What body of water lies east of the Caspian Sea?
Garabogazköl Aylagy is a lake to the east of the Caspian Sea.
Why doesn't lake effect snow fall to the north or west of the great lakes?
Lake-effect snow doesn't fall north or west of the great lakes because the cold front moves to the south east. As it moves it picks up water vapor and heat. The heat and watervapor condenses and falls as snow
How does lake effect snow occur?
Snow, known as "lake-effect snow," is generated from the temperature contrast between the cold arctic air moving over the relatively warm waters of the Great Lakes (or other large body of water). Unlike most winter storms, lake effect snows do not build their foundation upon strong areas of low pressure. Instead, they are fueled by the same dry arctic air that is responsible for clearing skies over land in other parts of the country. Specifically, cold arctic air passing over the Great Lakes picks up moisture and deposits it as snow inland from the downwind shore. So while other parts of the northeastern United States are clearing up after a recent cold frontal passage, communities near the Great Lakes wait for the lake effect snow machine to fire up!Lake Effect snow is bands of narrow, but at times very heavy snow that is generated by cold air blowing over large areas of fresh water; such as the Great Lakes. The air moving over the warmer waters of the lake picks up the moisture from the water and deposits it as snow on the down wind side of the lake. Areas famous for Lake Effect snow are the eastern portions of Lake Ontario in New York such as Oswego County. In February 2007 some portions of Oswego County, New York received up to 11 feet of snow in a 5 day time frame. also the lake effect can make tremendous snow in the winter. it may cause lots of damage to lots of thingsCold air blows over large lakes,and then over land.When a cold air mass travels over a warm body of water, that causes lake effect snow. This can occur over any body of water.Cold dry winds blow across the surface of a much warmer body of water for a significant distance, then continue into some land area. Many areas south and east of the Great Lakes receive a lot of lake effect snow.Cold air from the northwest gains moisture and warmth as it passes over the great lakes which causes a lake-effect snowstormLake effect snows occur when a mass of sufficiently cold air moves over a body of warmer water, creating an unstable temperature profile in the atmosphere. As a result, clouds build over the lake and eventually develop into snow showers and squalls as they move downwind.
Why is the greatest density of water at 4 degree celsius important?
Fishes living in lakes which are prone to freezing in winter, take advantage of this property of water ( having greatest density at 4 degree celsius). When temperature starts reducing in winter, lake water cools upto 4degree celsius by convection as density increase with reduction in temp. On further cooling, due to abnormal expansion of water , density reduces & cold water remains at top .Then top layer frezees.Water being bad conductor of heat ,lake water below ice remains at 4 degrees & thus fishes can survive in winter also.
Why warm sea water is more saltier than cold ones?
When water evaporates it leaves salt behind causing water in warmer areas that have more evaporation to have saltier water. The Mediterranean Sea (from observation via thermal images from space) is one of the saltiest seas, also the Red Sea (to a lesser extent). Both the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake are so salty that most people find it easy to float. Lake Assal is considered the saltiest body of water outside of Antarctica. The Northern Pacific is at the other end of the spectrum, containing relatively lower ocean salinity. Water evaporation at phenomenal rate in warmer places causes accumulation of salt in respective area. Add to the fact that the warmer the water the higher the maximum saturation capacity and you have very salty seas. These are the main two factors of water salinity. There are areas in the world where fresh water mixes with salt water, thus reducing the salinity. These areas include: 1) The mouths of rivers; 2) The melting ice pack, such as in the Arctic and Antarctic; and 3) Areas around Greenland, where the glaciers 'calve' off, making icebergs. This list is not all inclusive.
How cold is big bear?
pretty cold, it snows up there, in the summer it gets warmer and people do water activities at big bear lake
Why its is cooler by the lake or any body of water in the summer and warmer by the lake in the winter?
Water can contain heat or the lack of it better than the air and ground around it. During winter the water will be heated up by the sun, even though it is cold out, and during the summer the water will retain the cold that it has been exposed to overnight.
Are there times a lake or river might be warmer or cooler?
Well sometimes they could be cold or sometimes they could just be warmer.
How does living near a large lake affect temperature?
Warmer in cold weather, cooler in hot weather. The mass of water warms up slowly, cools off slowly.
Why is water warmer on the top of a lake than beneath?
Heat rises.
What is colder the sea or a lake?
It depends on the time during the winter the sea is generally warmer than the lake because it has more mass to cool, But during the summer the lake is warmer than the sea because it has less water to heat.
Can tropical fish live with lake fish?
No. Tropical Fish required warmer water.
Where can you go water skiing in the North East?
Lake George. Lake Champlain.
Does Lake Michigan affect the climate in Chicago?
Yes, because Lake Michigan has a big effect on Chicago because it takes water longer to change temperature, than air. So weeks into the winter, the warmer lake can change the cold and dry air above the nearby land to a nicer temperature . It takes water longer to change temperature than air. So weeks into the winter, the warmer (and naturally more moist) lake can interact with the cold and dry air above the nearby land. When the wind is out of some easterly direction the result is lake effect snow.
Why dont cities that receive lake-effect snow in the winter also receive lake-effect rain in the summer?
Lake effect snow is driven by the instability caused by cold air flowing over a much warmer body of water. In the summer, the air moving over the lakes is generally considerably warmer, which doesn't generate that instability. In the fall, these same places do start to get lake effect rain as the colder air flows over the still-warm lakes, but the air is not quite cold enough to produce snow down to the surface.
What body of water water lies east of the Caspian Sea?
Garabogazköl Aylagy is a lake to the east of the Caspian Sea.
Lake Victoria contains more dissolved minerals per liter than Lake Erie Why might this be?
Temperature affects how much solute a solvent can dissolve. Most minerals are more soluble in warmer water than colder water. Therefore, because Lake Victoria is located in a warmer climate than Lake Erie, it is able to dissolve more minerals.
