Show hintHide hint
Think about the full term related to water loss.
Question 2.
Name one component of the Soil Water Balance equation.
Show hintHide hint
It's one of the letters in the equation.
3Question 3.
What does AET represent?
- Potential Evapotranspiration
- Actual Evapotranspiration
- Atmospheric Evapotranspiration
Show hintHide hint
It's the actual amount that is lost, not what could be under ideal conditions.
4Question 4.
True or False: The Lysimeter Method directly measures AET through calculations.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how measurements are taken.
Question 5.
Using the Soil Water Balance Method, calculate AET if P = 50mm, R = 10mm, D = 5mm, and ΔS = 20mm.
Show hintHide hint
Use the equation and plug in the numbers.
Question 6.
Evaluate the appropriateness of using lysimeters in an arid region versus a temperate region for studying evapotranspiration.
Show hintHide hint
Think about water availability and use scenarios.
