High desert is 5000 feet and above. There is also a difference in the flora and fauna. Since the high deserts usually experiences lower temperatures and stay colder longer the plants have adapted to a shorter growing season. Low desert can also have elevations below sea level.

What high and low of mars?

Mars has a high elevation in its Tharsis volcanic region, which features the largest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons, standing about 13.6 miles (22 kilometers) high. On the low end, the Hellas Planitia, a vast impact basin, reaches about 7 miles (11 kilometers) below the average Martian surface level. This dramatic variation in elevation contributes to Mars' diverse geology and landscape.


The end of a valley glacier is at a lower elevation than its point of orgin is. how does this help explain melting at its end while snow and ice still are accumulating where it originated?

The end of a valley glacier, or terminus, is at a lower elevation where temperatures are generally warmer, leading to increased melting. Meanwhile, at the glacier's origin, which is at a higher elevation, temperatures are cooler, allowing for continued snowfall and accumulation of ice. This elevation gradient creates a balance where the glacier can still gain mass at its source while losing mass at its lower end due to melting. Thus, the combination of elevation and temperature differences explains the contrasting dynamics at different points along the glacier.


How would you describe the land elevation toward the end of his journey?

Well, darling, the land elevation toward the end of his journey is higher than where he started. It's called elevation gain, honey. So, if he's climbing a hill or a mountain, he's going up, not down. It's not rocket science, sweetie.

How do you lift water from a low elevation open vessel to a higher elevation open vessel without a pump or screw?

One method to lift water without a pump or screw is by using a siphon. Start by filling a tube with one end in the low elevation vessel and the other end higher in the air than the water level. You can then create a continuous flow by initially sucking water through the tube to start the siphon process.

How do you interpret first and third angle projection?

The front elevation is in the centre in both projections. In 1st angle projection the end elevation is on the opposite side of the front elevation and the plan view is below the front elevation. In 3rd angle projection the plan view is above the front elevation and the end elevations are on the same side as viewed


What is invert in drainage system?

The invert is the exact elevation of a drainage facility or pipe where the water is designed to flow. If a 2 foot dia. pipe crosses the road, one end of the pipe will be higher than the other, say 6 inches of fall. Say the high end (elevation measured at the end of the pipe at the flowline) is at elev. 325.00 The elev of the low end at the end flowline would be 324.50. 325.00 is the invert in 324.50 is the invert out
