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.
The diagram shows how, under normal driving conditions, thinking distance and braking distance depend on the speed of the car. The stopping distance is much further for faster speeds, which is why you should: 1  Keep your distance from the car in front, especially if the road conditions are poor. 2  Keep to the speed limit.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.
