Question

[10 pts] This diagram depicts the climate for a specific city with a population of just over 3.5 million people. What city is it? EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING. Start by figuring out and explaining at what latitude and in which hemisphere would you be mostly likely to find this climate.

[5 pts] What is thermal stratification? What is the difference between a monomictic and a dimictic lake? What type (monomictic or dimictic) would a Texas reservoir be and why?

[5 pts] List two different fire-prone biomes and explain what is similar about them and what is different. What makes a biome fire-prone?

Explanation / Answer

2)

Thermal stratification is also called Lake Stratification, which is defined as the alteration in the temperature at dissimilar lowest points in the lake. The Monomictic Lake is also called Holomictic Lake, which has same temperature density at all dissimilar lowest points in the lake, once a year.

The Dimictic Lake is has same temperature density at all dissimilar lowest points in the lake, more than once a year. A Texas reservoir warm Monomictic, because it has weak temperature gradient during summer time.

3)

Biome is defined as the contiguous area which has similar climate.

The chaparral biome is made up of rocky, sandy, and gravelly soil. Mostly shrubs, small trees, and cacti are grown in chaparral biome. The annual rainfall is about 25 inches only, and temperatures range from 10 to 40 oC (degrees Celsius). Hence, the chaparral biome comes under fire-prone biome.

The savanna biome is located near the equator, and has a fairly consistent average temperature of approximately 21 oC. Rainfall is minimal during the dry season, but can reach approximately 25 inches during the rainy season.
