Document Summary
Geog 2400 final: be familiar with the composition and characteristics of the two lowest levels of our atmosphere, troposphere. Taller at equator than at the poles: most dense, most weather happens here, convective currents create weather . Temperatures tend to cool with altitude: stratosphere. From 10-30 miles" up: much less mass than troposphere, home to the ozone layer which absorbs much incoming ultra-violet radiation. What are some challenges in creating urban green spaces in the restoration of urban hydrology: milwaukee"s deep tunnel project. In 2004, 5 inches of rain fell into metropolitan milwaukee. Storm water inundated the deep tunnel storage facility. The metropolitan sewage district released 4. 6 billion gallons of storm runoff and ran sewage into lake michigan. They did this to prevent it from flowing into basements: how can green spaces and trees affect storm water runoff, green spaces are important sinks for undesirable inputs.
