Geology and Other Sciences
Precipitation is an occurrence, which is associated with a solid in the atmosphere, but condenses into water vapor. This is because the elements that contribute to climate change come from the environment. Kuwait country is very dusty, which means that it has that the ability of condensing any favor that comes from the atmosphere (Abidal & Suleiman, 2011). The country is a desert according to the United Nations. This is despite the fact that Kuwait is one of the strategic countries that the United States recognizes as a strategic country in the Middle East. Been a desert country, it means that the country has also many precipitates that float over the states’ atmosphere. This can be attributed to that the nation is dusty and as a result, most of the dust that is blown from the surface goes to the atmosphere. Why the country receives substantial amounts of rainfall could only be because of precipitation that happens after the wind has blown losing particles from the surface soil to the atmosphere.
Water is impossible to return to the earth after it has evaporated, not unless it is attached to certain molecules. These molecules have to come from a certain components that lie on the ground. In desert countries like Kuwait, the atmospheric situation plays a critical role on what happens to the climate. When the place is windy, it turns out that there are higher chances of rain because of the increased particles in the atmosphere. This does not happen when the country’s winds are static because they do not supply enough particles to the atmosphere, which could lead to precipitation in the country. Rainfall cannot fall in such a country without precipitation.
The most common soil in Kuwait is sand (Abidal & Suleiman, 2011). It is well known that this kind of soil cannot sustain any form of crop life. Rainfall means that everything can change because despite the changes, people still harvest a certain amount of what they expected. In Kuwait, they usually use manure from their domestic animals to ensure that their farms are competing with their villagers because this is only way of attaining prosperity. Farmers who never irrigate their farms as well as put fertilizer on it always have themselves to blame because they never harvest anything. Irrigation and ensuring that every time one has the best seeds has led to development of agriculture in the country. Agriculturalists have realized that every soil is productive irrespective of where it has comes from.
In Kuwait, loom soil is very scarce even though it is the most productive soil in most of the other countries across the world. This means that the country has to improvise its own means of developing the best kind of soil that all the people would be comfortable when dealing with it. This implies that it is impossible to devise loom despite that Kuwait is technologically advanced than most of other countries across the world. All governments across the world have to realize that every person has the right to cultivate his or her land regardless of where it is.
Most farmers are comfortable when they are dealing with clay because of its ability to hold water for long periods. Clay soil is very important in farming, but it has to be noted that when the rain is too much (above 11 mm/day/two months), most of the crops, which are grown on that area would not produce anything. This occurs because the soil is water clogged and as such, it cannot support the growth of any seedling (Abidal & Suleiman, 2011). Farmers have tried Eucalyptus, which is known for taking lots of water, but it has not changed the waterlogged areas.
Duricrust is the layer that forms on top of the soil after a down pour. The formation is controlled by acidity and the climate of the place where the rain has come from. It has to be noted, for duricrust to form there must be precipitation, transfer, and source. Several minerals exist in duricrust, which are gypsum, calcium, iron, and silica. In Kuwait all, the above-mentioned minerals are there. Duricrust have been first noticed in Mars because they were used to establish that there is life on that planet. Geologists have argued that these layers cannot be different as long as they are from the same planet. The difference between several planets and the formation n of duricrust arises from that all countries have their different acidities. These acidities help in determining the amount of duricrust that would form to the surface of the sol.
To understand the difference between duricrust and other crusts, one must understand the climate of the planet he or she is talking about. Every planet has its own acidity and climate. In terms of climate, it means that, several chemical as well as other physical activities could happen to influence another physical activity. A planet’s acidity determines a country’s duricrust because it is all dependent on the position of the earth in the solar system. This implies that the position of the country at any given time is very important when none is determining the acidity of the soil as regard to the position of the planet that gave the soil.
