Geography of New Mexico. With a total area of 121,590 square miles (314,900 km 2 ), [ 1] New Mexico is the fifth-largest state, after Alaska, Texas, California, and Montana. Its eastern border lies along 103°W longitude with the state of Oklahoma, and 2.2 miles (3.5 kilometres) west of 103°W longitude with Texas (due to a 19th-century ...
New Mexico is entirely landbound, with just 0.2% of the state covered with water, [ 1] and most of the state has an arid to semiarid climate. [ 2] Much of the state is mountainous, except for the easternmost Great Plains region. [ 3] The state thus has extensive bedrock exposures, which are assigned to four physiographic provinces. [ 4]
DOE: Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, or WIPP, in New Mexico, US, is the world's third deep geological repository (after Germany's Repository for radioactive waste Morsleben and the Schacht Asse II salt mine) licensed to store transuranic radioactive waste for 10,000 years. The storage rooms at the WIPP are 2,150 ...
The physical properties of soil, in order of decreasing importance for ecosystem services such as crop production, are texture, structure, bulk density, porosity, consistency, temperature, colour and resistivity. [ 1] Soil texture is determined by the relative proportion of the three kinds of soil mineral particles, called soil separates: sand ...
The tropical wet forests of North America have an average year-round temperature between 68 and 78.8 °F (26.0 °C). Thus, frost does not occur under these conditions. The temperatures remain fairly uniform throughout the year; therefore there is not a change of seasons. There is also no dry season, as all months experience precipitation.
Temperatures have been rising over the decades. Years back Santa Fe temperatures rarely hit 90 degrees. In August now, expect temps in the 80`s and 90`s. It is a "dry heat" and will tend to feel warmer than the actual temperature due to our elevation. Drink Plenty of water!! I am not kidding. In August there are still chances of monsoonal rains.
The USDA map was revised and reissued in 1990 with freshly available climate data, this time with five-degree distinctions dividing each zone into new "a" and "b" subdivisions. In 2003, the American Horticultural Society (AHS) produced a draft revised map, using temperature data collected from July 1986 to March 2002. The 2003 map placed many ...
Actually 95 is not an average high temp for Santa Fe, occasionally but not all the time. I'd plan on 85 or so as an average high in July. July is our "monsoon" season, quick thunderstorms in the late afternoon cool everything down, then clear out and nice evenings. Early mornings 6am or so can almost feel chilly, usually low of 60.
