (×) the “degrees” by 60. Step 2: Add (+) the “minutes” Step 3: If the Latitude (Longitude) degrees are S (W) use a minus sign (“-“) in front. … Step 4:
What kind of climate could you expect in a mountainous area in a subtropical region?
Earth scienceAsked by: Kimberly Martin Which is hotter tropical or subtropical? The subtropics refers to the zones immediately north and south of the tropic zone. The term can be used loosely to mean a range of latitudes between 23.5 and approximately 40 degrees. These areas typically have hot summers– even hotter than tropical climates. Is India
What evidence is there for geological mechanisms that formed the Siberian traps flood basalt?
Earth scienceAsked by: Christopher Washington How were Siberian Traps formed? The Siberian Traps are the remnants of widepread volcanic activity that occurred in northern Pangea, about 250 m.y. ago. The most common rock type is basalt, which usually erupts effusively rather than explosively, but the eruptions can be prolonged, lasting for years or even decades, and
How and why humidity and vapour pressure change as a parcel of air with an unchanging amount of water vapor rises, expands, and cools
Earth scienceAsked by: Christopher Washington How does the relative humidity change for an air parcel of constant water content as it is lifted into the atmosphere? As a rising parcel cools, its relative humidity increases. Once the relative humidity reaches 100% (determined when the parcel temperature cools down to its original dew point temperature), further lifting
