What is one of the factors that causes global warming desertification and a loss of topsoil?
One of the major factors in the current spread of deserts in Africa is the enormous infestations of aquatic weeds in their streams and lakes. Water hyacinth, water lettuce, cattails and others clog almost every body of water in Africa. The evapotranspiration rate where they are is several times that of clear water, and they slow down the water so that it has more time to evaporate. Cattails in particular, absorb a huge amount of water making more cattail. The net result is a dessication machine. The roughly 20,000 sq km of cattails in Lake Chad are sucking Lake Chad dry,and with the Lake, the groundwater it should replenish.
What air mass can cause lake effect snow?
An Arctic air mass moving over relatively warm lake water can cause lake effect snow. As the cold air near the surface picks up moisture from the warmer lake, it becomes unstable and produces localized bands of heavy snow downwind of the lake.

Which atmospheric condition will cause the greatest amount of evaporation from the surface of a lake?
Warm and dry atmospheric conditions will cause the greatest amount of evaporation from the surface of a lake. Higher temperatures and lower humidity levels create a larger moisture gradient between the lake's surface and the atmosphere, leading to increased evaporation rates.
How much rainfall is at a lake?
It depends on the lake, and where the lake is located. If the lake is in a desolate area then it will have more rainfall then a lake surrounded by other lakes which could cause run off from the others.
What is the impact of global warming on the lake?
Global warming can result in rising water temperatures in lakes, leading to changes in the ecosystem and potentially disrupting the balance of aquatic life. It can also contribute to increased algal blooms, reduced oxygen levels, and altered water chemistry, impacting the overall health and biodiversity of the lake. Additionally, global warming can exacerbate water scarcity issues, affecting the availability and quality of water for human use.
Did global warming cause the Haiti earthquake?
It is impossible to say whether global warming did or did not contribute to the strength of Hurricane Katrina. Hurricanes of that strength have been hitting the Gulf Coast far longer than humans have been there to witness them. However, the effects of Katrina on New Orleans and other areas were worse than they could have been due to environmental issues such as destruction of wetlands on the Mississippi Delta, and obviously with some of the factors that lead to New Orleans being below sea level with Lake Ponchartrain on the other side of it.
What are the average temperatures in early October traveling around Lake Michigan?
It varies from -11 to 1 degree's however this year it is thought to be much warmer because of global warming.
What are some by-products of hydro power?
Dependence on regular rain fall which, as you know is a problem that will get worse with global warming. Google Atlanta Lake Lanier for a preview of what happens when it doesn't rain.

What is silting of lake?
Silting of a lake is when very fine particles of sand or clay fill the bed of the lake. The bed of the lake rises, which can cause flooding.
Does pollution cause animal extinction?
Pollution is killing animals because of many things. One example is litter - small animals like door mice could get trapped in an empty packet of crisps an animal my cut themselves on some broken glass - that sort of thing. Another way is by chucking litter into a lake or pond - animals such as swans could choke on some litter! Hope this has helped :Dx
What factors influence the types of climate and vegatation found in the US and Canada?
Ocean currents, mountain ranges and passes are just some of the factors. Others include the ice sheet from the last ice age and lakes such as Lake Agassiz. More recent would be urbanization, global warming, deforestation and even pollution and smog.
What can cause health problems of drinking and swimming in Lake Ontario?
Harmful bacteria is found in Lake Ontario.
