How tall does papaya tree grow?
According to information from the Central Florida Palm and Cycad Society, in general, papaya trees do not transplant well. They do have a short root system. The bright side is they grow very quickly from seed. Here is a link with lots of good suggestions and info from the society. http://207.210.245.133/forum/viewtopic.php?t=426&highlight=&sid=2f099382b2c0cdab6f3506e801f7ea8f

How does rain affect a football?
If the umpire believes the game can be played safely and well the game will continue despite the rain or snow. As soon as this is not the case, the game will be delayed. Usually if the umpire expects the delay to be significantly more than an hour, the game will be stopped.
The game is considered an official game if it is stopped after 5 or more innings of play. If the home team is winning after four and a half innings, it is also official. Whoever was winning after the last complete inning is declared the winner. If the game is tied, the game will usually be resumed at a later date from the point where it was stopped.
If the game is stopped after fewer than five innings, it is replayed from the start at a later date. Occasionally a rained-out game is not made up, if it has no bearing on the final playoff picture.
What is the equipment needed in lacrosse?
In Lacrosse you use a stick, consisting of two parts, the head and the shaft. You also wear protective equipment such as a Helmet, Shoulder Pads, Arm Pads, Gloves, and sometimes rib pads. Rib Pads are not required.
In mens there is generally the shoulder pads, arm pads, gloves, the cup, the helmet, and the stick which is either the short stick or the defensive pole.
In womens the equipment is basically a stick the length of a mens short stick, optional gloves, and goggles.
Both have to wear mouthguards because no one wants to lose teeth, or get a concussion. Both have goalies that wear chest pads and helmets with thigh pads. The shin guards are preferred but are mainly up to the goalie or the coach as well as any other pads.
I'm not sure about mens lacrosse but for womens all you need is an approved stick, mouthguard, and eye protection goggles.
Men use helmets, gloves, elbow/arm guards/protectors, chest pads, a stick (made up of the shaft and head), a cup, and optionaly rib guards (very useful for midis and attack because you get slap and poke checked a lot).
Men's and women's lacrosse require different equipment, since the rules for the sport are different.
Men's lacrosse equipment:
- Lacrosse cleats or an athletic tennis shoe
- An athletic supporter and athletic cup
- Chest and shoulder pads (optional)
- Arm guards (optional)
- Helmet with full face mask
- Lacrosse stick with head
- Lacrosse ball
- Mouthguard
Women's lacrosse equipment:
- Lacrosse cleats or an athletic tennis shoe
- Lacrosse goggles
- Lacrosse stick with head
- Lacrosse ball
- Mouthguard
For Men's Lacrosse:
You need lacrosse gloves , arm guards, helmet, shoulder pads, and a lacrosse stick
For Women's Lacrosse:
You need a lacrosse stick, goggles, a mouth guard. Gloves and cleats are optional
Why is the rainforests so luxuriant?
because there are specific climatic inputs and they influence the soil and vegetation growth.The climatic inputs include the sunlight,temperature and rainfall,they are correlated and influense each other.
Sunlight gives a strong insolation in tropical is an important factor to the remaining factors.Tropical rainforest locates between10 ¢XN to 10¢XS.Because the angle of insolation is high throughout the whole year ,so it can receive a strong and intense insolation in the whole year .So the temperature of tropical rainforest is constantly high and there is no extreme climate. They can receive enough sunlight, have photosynthesis to get a high vegetation productivity.
Temperature influenced by sunlight determines the growth of plants.When there is extreme weather condition,that means the annual range and daily range of temperature is very high,the growing season becomes short,vegetation easily wilts.But in tropical rainforests,the constant sunlight gives a moderate climate.This environment favours vegetation growth in the whole year and there is lack of seasonality.
The amount of precipitation also influence the vegetation growth.In the tropics,because of the intense heat brought by the sunlight,hot air rises rapidly and cool down.Relative humidity rises and air condenses to form rain clouds,so there are convection rains regularly and the annual rainfall is above 2500mm.As a result,there is enough moisture to support plants growth and favours photosynthesis.The vegetation productivity becomes high.
Which would be an adaptation in very cold place but not in a rain forest?
fur that blends in with snow
Why is a thermos flask good at keeping drinks cold as well as hot?
Because it has good insulation so it prevents boss loss and gain of heat from the surrounding ----
Well that's true, but more interestingly, it has a glass chamber inside which is smaller than the outer casing. The air between the glass chamber and the outer casing has had almost all of the air removed, and is therefore a vacuum.
This makes the heat unable to escape between the inner chamber and the outer casing, keeping the liquid hot. It also stops heat from outside being able to get into the liquid stored in the glass chamber, therefore keeping it cold.
Most of the heat from the flask is lost from the lid, since the liquid has to come out of somewhere.
Does your period stop while your in water?
No. Your period can't actually STOP fully when you are in water... however, if you are swimming, because you are lying horizontally in the water, the blood will not pour out, i go swim training 6hrs a week, so i just wear a tampon just in case!
The water pressure helps hold the menstrual fluid inside your body, even though the lining is still shedding. Also, since most people are in a horizontal position when swimming, gravity isn't pulling the fluid downwards. However, as soon as you get out of the water, the menstrual fluid will again begin to exit the vagina, and you will have a problem. Therefore, it is best to wear a tampon or a menstrual cup when swimming.
No. It helps to wear a tampon if you're swimming and the water will just dilute the blood. It doesn't affect the blood flow at all.
What foods provide animal protein?
I will presume by "good" source you mean high in available protein while being low in saturated fats and cholesterol. The animal protein with the highest bioavailability (meaning, you digest and absorb the most nutrients) is eggs. Second would probably be fish, particularly coldwater fish such as salmon and cod. After this would be lean pork and lean beef, although they may be interchanged with lean chicken and turkey. Milk and other dairy products are good sources of protein, but they also tend to have relatively high amounts of saturated fats.
