- Question:- Which of the following would be a good example of a microclimate? The cool humid air that escapes from an opening to a cave creates small region in which the surrounding temperatures are not as extreme across the year as they are just a few feet away. The weather on north of the Himalayan Mountains tends to be different than the weather south of it. The Hurricanes in the Golf of Mexico tend to be stronger than the ones in the Atlantic Ocean east of Florida all but one of the above none of the abovearrow_forwardDeserts are commonly found around the world at 30 degrees latitude north and south of the equator. Why are these areas so dry? Group of answer choices -there is no ocean at these latitudes -Cool dry air sinks to the ground at these latitudes -rain shadows -the sun is usually directly overheadarrow_forwardClimate is the result of a variety of global processes. What of the following is a climatological driver? rotation of Earth hydrosphere properties oceanic currents concertation of sun irradiances all of the abovearrow_forward

Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle," there is no beginning or end. Heat energy from the sun drives the water cycle. Main processes of the water cycle are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Lake 1. The processes involved in the water cycle are labeled with letters A-G in the diagram. Use the words below to identify each process and write it on the lines provided. condensation root uptake percolation evaporation A runoff transpiration precipitation F D A D Farrow_forwardWhich of the following describes an abiotic factor in a forest? earthworms that burrow through the forest soil. fungi in the soil that feed on dead organic matter. animals such as deer that migrate through the forest but do not eat the forest. all the plants that are growing alongside the trees. sunlight that filters through the treetops. The seasons of the year are best explained by the distribution of temperature and rainfall in biomes. the daily rotation of the earth on its axis. the tilt of the earth on its axis as it revolves around the sun. the fact that the equator is warm and the poles are cold.arrow_forward

Look at the rainfall graph over an 11 year period of lower than average rainfall in this ecosystem, predict how the biotic factors within this ecosystem would respond. Make sure to describe how eventually all trophic levels would be affected. Be sure to explain your reasoning Answer: Type your answer here.arrow_forwardLook at the following temperature and precipitation graph for a city around the world. Using this information, write down which biome each city has in it. Be careful to read the numbers along The numbers along the Y-axis carefully. For precipitation, you will need to look at figure 2.2, which has annual precipitation numbers in centimeters. Then compare them to the monthly precipitation numbers in the graph, which are in millimeters. It may be helpful to add up The graph numbers and convert that number to centimeters in order to determine the Biome. Average temperatures are also represented on figure 2.2. Answer choices A. Desert B. Tropical rain forest C. Temperate grassland D. Tundraarrow_forwardAfter warm air rises from the equator, it cools and moves toward the poles. When the cool, dense air begins to fall back to the surface of Earth it: moves toward both the poles and the equator. moves toward the equator. moves toward the poles.arrow_forward
