Why do things that have a bigger surface area volume ratio dry faster than things with a smaller surface area volume ratio?
Because evaporation happens at the surface.
How much more surface area does Earth have then Mars?
Mars only has about 28% the surface area of the Earth. What's interesting is that number matches the land area of Earth, so the total surface of Mars is roughly the same as the dry land surface of Earth.
Why do plants in dry areas have leaves with reduced surface area?
many plants developed a wazy surface cuticle to reduce water loss
What name is given to the area of the earth that forms land?
Terra firma is the name given to the Earth's dry surface.
What percent of the earths surface is covered by rainforests?
Rainforests cover less than 2 percent of Earth's total surface area and are home to 50 percent of Earth's plants and animals (The Nature Conservancy). Rainforests are found all over the world — in West and Central Africa, South and Central America, Indonesia, Southeast Asia and Australia — on every continent except Antarctica. Temperate rainforests consist of coniferous or broadleaf trees and are found in the temperate zones. They are identified as rainforests by the large amount of rain they receive. Mangrove rainforests are, like their name, made of mangrove trees. These trees grow only in brackish waters where rivers meet the ocean. Monsoon rainforests are also called "dry rainforests" because they have a dry season. These get around 31 to 71 inches (800 mm to 1,800 mm) of rain. Up to 75 percent of the trees in dry rainforests can be deciduous.
What percentage of area of AFRICA is in dry surface?
57%

What percent of water is on mars?
The percent of water that is found on Mars is only 2 percent. The surface of Mars is mainly dry which is marked by old volcanoes.

How much dry land does Mars have?
All of the surface of Mars can be classified as dry land, even the frozen polar caps, because there is no liquid water on the surface of Mars. The total area of land on Mars is nearly the same as the "land" area of Earth, about 144,798,750 km2.
Why plates will dry faster when placed on rack?
There is greater exposed surface area
Why does a contaminated surface need to be dry after cleaning it?
A contaminated surface needs to be dried after cleaning it because sometimes bacteria can grow and continue to thrive if a surface remains wet. Keeping the area dry after decontamination can greatly decrease the chances of it becoming contaminated again.
Does Mars have dry ground?
Mars has roughly 30% the surface area of earth. All of that is dry ground. We have only found(very little) ice on mars.
What name is given to the area of the earth that forms land?
Terra firma is the name given to the Earth's dry surface.
