pace than ever before. Due to ever increasing population pressure along with the causes and consequences of global warming; the environment of the city is degrading and the weather parameters are adversely challenged. The baseline temperature, precipitation and relative humidity are shifted and eventually accentuated due to changes in the climate system. A massive shift in the days with rainfall and days without rainfall results in water logging as well as water scarcity. This study primarily focuses

Transpiration and Leaf Resistance By: Bernina Berber Due: February 24, 2011 Lab: Thursday 1:40pm Section: 15227 Introduction Transpiration is a part of the water cycle process, and it is the loss of water vapor from parts of the plants. It is a process similar to evaporation. Evaporation and diffusion cause the plant tissue to have negative water potential. If you were to compare transpiration it would be like saying it is close to sweating (but in plants), especially in leaves but also

A River Runs Through It, A Perfect Storm, Urban Legend and Party of Five Authors and writers of novels and screenplays are often faced with a very difficult task. They must produce a work which will capture a person’s attention and hold it throughout the work. Norman Maclean and Paul Junger do this in their novels A River Runs Through It and A Perfect Storm, respectively. As do the writers and producers of Urban Legend and Party of Five. There are countless ways to keep a person’s interest

Global Warming: A raging problem that can make the world inhabitable. In my past few years, whenever I hear people mention of global warming, all that is in my knowledge is the flooding of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere which makes the earth slowly hotter every time. It wasn’t a big deal for me at all but, in the past few months, I got to be more aware of the matter, as global warming is paving its path towards a major problem for humanity. I can now hear people talking about it, and I can

First solar energy causes water to evaporate from the ocean, moving water into the atmosphere. Second the evaporated water from the ocean condenses into the clouds. Third the water collected in the clouds will fall back to land or to the ocean aw precipitation, either, rain, hail, or snow. Fourth some of the water returns back to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration. Fifth some of the water infiltrates the ground, where it joins the ground water reservoir and may eventually be locked up in

countries are provided by hydroelectric turbines, efficiency of a cloud seeding operation will continue to be negligible because scientists cannot know exactly what rainfall would or would not have occurred but for their efforts. Clouds and precipitation are paramount meteorological processes in the general public's concept of “weather” (Lin, Wang, Schlesinger). Since the mid-1940s, countries have used cloud seeding to attempt to control the rain. As would be expected, these programs have met with
