Question

Part A - Snowpack Accumulation and Melting at Three Lava Mountain Locations Scientists at Johnson Reservoir try to predict the spring snowmelt because it affects the levels in the reservoir and could cause flooding along the streams in the area. Use the provided SNOTEL graphs, accessible by clicking on each station's name (West View, North Gap, and Lava Summit) on the map at the Lava Mountain SNOTEL link. Snowpack melting can be determined by the first decline in the snow water content line. When it reaches zero, the snowpack at the station has melted completely. Read more about how to read SNOTEL graphs at the Using SNOTEL Data link. After you have reviewed the graphs, label the sites with the correct descriptions. Drag the appropriate items into their respective bins. View Available Hint(s) Reset Help Site that is the best station for determining the final melting date of the Lava Mountain snowpack Site that will most likely show its last snowmelt in June Site that is the best indicator for the start of the spring snowmelt season Site that will most likely experience the longest snow season Site that shows an average of approximately 13.5 inches for peak snow water content Site that will most likely experience the shortest snow season North Gap West View Lava Summit

Answer 1

Ans.

North gap will include – (a) site that shows an average of approx. 13.5 inches for peak snow water content

West view will include – (a) site that is best station for determining the final melting date of Lava mountain snowpack, (b) Summit that will most likely experience shortest snow season (c) site that is the best indicator for the start of spring snowmelt season

Lava summit – (a) site that will most likely experience longest snow season (b) site that will most likely show its last snowmelt in june (since it is hilly and thus remains covered with ice in summers too)

I hope the answer is clear to you now, in case you have query further, please leave a comment we will try our best to fix it for you. goodluck
