Describe the general temperature and precipitation characteristics of the climate in regions of the tropical rainforest biome.
Using the global map of biome distribution (Map T-30 in the back of the Lab Manual), the map of climate distribution (Map T-29), the maps of global temperature (Maps T-28a and T-28b), the map of global precipitation (on the inside front cover of the Lab Manual), as well as information about Köppen climate types from Exercise 23, answer the question. What will be an ideal response?
sedimentary deposits built into relatively regular layers are known as ________.
a - intrusive exfoliation b - detrital striations c - strata d - clastic inclusions e - granite
Which of the following is the large, broad area that all the others are a part?
A) Drainage basin B) Interfluve C) Valley side D) Drainage divide E) Valley bottom
Using Map T-1, the “Hawaii, Hawaii,” topographic map (scale 1:250,000; contour interval 200 feet), calculate the gradient of Mauna Loa (19°28'17"N, 155°35'41"W) along line AB, from the 5000', contour (near Point A) toward the summit. On the edge of a piece of paper measure out a distance of 10 miles using the graphic map scale, and then determine the elevation change over that distance.
In this problem, you will compute the gradients of Mauna Loa in Hawai‘i, Mount Vsevidof in Alaska, and SP Mountain in Arizona. (You may also determine the elevation changes and distances needed to calculate these gradients by using Google Earth™.) The recommended starting point and distance to measure are given for all three volcanoes.
