Question

Ch 7- Rivers and Flooding Flashcards / Quizlet Exam #1 earn mpt... 5251 Calculate the change in storage of the Salton Sea, based solely on average annual precipitation and average annual evapotranspiration. Use your knowledge of the conceptually correct scenario below (choose one of the the following scenarios: #1, #2, OR #3) Then use values from the correct scenario to calculate the change in storage/year #1: Precipitation-23 inches/year, Evapotranspiration-23 inchesyear. #3: Precipitation 70 inches/year; Evapotranspiration·3 inches/year. Select one: a-change in storage 73 inches b. change in storage 46 inches c·change in storage = 210 inches d. Change in storage-67 inches echange in storage 0 inches 3 4 7

Explanation / Answer

Answer d, e.

Change in storage= precipitation-evapotranspiration

Given:#1: Precipitation=23 inches/year , Evapotranspiration=23 inches/year

Therefore change in storage=23-23=0

Given #2: Precipitation= 3 inches/year , Evapotranspiration= 70 inches/year

Therefore change in storage=3-70=-67

Given #3 Precipitation=70 inches/year , Evapotranspiration= 3 inches/year

Therefore change in storage=70-3=67
