Derive Reference Potential Evapotranspiration from Potential Evapotranspiration
Earth scienceAsked by: Kim Hill How is reference evapotranspiration calculated? where ETo = reference evapotranspiration rate (mm d-1), T = mean air temperature (°C), and u2 = wind speed (m s-1) at 2 m above the ground. Equation 3 can be applied using hourly data if the constant value “900” is divided by 24 for the
Would hurricanes on an ocean planet continue indefinitely?
Earth scienceAsked by: Kim Hill How does a hurricane sustain itself over ocean? A hurricane builds energy as it moves across the ocean, sucking up warm, moist tropical air from the surface and dispensing cooler air aloft. Think of this as the storm breathing in and out. The hurricane escalates until this “breathing” is disrupted, like
What is slow fast change?
GeologyAsked by: Kate Nasby The changes which take place over a long period of time are called slow changes. Examples: Rusting of iron, formation of day and night, ripening of fruits, growing of trees are slow changes. The changes which take place in a short period of time are called fast changes. What is slow
Is it possible for California to fall into the ocean?
GeologyAsked by: Kate Nasby No, California is not going to fall into the ocean. California is firmly planted on the top of the earth’s crust in a location where it spans two tectonic plates. Can California fall into the ocean from an earthquake? For those of us who live in inland areas of Southern California,
What are the branches of oceanography?
GeologyAsked by: Jorge Pierson Traditionally, we discuss oceanography in terms of four separate but related branches: physical oceanography, chemical oceanography, biological oceanography and geological oceanography. What are the five 5 branches of oceanography? The study of oceanography is divided into these five branches: Biological oceanography. Chemical oceanography. Geological oceanography. Physical oceanography. Paleoceanography. What are the
What is abrasion in glacial erosion?
GeologyAsked by: Amanda Rogers As a glacier flows downslope, it drags the rock, sediment, and debris in its basal ice over the bedrock beneath it, grinding it. This process is known as abrasion and produces scratches (striations) in bedrock surface. What is a glacial abrasion? Glacial abrasion is the surface wear achieved by individual clasts,

Where is the world’s water found?
GeologyAsked by: Donald Hands the oceans Where is the worlds water found? Earth’s water is (almost) everywhere: above the Earth in the air and clouds, on the surface of the Earth in rivers, oceans, ice, plants, in living organisms, and inside the Earth in the top few miles of the ground. Where does the world’s
What does intrusive igneous mean?
GeologyAsked by: Kirk Wallace In geology, an igneous intrusion (or intrusive body or simply intrusion) is a body of intrusive igneous rock that forms by crystallization of magma slowly cooling below the surface of the Earth. What is the meaning of intrusive igneous rock? Intrusive, or plutonic, igneous rock forms when magma is trapped deep
How do you determine cleavage?
GeologyAsked by: April Harris To determine the angle of cleavage, look at the intersection of cleavage planes. Commonly, cleavage planes will intersect at 60°, 90° (right angles), or 120°. Be cautious when you see a flat surface on a mineral – not every flat surface is a cleavage plane. How do you identify cleavage and
