Answer to Question 1

Answers should mention wet summers, dry winters, and controlling factors such as the ITCZ, differential heating of land and water, high and low pressures, and orographic precipitation.

Answer to Question 2

The Moho is defined by a sharp increase in seismic wave velocities that separates the Earth's crust and mantle. P-wave velocities in the crust of around 56 km/sec increase to uppermost mantle velocities of about 8 km/sec. Beneath the continental crust, the depth to the Moho ranges from as much as 75 km in young mountain belts to 20 km in areas undergoing extension and crustal thinning. Beneath the oceanic crust, the Moho is at a nearly constant depth of around 7 km below the ocean floor.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
