What was the weather for the crow tribe?
Montana/Wyoming regions are common grounds for the Crow nation. The weather in summer often is in the high 80's upwards toward 100 degrees Fahrenheit. In the winter the temperatures can be as low as -40, sometimes colder. Snowfall often is fairly heavy - but it will vary from year to year just as it does any other year.
What are three ways a body can be mummified?
Bodies can be mummified in the Egyptian tradition by taking out the internal organs (which the Egyptians stored separately in jars) and letting the body dry out. A more modern technique is to saturate the body with formaldehyde, which is a powerful preservative (but also very toxic and carcinogenic, so while you can preserve bodies with it, you would not preserve food with it). An even more sophisticated technique is to freeze dry the body. In a vacuum, it will lose moisture even at low temperature, so you can dry it out while it is too cold to decay.
What are dikes used for?
Dikes are used to control and redirect the flow of water, particularly in flood-prone areas or near bodies of water. They are typically earthen embankments or walls made of concrete or stone. Dikes help to prevent flooding by confining water to specific channels and protecting nearby communities and agricultural lands.
What is a lava tube cave?
One formed below the solidified surface of a low-viscosity (basltic) lava flow by still-molten rock flowing out from under it.
What is a hallmark of desert?
Low rainfall. A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rain per year on average.
Why is air presure low when air is cold?
High pressure in weather is cold, and low pressure is hot.
How is temperature and pressure realated?
High temperatures coincide with low pressure and low temperatures coincide with high pressure. Cold air is heavier than warm air and has a higher pressure with it.
When cold air moves into an area the atmospheric pressure is what A low because cold air is not as dense as warm air B high because cold air is denser than warm air C neither high nor low?
When cold air moves into an area, we have high atmospheric pressure; the cold air is denser than the warm air. Love, me :)
Is high pressure warm front or cold front?
warm front is low pressure , cold front high pressure . because it pushes down on the surface (because cold air sinks) it makes high pressure .
Do polar surface currents bring high or low temperatures?
high pressure region I Think i wrote a paper on it!
Which best describes how air temperature is related to high- and low- pressure air?
They do not have tempatures....but High air pressure starts at 980 milibars (mb) to 1050 mb. Low Air Pressure is anything below 980 mb
What does the low pressure air mass do?
The Low Pressure Air Mass is the active feature of Our Atmosphere, air rises at it's center.The High Pressure Air Mass exists where-ever the Low does not: Air rising at the center of Lows descends at the centers of High Pressure Systems.The Low Pressure Air Mass acts as a Heat Pump that takes Heat North and Cold South.
What cause low and high pressure?
Heat and cold air.
What kind of weather system is found in areas of high pressure Low air pressure?
Depending on the air pressure the weather system can be hot of cold
What are some terms that weather men use?
high pressure,low pressure,cold front,warm front,warm air mass,cold air mass
Is cold air aloft associated with low or high pressure?
Cold air aloft is associated with a surface low pressure system. The reverse is true for warm air aloft. In a baroclinic low pressure system, the upper-level low/trough is usually situated over the cold air, while upper level highs/ridges are around warm air aloft.
What pressure does cold air exert?
Cold air exerts a low pressure. That is why cold air falls and hotter air rises above it.
