The amount of sunlight it receives and air. The different forms of precipitation the taiga biome receives such as a liquid and solid because of its climate. Another abiotic factor is the soil that sometimes is stationarily frozen in the ground until it can defrost during the warm season. The biotic elements in the taiga biome

Shuo Yang Response Paper Topic: Introduction to Kunming quasi-stationary front Kunming is the capital city of Yunnan province that located in the Southwest of China. It is a city where has the spring all the year round. That means the changeless spring-like climate causes by the Kunming quasi. Kunming quasi also named as Yungui quasi. (Yungui------the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau) It is generally formed by the interaction of metamorphic continental polar air and Southwest air current

effects on local ecosystems. Most plants and animals are adapted for a certain environment. Generally, each species does well when the temperature is in a certain range, and the seasons work in a regular way. As things like temperature and seasonal precipitation shift, less robust plants and animals are not going to be able to adapt quickly enough. This will result in widespread extinction. Three facts that are relevant to global warming: * Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may

Urban dust dome Urban dust domes are a meteorological phenomenon in which soot, dust, and chemical emissions become trapped in the air above urban spaces. This trapping is a product of local air circulations. Calm surface winds are drawn to urban centers, they then rise above the city and descend slowly on the periphery of the developed core. This cycle is often a cause of smog through photochemical reactions that occur when strong concentrations of the pollutants in this cycle are exposed to solar

What is the difference between weather and climate? WEATHER -is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, and its short-term variation in minutes to weeks. People generally think of weather as the combination of temperature, humidity, precipitation, cloudiness, visibility, and wind. We talk about changes in weather in terms of the near future: "How hot is it right now?" "What will it be like today?" and "Will we get a snowstorm this week?" * Weather includes sunshine, rain, cloud cover, winds

Know the main aspect of the collision & coalescence precipitation process. Know the main premise of the ice-crystal (Bergeron) precipitation process. Chapter 5 Questions and Topics to Study (cont’d) Know the difference between freezing rain and sleet, including the type of lower atmosphere that can produce each of these types of winter precipitation. (Hint: See Active Figure 5.32 on page 139)

Precipitation Hardening Precipitation hardening, or age hardening, provides one of the most widely used mechanisms for the strengthening of metal alloys. The strongest aluminum alloys (2xxx, 6xxx and 7xxx) are produced by age hardening. In order for an alloy system to be able to be precipitation-strengthened, there must be a terminal solid solution that has a decreasing solid solubility as the temperature decreases. The precipitation-hardening process involves three basic steps: solution treatment

SC260 Ecology Assignment 1: 1. Describe global patterns of atmospheric heating and circulation. What mechanisms produce high precipitation in the tropics? What mechanisms produce high precipitation at temperate latitudes? What mechanisms produce low precipitation in the tropics? (60 points) 2. Use what you know about atmospheric circulation and seasonal changes in the sun’s orientation to earth to explain the highly seasonal rainfall in the tropical dry forest and tropical savanna biomes

The Green Movement American Intercontinental University The Green Movement Purpose: The purpose of this lab report is to demonstrate how changes in abiotic factor such as changes in precipitation patterns can influence plant populations. Introduction: During this observation I was observe ring the plant species called Kentucky Blue Grass. In this observation I will show how changes in the weather can affect the population of the grass. I will also explain how this may have some effect
