Although the lowest salinity values are just north of the equator ( because of heavy tropical rainfall ), in general the lowest values are in the high latitudes and along coasts where large rivers enter.

Maximum salinity values occur at about 25 ° north and south, in subtropical regions with low rainfall and high evaporation.

In general, the plateau experiences high temperatures and almost no rainfall in summer and cold weather with heavy snow in winter.

The Sahel in the north typically receives less than 600 millimeters ( 23. 6 in ) of rainfall per year and has high temperatures, 5 – 47 degrees Celsius ( 41 – 116. 6 ° F ).

This is region of sparse rainfall and high median temperatures has been included as part of the East Sudanian savanna ecoregion.

Leaf litter and humus are rapidly oxidized and poorly retained in sub-tropical and tropical climate conditions due to high temperatures and extensive leaching by rainfall.

Rain forests are characterized by high rainfall, with definitions setting minimum normal annual rainfall between and.

A megathermal climate is one with persistent high temperatures and abundant rainfall, with potential annual evaporation in excess of.

Conakry's year-round average high is, and the low is ; its average annual rainfall is.

There are several high mountains including Mount Tabor and Mount Meron in the region, which have relatively low temperatures and high rainfall.

Due to its high rainfall ( 900 – 1200 mm ), mild temperatures and high mountains ( Mount Meron's elevation is 1, 000 – 1, 208 metres ), the upper Galilee region contains some unique flora and fauna: prickly juniper ( Juniperus oxycedrus ), Lebanese cedar ( Cedrus libani ), which grows in a small grove on Mount Meron, cyclamens, paeonias and Rhododendron ponticum which sometimes appears on Meron.

The Caribbean lowlands have a tropical wet climate with consistently high temperatures and humidity, and rainfall fairly evenly distributed throughout the year.

Average rainfall is high compared to the majority of the British Isles, due to its location to the western side of Great Britain and sufficient distance from Ireland for moisture to be accumulated by the prevailing south-westerly winds.

In common with most islands of the west coast of Scotland, rainfall is generally high at between per annum on Bute, the Cumbraes and in the south of Arran and per annum in the north of Arran.

There are small amounts of rainfall and the summer temperature is very high.

Rainfall is not always adequate for rice cultivation, however, and the relatively high average precipitation conceals years where rainfall may be only half or less of the norm, causing significant declines in rice yields.

Winters are mild, summers fairly cool, and rainfall is high.

The high rainfall in summer sent flood water into the Diamantina, Georgina and Cooper Creek catchments of the Lake Eyre basin, with the Cooper Creek reaching the lake for the first time since 1990.

This very high rainfall leads to temperate rain forests in the coastal lowlands and a reliable source of snow in the mountains to keep the glaciers flowing.

Another approach would be to build large dams — in gorges crossing the Mahabharat Range or further upstream — with storage capacities measured in cubic kilometers to capture high flows during the monsoon when there is usually enough rainfall on the plains if not flooding, then releasing water for hydroelectric generation and irrigation especially during the hot and dry pre-monsoon " summer ".

This climate is influenced by the monsoons originating from the South Atlantic ocean, which is brought into the country by the ( maritime tropical ) MT airmass, a warm moist sea to land seasonal wind. Its warmth and high humidity gives it a strong tendency to ascend and produce copious rainfall, which is a result of the condensation of water vapour in the rapidly rising air.

Special relativity explains the motion of objects with a high velocity, approaching the speed of light ; general relativity is employed to handle gravitation motion at a deeper level.

The Catholic Encyclopedia author then explains the identification of Mary of Bethany with Mary Magdalene by the presumption that, because of Jesus ’ high praise of her deed of anointing him, it would be incredible that she should also not have been at his crucifixion and resurrection.

The number of variables involved in such experiments is high, making nutritional studies time-consuming and expensive, which explains why the science of human nutrition is still slowly evolving.

The Cone of Uncertainty explains some of this as the planning made on the initial phase of the project suffers from a high degree of uncertainty.

Electron pairing due to phonon exchanges explains superconductivity in conventional superconductors, but it does not explain superconductivity in the newer superconductors that have a very high critical temperature.

It shows how astronomical observations prove the inverse square law of gravitation ( to an accuracy that was high by the standards of Newton's time ); offers estimates of relative masses for the known giant planets and for the Earth and the Sun ; defines the very slow motion of the Sun relative to the solar-system barycenter ; shows how the theory of gravity can account for irregularities in the motion of the Moon ; identifies the oblateness of the figure of the Earth ; accounts approximately for marine tides including phenomena of spring and neap tides by the perturbing ( and varying ) gravitational attractions of the Sun and Moon on the Earth's waters ; explains the precession of the equinoxes as an effect of the gravitational attraction of the Moon on the Earth's equatorial bulge ; and gives theoretical basis for numerous phenomena about comets and their elongated, near-parabolic orbits.

The high calcium content in coca explains why people used it for bone fractures.

The assumption that the space between particles is much larger than the particles themselves is of paramount importance, and explains why the ideal gas approximation fails at high pressures.

" Mr. Rooney then explains to Ferris how he has waited for this day and tells him to expect another year of high school.

The newly invented machine gun and repeating rifle redefined firepower on the battlefield and, in part, explains the high casualty rates of the American Civil War.

The number of variables involved in such experiments is high, making nutritional studies time-consuming and expensive, which explains why the science of human nutrition is still slowly evolving.

This explains the low hardness and high ductility of single crystals of copper.

The low hardness of copper partly explains its high electrical ( 59. 6 × 10 < sup > 6 </ sup > S / m ) and thus also high thermal conductivity, which are the second highest among pure metals at room temperature.

* The use of an additional entropy coding tool, and higher frequency accuracy ( due to the larger number of frequency sub-bands used by MP3 ) explains why MP3 doesn't need as high a bit rate as MP2 to get an acceptable audio quality.

She explains that families who are willing to pay the rather high costs of hospitalization do so to prove their own sanity.

This explains the willingness to pay the high financial costs of hospitalization.

Flamini explains that the equation for MGM's success depended on combining stars, a Broadway hit or popular classic, and high standards of production.

This hard lava cap has retarded erosion in many places and possibly explains why Manly Beacon, the high outcrop to the right, is much higher than other portion of the badlands.

The special jet orientation explains the general peculiar characteristics: high observed luminosity, very rapid variation, high polarization ( when compared with non-blazar quasars ), and the apparent superluminal motions detected along the first few parsecs of the jets in most blazars.

Concerned that such ideas might " reach the eyes of young sailors " he earnestly explains in great detail his renewed commitment to a literal reading of the Bible, with arguments that rock layers high in the mountains containing sea shells are actually proof of Noah's Flood and that the six days of creation could not have extended over aeons because the grass, herbs and trees would have died out during the long nights.

Magnusson ( 1986 ) explains why consumption of spirits was so high in a typical preindustrial village ( Eskilstuna ) in Sweden, 1820 – 50.

The high concentration of glutamates explains the strong umami taste of Parmigiano.
