How can you use the calculation of the climate ratio to determine the climate type?
We can calculate the climate ratio to determine the climate type.if the climate ratio is less than 0.4 the climate type would be arid,if the climate ratio is between 0.4 to 0.8 climate ratio would be semirid ,if the climate ratio is between 0.8 to 1.2 climate type would be subhumid andif the climate ratio is greater than 1.2 climate type would be humid.The formula for climate ratio is p/Ep, wherep=precipitationEp=potential evapotranspiration.

What is a climate ratio?
Climate ratio is used to describe the moisture side of climate. It compares the precipitation (P) with the potential evapotranspiration (Ep) for a region. One way to do this is to express the relationship between them as a ratio using the formula: Climate ratio = P / Ep When the potential evaporation is greater than yearly precipitation, this ratio is less than 1. When precipitation is greater than evapotranspiration, the ratio is greater than 1. P: precipitation (in mm) or the amount of moisture available for evapotranspiration, evapotranspiration is the combined process of evaporation and plant respiration. Ep: potential evapotranspiration (in mm) or the amount of moisture needed for evapotranspiration. This value increases as temperature and plant life increase. The climate ratios are used to determine climate type: P/Ep: Less than 0.4: arid climate 0.4 - 0.8: semiarid climate 0.8 - 1.2: subhumid climate Greater than 1.2: humid climate Source: NOAA

What are 2 factors that affect the rate of weathering?
The most important factors that determine the rate at which weathering occurs are the type of rock and the climate. Rainfall affects the rate of weathering.

How do you calculate specific gravity of a petroleum product?
How to calculate the specific gravity of a petroleum product involves using the ratio of the specific product density to that of water. This type of calculation is always determined at 60-degrees Fahrenheit.
