Snow Leopards

Although little is known about Snow leopards because of their reclusive nature, there are thought to be less than 7,000 in the wild currently. Because of this, Snow leopards are an endangered species. These strikingly beautiful cats, which belong to their own genus, the genus Uncia, make their home in the rocky mountainous regions of South Asia and Central Asia.

Your father told you it snowed in flint on the 4th of July sometime around 1950-56 yes I don't think there was any accumilation but there was snow in the air would there be some records somewhere?

This type of data would really only be available from the National Climatic Data Center. The only Flint station with data during these years was located at Bishop Intl Airport, so keep in mind there may have been snow in the air in the area but not reported at the station:

There was no snow reported during any of those years on that date, and it looks very unlikely that there was snow in the air, either. 1953 might be the best candidate - the temperature that morning was 49 degrees (which then rose all the way to 80 in the afternoon) with a trace of precipitation reported. It's conceivable that it was colder in some locations nearby, but pretty unlikely that it was up to 10 degrees colder, which is right around where I would draw the cutoff for snow in the air. Tough to tell without knowing what the atmosphere was doing, and the reanalysis product that I would use to draw a weather map for that day is not working at the moment.

How much snow does Iqaluit have?

Iqaluit typically receives around 166 cm (65 inches) of snowfall per year. Snow is common in Iqaluit from October to May.

What are snow lepords biggest threat?

The biggest threats to snow leopards are poaching for their fur and body parts, habitat loss due to human activities such as mining and infrastructure development, and retaliatory killings by local communities to protect their livestock. Climate change is also a threat as it affects the availability of prey and alters the snow leopard's habitat.

What might happen to this food web if the ecosystem it represents experienced a serious climatic change that caused most of the ecosystem's streams to dry up?

If the streams dried up, the populations of fish and aquatic invertebrates would decline due to loss of habitat. This would impact predators that rely on these species for food, potentially leading to a domino effect of species decline or shift in the food web within the ecosystem.

The organelle that is a major producer of ATP and is found in both heterotrophs and autotrophs is the?

mitochondrion. It is known as the powerhouse of the cell because it generates ATP through cellular respiration. Mitochondria are found in most eukaryotic cells, including both heterotrophs and autotrophs.

Why is there frost on the cars on mornings when the day is going to be warm but not on days its going to stay cold?

One scenario is this:

If there are no clouds in the sky the night will generally be more chilly since clouds tends to reduce the heat emission from the earth. Likewise, in the daytime the absence of clouds let's the sun heat up the earth and make the day relatively warmer.

What ecosystem do snow leopards live in?

Snow leopards inhabit mountainous ecosystems, typically found in Central Asia at elevations between 3,000 and 5,500 meters. They are adapted to living in rugged terrains with steep slopes, rocky outcrops, and sparse vegetation. These elusive cats thrive in alpine and sub-alpine regions with cold temperatures and prey on animals like ibex, blue sheep, and marmots.

What can I do my neighbors snow plowing contactor pushed the snow from their parking lot against my fence and damaged it and the police say it is a civil matter?

If i were you i would go and ask your neighbors if they could help you move the snow and build a new fence.

There is no criminal charge, so the police will not get involved. What you can do is bring a civil law suit against the snow plow contractor. They should have insurance to take care of these types of issues. I'd start with a letter to the contractor and depending on how they respond, I'd contact a lawyer in your area.

You might also contact your homeowners insurance company. They may help pay for the damage and then go after the contractor.

Is this a simile the snow floated down like feathers leaving the town hushed and white?

Well a simile is comparing two things using 'like' or 'as.' This is comparing snow to feathers, and uses 'like' so I believe it is a simile.

What implies the greatest built-in momentum for population growth- a. a large population size b. a large number of people age 20-44 c. people under 35 d. people under 15 e. over 60?

b. a large number of people age 20-44 implies the greatest built-in momentum for population growth as this age group typically represents the peak childbearing years and is essential for replenishing and growing the population.

In siaberia can it get so cold you can see your breath freeze into ice in midair?

Yes, in Siberia, temperatures can drop so low that moisture in your breath can freeze into tiny ice crystals in midair. This phenomenon is known as "diamond dust" and occurs in extremely cold and dry conditions. It is quite rare but can happen in places with very low temperatures like Siberia.

How can winter white frost can form on the ground when minimum temperature indicates well above freezing?

It can't if it is "well" above freezing, but certainly if it is only a few degrees. The surface on a calm, cold night will radiate heat away from it rapidly. If there is little wind to mix the air, the coldest air near the surface will sink to the ground so that the temperature right at the surface where frost forms is at or just below the freezing point, while just above that where temperature is officially measured (2 meters) it can be several degrees warmer.

Why is snow carried so easily by wind?

Snow is easily carried by wind because of its light and fluffy nature. The small, intricate structure of individual snowflakes allows them to be picked up and transported by even light breezes. Additionally, the low density and lack of cohesion between snowflakes make them highly susceptible to being lifted and blown about by wind currents.

Does Calif get snow on mountains?

Can it snow at 45 degrees Fahrenheit?

Yes, it is possible for snow to occur at temperatures around 45 degrees Fahrenheit if atmospheric conditions are conducive to snow formation and the air higher up in the atmosphere is cold enough to support snowflakes reaching the ground without melting.

What type of sounds do leopards make?

Leopards are known to make a variety of sounds, including growls, purrs, hisses, snarls, and even a distinctive hoarse, rasping cough-like call. These sounds are used for communication, such as marking territory, warning off rivals, or attracting mates.

How many sex chromosomes does your mother give to a normal baby........and father?

The mother and father both give a normal baby 23 chromosomes. This is because, a normal human has 46 chromosomes in all cells, except sex cells. So, a human receives half from the mother and half from the father thus 23 from each.

Yes, and the climate was slightly cooler (coming out of the little ice age, particularly in the early part, as well as little to no anthropogenic warming) so it likely snowed a little bit more.
