It is shaped by a Mediterranean climate (mild, wet winters and hot dry summers) and wildfire, featuring summer-drought-tolerant plants with hard sclerophyllous evergreen leaves, as contrasted with the associated soft-leaved, drought-deciduous, scrub community of coastal sage scrub, found below the chaparral biome.n its natural state, chaparral is characterized by infrequent fires, with intervals ranging between 10â15 years to over a hundred years.
Echo is caused by reflection of the sound from a broad and hard obstacle. The echo can be heard if the following condition is met. To hear a distinct echo, the time interval between original sound and the reflection must be at least 0.1s.
Tsunamis can also occur because of landslides. When land subsides into water bodies (usually extremely large landslides), they can create a wave that resembles a tsunami. The wave of these kinds of tsunamis will not be very high, unless a huge volume of rock or ice is involved. Tsunamis can also occur when asteroids fall into the water bodies.
