Urban heat island climates usually occur in more built up urban areas. Effects of this are a temperature difference of up to 0.6°C in the days and 3-4°C at night. Over the year London is 1.3°C warmer than the surrounding rural areas. This is may seem like a small difference however during extreme temperatures they do seem more significant. In the summer the city can be up to 5°C warmer than surrounding rural areas.
Dark surfaces absorb more light energy, and heat, making the entire building warmer. Buildings with brick walls or roofs, if coated with dark coatings, also get heated up very quickly. In both cases, this heat is transferred both inside the structure and radiated into the surrounding air. Buildings with dark surfaces heat up more rapidly and require more cooling from air conditioning, which requires more energy from things such as power plants, resulting in more pollution. Also air conditioners exchange heat with atmospheric air, causing further local heating.
In conclusion, the data from the goldfish respiration lab supports my hypothesis. My hypothesis was that if I were to put the goldfish in the 27OC water then the goldfish will breathe faster because the water is hotter and the molecules move further apart. Therefore, the fish will have to take more breaths. In 10OC water, the goldfish will take fewer breaths because in colder water the molecules move slower and they are closer together. As a result, it will have to take fewer breaths.
Viscosity can be affected by three main factors, Firstly, the higher the temperature, the lower the density of the magma, causing it to flow more easily. Secondly, the greater the amount of dissolved gases in the magma, the less viscous it will be, and lastly the higher the silica content, the more viscous it will be. Thicker, more viscous magma has a greater potential for explosive eruptions and therefore represent the greatest potential hazards. The thickest type of magma is known as Acidic Magma. Its relatively low temperature, high silica content and leads to blockages and powerful eruptions.
It is more pronounced in the summer. (b) Why? They can keep summer temperatures way down, in the winter, they often keep temperatures from getting too cold. 4. (a) Comparing the January map with the July map, describe one region of the world that exhibits a large annual temperature range (the difference between the January and July average temperatures): Siberia.
A healthy body is perpetually gaining and losing heat. Metabolic reactions like respiration release a plethora of heat energy, brawny activity increase the metabolic rate and relinquish more heat energy. The body can additionally gain temperature from the circumventions like the sun or by victualing sultry pabulum. Heat is disoriented by the body through exposed skin by conduction. If there is sweat or dehydrogenate monoxide on the skin, it
Lower light frequencies had a more immediate effect than higher light frequencies. Question 2: Does the chart provide information suggesting saturation of rate as a function of increasing intensity? Justify your answer. Yes, the increased light intensity causes results in a slower rate of photosynthesis. This is because of the aquatic environment in which Elodea is found.
D. Scholar Geography 1 November 11, 2012 Test Corrections #1 Question: Which atmospheric heating process involves the emission of energy from an object? Correct Answer: E) Radiation My Answer: D) Why it’s Wrong: Radiation is the right answer because it has much stronger. It’s stronger than transmission, scattering, reflection and absorption. A good example would be: if your wearing a black shirt out in the sun you would be much hotter than if you’re wearing a white shirt. The black shirt would also fade over time because the suns rays would eat up the shirt.
Mid-summer (July-August) is often a bit cooler due to the sea breezes and fog which are normally most strongly developed then (Gildemeister, 2004, p. 109). Gildemeister also mentions the main controlling factor over the characteristics of the Mediterranean climate is the alternating influence of the subtropical high in summer and Westerlies during the winter (p. 111). During the summer, the subtropical high has expanded to its largest extent and most pole ward position, exerting its influence on subtropical west coasts between 30o and 40o N and S latitude. Subsiding air from the high creates stable atmospheric conditions
The sun in Alaska is only out for a couple hours a day, and it only rises about half way up in the sky, unlike Hawaii where the sun is the same as every other state .Hawaii does have a better temperature overall, but Alaska is so different from Hawaii that I feel it would make for a better vacation that you will remember more. overall Alaska is a better
