A critically important part of the hydrologic cycle is the transpiration of water through plants into the atmosphere. This water has traveled from the roots up to the top leaves and then moves out as water vapor
In the case of some plants, such as redwood trees, this can be a distance of hundreds of feet. Explain how it is that water can move up naturally, when forces of gravity might make one think that this is impossible. What will be an ideal response
Emissivity
A) can have values greater than one. B) will always be less than one for any object that is not a black body. C) is typically .1 or below for most natural surfaces encountered on Earth. D) is constant for the atmosphere.
The Saffir-Simpson scale
A) uses storm surge as the best predictor of storm damage. B) is no longer used by most meteorologists. C) shows that most hurricanes are Category 5. D) is based primarily on wind speed. E) is also used to categorize tornadoes.
