Climate and Biomes. Climate. We have observed that plants require light, water, carbon dioxide, soil minerals and some reasonable temperature to survive. We have considered most of these factors and it is time to consider temperature, itself tied into all of these other factors in some way. This one environmental factor strongly determines the distribution of plants on the planet. Latitude. The Equator.
Stopping sight distance is the sum of two distances: (1) the distance traversed by the vehicle from the instant the driver sights an object necessitating a stop to the instant the brakes are applied; and (2) the distance needed to stop the vehicle from the instant brake application begins.
Thinking, braking and stopping distance. To be a safe driver you need to understand the factors that affect a car's stopping distance. The stopping distance depends on two factors: 1  Thinking distance-It takes time for a driver to react to a situation.2  Braking distance-The braking distance is the distance taken to stop once the brakes are applied.he stopping distance depends on two factors: 1  Thinking distance-It takes time for a driver to react to a situation. 2  During this reaction time the car carries on moving.
