Question

The specific heat of water is the specific heats of other common substances. a. much greater than. b. about the same as c. much less than Evapotranspiration refers to. a. evaporation from soil and water surfaces b vapor loss from plant leaves both of these sources after the ocean, the largest reservoir of water in the Earth system is. a. groundwater b. the atmosphere c. ice sheets and glaciers. On a global scale, precipitation is greater than evaporation from surfaces while evaporation exceeds precipitation from surfaces. a. land/ocean b. ocean/land c.land/land d. ocean/ocean At saturation, the vapor pressure equals the total atmospheric pressure. a. True b. False Relative humidity is the fraction, in percent, of the actual vapor pressure to the vapor pressure. a. total b. saturation c. condensation One mechanism for cooling air is by forcing air aloft from flow toward rising topographical relief. This Process is called lifting. a orographic b. frontal leeward Climates exhibit, more precipitation on the sides of mountain ranges. a. leeward b. windward Fog may be considered a cloud in contact with the ground. a. True b. False Measurements of rainfall over the tropical oceans by a space-borne radar are provided by the satellite. a. GOES b. TRMM c. MODES

Explanation / Answer

1) much greater. water has greater specific heat capacity than others because of their hydrogen bonding.

2) both.

water loss from plant leaves is called transpiration . and water loss from land surface is called evaporation

3) ice sheets and glaciers. they contain large amount of fresh water stored in the form of ice.

4) land/ocean

5) false

6) saturation

7) orographic lifting

8) windward side

9) true

10) TRMM
