How do index contours let you know if the land you are viewing are increasing or decreasing?
Each index contour has an elevation associated with it. When you look at 2 contours, one will have a higher corresponding elevation. As you go from the lower elevation to the higher elevation, you know that the land is increasing in the direction toward the higher elevation. From the higher to the lower elevation, the land is decreasing (sloping downward, decreasing in elevation).
What is the relationship between elevation and temperature?
As a general rule in the atmosphere, the higher the elevation the lower the temperature. However, certain atmospheric conditions may produce an 'inversion', where temperature increases with elevation.
What actually transferred when you dipped your finger in to the cold water?
When you dip your finger into cold water, thermal energy is transferred from your warmer skin to the cooler water. This transfer of heat occurs because heat moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature in an attempt to reach thermal equilibrium. As your finger loses heat, you perceive the sensation of cold. The water molecules, being at a lower temperature, absorb the heat, which causes the temperature of your finger to drop.
The reduced vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a?
The higher the vapor pressure of a liquid at a given temperature, the lower the normal boiling point (i.e., the boiling point at atmospheric pressure) of the liquid.
What is a drainage basin best defined?
There are many different kinds of drainage basin on the surface of the earth.
Why are areas of higher elevation colder compared to areas of lower elevation?
Areas of higher elevation are colder compared to areas of lower elevation because the air pressure is lower at higher elevations, causing the air to expand and cool. Additionally, as you move higher in elevation, the atmosphere becomes thinner and contains less heat-absorbing gases, leading to lower temperatures.
Why water flows from higer level to lower?
Gravity is what causes a river to flow from higher to lower elevation. A river travels at a faster speed the higher the elevation and will typically cause greater erosion.
Does green indicate land that is higher or lower than a brown color?
In most maps, green usually indicates land that is lower in elevation than brown areas. Green typically represents lower lying areas such as plains, valleys, or basins, while brown is used for higher elevation areas like mountains or plateaus.
Does water flow a higher or lower elevation to a higher or lower elevation?
Water flows from a higher elevation to a lower elevation due to gravity. It seeks the lowest point possible as it moves downstream.
When you are moving inland does the land elevation increase or decrease?
The land elevation generally increases as you move inland from the coast. This is because coastal areas are often lower in elevation compared to inland areas that can be higher in elevation, such as mountains or plateaus.
The boiling point of water in Nevada?
It depends where you are in Nevada. The boiling point will be lower in areas at a higher elevation.
Is the elevation of eastern Africa higher or lower than western Africa?
Lower in elevation.
Which do you think would have a higher concentration of dissolved minerals a lake at higher elevation or a lake at a lower elevation?
A lake at lower elevation typically has a higher concentration of dissolved minerals compared to a lake at higher elevation. This is often due to factors such as increased evaporation rates in lower areas, which can concentrate minerals, and the potential for runoff from surrounding land that brings in additional minerals. Additionally, higher elevation lakes may receive more precipitation in the form of snow, which dilutes mineral concentrations. Therefore, the environmental conditions at lower elevations generally lead to higher mineral concentrations.
Why hill station climate are always cool?
A "hillstation" is on a hill thus at a higher elevation in comparison to the surrouding area. Higher elevation areas are often cooler then lower elevation areas. Plus hillstations are built on cooler higher elevation areas so local residents or tourist can "escape" their hotter hometowns and vacation on these areas
Electrons flow from areas of higher to lower voltage or from areas of lower to higher voltage?
Electronsflow from areas of lower to higher voltage, while Current flow from areas higher to lower voltage.
Is pressure higher at a lower or at a higher elevation?
Pressure decreases with increasing elevation, so pressure is higher at lower elevations and vice versa. This is because the density of the atmosphere decreases as you move further away from the Earth's surface.
What is the boiling point of custard?
it depends on your elevation at the time, higher for lower, lower for higher
