- the distribution of temperature and rainfall in biomes.
- the tilt of the Earth as it orbits about the sun.

Students have asked these similar questions
What role do oceans play in the water cycle?
They are the main site for water infiltration into the soil, supporting underground aquifers and maintaining soil moisture levels
They primarily act as a storage reservoir for groundwater and contribute minimally to atmospheric moisture
They serve as the primary source of evaporation, which contributes to the formation of clouds and precipitation
They absorb water vapor directly from the atmosphere and help regulate global humidity levels
As light-colored ice and snow in polar regions melt due to warming, the loss
of reflectivity leads to more melting and more warming. This is an example
of
a positive feedback loop
the Milankovitch cycle
the albedo effect
the greenhouse effect
Acidification
The seasons are best explained by
A The distribution of temperature and rainfall in biomes.
The fact that the equator is warm and the poles are cold.
C The tilt of the Earth on its axis
D
The distance the earth is to the sun during its annual orbit.

Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle," there is no beginning or end. Heat energy from the sun drives the water cycle. Main processes of the water cycle are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Lake 1. The processes involved in the water cycle are labeled with letters A-G in the diagram. Use the words below to identify each process and write it on the lines provided. condensation root uptake percolation evaporation A runoff transpiration precipitation F D A D Farrow_forward

Using this information, write down which biome each city has in it. Be careful to read the numbers along The numbers along the Y-axis carefully. For precipitation, you will need to look at figure 2.2, which has annual precipitation numbers in centimeters. Then compare them to the monthly precipitation numbers in the graph, which are in millimeters. It may be helpful to add up The graph numbers and convert that number to centimeters in order to determine the Biome. Average temperatures are also represented on figure 2.2. Answer choices A.
