List and describe four(4)main geologic features that are explained by the tectonic plates theory.
The jet stream is a powerful force affecting the UK’s weather with reference to examples you have studied explain how
1.a - Calculate the flow rate in the shallow sandstone groundwater aquifer (use highest hydraulic conductivity of sandstone in Table 9.1) with porosity 0.35 and hydraulic head measured at three locations below. Location A is 22 m, Location B is 33 m, and Location C is 25.6 m 1.b - An instantaneous, illegal dump of 1 kg of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) occurs in the aquifer from Problem 1 1000 m up-gradient from a drinking water well. What is the maximum concentration of PFOA that could be expected in the drinking water well (assume no retardation or reaction)? 1.c - Calculate the maximum concentration and the time at which the maximum concentration is expected with retardation and no reaction (PFOA is a “forever chemical” with a half-life >90 years in groundwater). KOC = 130 L/kg, foc = 0.5%, porosity = 0.35, bulk density of soil = 2.5 kg/L.

The United Nations developed an assessment that evaluates a woman's status in a country based on participation in areas such as professional jobs, elected positions and average income. What is the name of this particular evaluation?
describe the climate of a typical continental city/region and explain it has these characteristics
Purpose: To gain deeper understanding of the processes involved in the formation of clouds and precipitation.

- On Figure 8-2, consider a sample of air denoted by the * with a tem- perature of −15◦C and ea = 1.72mb. If, at −15◦C, es = 1.91mb with respect to water, what is the RH?
- What will likely happen to liquid water when the surrounding envi- ronment is unsaturated?
- What is the RH with respect to ice if, at −15◦C, es = 1.65mb with respect to ice?
- What happens to water vapour if, with respect to the surrounding ice crystals, the environment is supersaturated?
