How does windchill effect nonliving things?

Answer 1

The human body loses heat largely by evaporative cooling and convection. The rate of heat loss by a surface depends on the wind speed above that surface: the faster the wind speed, the more readily the surface cools. For inanimate objects, the effect of wind chill is to reduce any warmer objects to the ambient temperature more quickly. For most biological organisms, the physiological response is to maintain surface temperature in an acceptable range so as to avoid adverse effects. Thus, the attempt to maintain a given surface temperature in an environment of faster heat loss results in both the perception of colder temperatures and an actual greater heat loss increasing the risk to adverse effects such as frostbite and death.

Answer 2

Yes, it will cause things which are exposed to the wind chill to become colder if they are wet because the wind increases evaporation. Wind will cause dry things to cool down faster but their temperature will not get any colder than the air temperature.

Answer 3

if there is a tree with limbs they will bend down so do not play on tree limbs with snow on them all that weight could possibly break a limb. however

flowers will be covered up but they will grow back after the snow.

Answer 4

Well, they don't get cold...........cause they're dead....

However, the body will cool down quicker due to wind chill as the process still strips heat out of the body quicker due to improvement to conductive heat losses. This will make determination of time of death more difficult as the lower the temperature of the body:

• the slower the body decomposes making it harder to accurately determine the exact time of death (it looks like the body is "fresher" than it really is)
• the quicker the body cools down the quicker the internal temperature falls, making it look like it has been dead longer than it has.

Answer 5

Water can feed the plants and can be drinked by people and bathcan with.

Answer 6

im not exactly shure... but i think that it helps cool them off, suck them up >:) (tornado) and other stuff

Answer 7

Weather has a huge impact on non-living things. A place that has a lot of rain will likely erode rocks in the area for example.
