deficit is _________________ - ___________________.
200,900 - CORRECT ANSWER - Plants use _______ to _________ times their body
weight in water
Atmosphere - CORRECT ANSWER - Solar constant = solar energy hitting the
____________.
47 - CORRECT ANSWER - Only ____% of the incoming radiation actually makes it to
Earth's surface.
Compare, potential ET, actual conditions, ETP, individual - CORRECT ANSWER - Once
we have a value for reference evapotranspiration, what do we do with that to get the actual
evapotranspiration for this specific crop on this day?
-_________ how your crop or setting relates to the maximum. This gives you the
_______________.
-Look at your crop under the ____________.
Actual ET= _________ X __________.
Stable, thermal storage battery, solvent, expands - CORRECT ANSWER - What makes
water unique?
, It is incredibly __________, it is a great ____________ for the Earth, it binds strongly to itself, it
is a great _____________, and it ________ when it feezes.
thermal storage battery - CORRECT ANSWER - Why is it critical that water stores a lot of
energy?
This lets it be a __________________ for the Earth.
Evaporation, transpiration, precipitation, infiltration, subsurface flow, runoff, concentrated
surface flow, baseflow, interflow - CORRECT ANSWER - List the 9 elements of the
hydrologic cycle
Sun, gravity, earth's rotation, earth's residual heat - CORRECT ANSWER - List the 4
driving forces of the hydrologic cycle
5.4 - CORRECT ANSWER - The temperature decreases by about _______ deg F with
every 1000ft increase in elevation
Cyclonic, frontal, convective, orthographic - CORRECT ANSWER - 4 ways in which air
lifting occurs
Cyclonic lifting - CORRECT ANSWER - In high pressure systems, air wants to rise.
Lifting of air into low pressure causes air to become wetter.
Frontal - CORRECT ANSWER - Warm air goes above cold air b/c cold air is denser
Convective - CORRECT ANSWER - Instability caused by uneven heating
Orthographic - CORRECT ANSWER - Mechanical uplifting by mountains
