Occluded front is formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front. | |||||
Cold fronts move the fastest. | |||||

Porosity does not depend on particle size. | |||||
The diagram above represents two identical containers filled with samples of loosely packed sediments. |

As particle size increases, permeability increases. | |||||
Capillarity increases when particle size decreases. | |||||

Ep (potential evapotranspiration) depends on temperature. | |||||
Notice how the highest level of potential evapotranspiration takes place in July, which is the hottest month of the year. |
|||||
Water bodies moderate temperature. | |||||
