Is the coast of Peru dry or moist? Why is this?
201407
The coastal areas are temperate and dry.  The Andes prevents moister air from the inland jungles from reaching the coast.  Ocean currents keep weather systems moving northward so away from the coast.

You can't get rid of "dry and itchy skin permanently." But there are helpful ways to prevent that from happening. I use the Jergens ultra healing lotion and I recommend it. Check it out and see if it helps you and mabey you like it. Also, The doctor says water is what makes your skin dry the most. So, I would try to wash yourself less than you normally do like from a 30 minute shower to a 5-10 minute shower ,or perhaps take a shower every other day unless within reason. Salt water like the ocean heals your skin instanly. If you have dry skin and wet your body with sea water, then it heals it instanly. I'm not sure why but trust me, it does. You may talk to your doctor and ask why it does. If he doesn't say sea water heals you, then let me know and I'll get the answer for you.

Geological movement over the years cut off it's source and outlet, thus isolating the Salton Sea. Water evaporates but the salt doesn't.

Climate- tropical along coast, temperate inland, arid in the south\nThere are two seasons - a hot rainy season from November to April, and a cooler, dry season from May to October. East Coast has most rainfall, notorious for a hot, humid climate. The average yearly temperature is 18.4 degrees Celsius (65 degrees Fahrenheit).

It is a very long river running some 4,000 miles, through Peru and the Brazilian rain forest. The Nile in Africa is longer, but the Amazon is wider, up to 6 miles wide in places.\n\nThe Amazon has by far the greatest total flow of any river, carrying more than the Mississippi, Nile, and Yangtze rivers combined — so while it may not be the longest river, it is undoubtedly the largest. Its drainage area, called the Amazon Basin, is the largest of any river system.\n\nThe quantity of fresh water released to the Atlantic Ocean is enormous: up to 300,000 m³ per second in the rainy season. Indeed, the Amazon is responsible for a fifth of the total volume of fresh water entering the oceans worldwide. \n\nIt is said that offshore of the mouth of the Amazon potable water can be drawn from the ocean while still out of sight of the coastline, and the salinity of the ocean is notably lower a hundred miles out to sea.\n\nThe main river (which is usually between one and six miles wide) is navigable for large ocean steamers to Manaus, 1,500 km (more than 900 miles) upriver from the mouth. Smaller ocean vessels of 3,000 tons[1] and 5.5 m (18 ft) draft[2] can reach as far as Iquitos, 3,600 km (2,250 miles) from the sea. \n\nThe Amazon drains an area of some 6,915,000km² (2,722,000 mile²), or some 40 percent of South America. It gathers its waters from 5 degrees north latitude to 20 degrees south latitude. \n\nIts most remote sources are found on the inter-Andean plateau, just a short distance from the Pacific Ocean; and, after a course of about 6,400 km (4,000 mi) through the interior of Peru and across Brazil, it enters the Atlantic Ocean at the equator.\n\nThe Amazon has changed its drainage several times, from westward in the early Cenozoic Era to its present eastward locomotion following the uplift of the Andes.\n\nTIDAL BORE\n\nFollowing the coast, a little to the north of Cabo do Norte, and for 160 km (100 miles) along its Guiana margin up the Amazon, is a belt of half-submerged islands and shallow sandbanks. Here the tidal phenomenon called the bore, or Pororoca, occurs, where the depths are not over 4 fathoms (7 m). \n\nThe tidal bore starts with a roar, constantly increasing, and advances at the rate of from 15 to 25 km/h (10 to 15 mph), with a breaking wall of water from 1.5 to 4 m (5 to 12 ft) high. The bore is the reason the Amazon does not have a delta; the ocean rapidly carries away the vast volume of silt carried by the Amazon, making it impossible for a delta to grow. It also has a very large tide sometimes reaching 20 feet.

Sand in the ocean deals with water. Sand in the desert would be dealing with wind and heat. Ocean water also contains minerals/salts which may be adhering or tearing away at the sand. The only water desert sand may ever encounter is more than likely the rare rainfall- freshwater, which if anything would help "wash" away any minerals bonding to it. Wet vs. Dry- either way sand gets in places you don't want it... So just keep away from it unless you're gonna superheat the stuff and make glass.. heheh.

Just the water evaporates leaving behind the salt.  Some places along the Mediterranean they have a process that the salt water goes though leaving behind the salt that we use.  They have several locks that the salt water drain from and finally ends up as a pile of salt to be processed.\nOh by the way clouds don't melt.  The water vapors get heavy until they're so heavy the the water drop as rain droplets.No they do not mix into a different form of water.\nNO! NO! NO! to all the rest of your question.\nChuck

Let's say a mass of air travels across Nevada and Utah and arrives in Colorado.  This is what generally happens anyway because of the prevailing westerlies, as you know.\n\nThis mass of air has moisture evaporated in it, basically from water that evaporated from the Pacific Ocean.  (In simplistic terms...) the air may have a temperature of 55 degrees, and a dewpoint of 45 degrees.  i.e., if it were to be cooled to 45 degrees, the relative humidity would become 100%, and it could not hold any more water molecules.\n\nIt is forced to rise as the prevailing westerlies force it up and over the Rockies.\n\nI'll ignore the question about why it is cooler at higher altitudes/elevations, because answering that would make my answer way too long, but suffice to say that the (dry adiabatic) lapse rate is 9.8 degrees celsius per 1km, or roughly 6 degrees per 1000 feet.  A mass of 55 degree air that crosses the western USA at around 4000 feet elevation, then gets pushed up to 12,000 feet of the Continental Divide expands and cools by about 48 degrees.  (8000 feet times 6 degrees per 1000 feet)  Again, I'll warn that this is tremendously simplified.  As it crosses the Divide, it is cooled to about 7 degrees F.\n\nNow, since that air has a dewpoint of 45, what must happen?  Condensation.  The cooling condenses out the moisture in the form of snow (and also rain at lower elevations), and the air is "dried out" to a new dewpoint of that same 7 degrees. \n\nThe air travels on down to Denver and points eastward  (This is also why it is relatively dry on the High Plains, and few trees are seen there, but rather it is an ocean of prairie grasses, which can survive with less rain than trees need.), but the snow remains on top of the mountains!\n\nYou might also try searching "orographic lifting" if you want to learn more.

The point you are talking about is Cape Agulhas.  I have been there and you can see different colors in the water where the oceans meet.  You do not see a perfect horizontal line dividing the oceans, but you do see bands and pockets of color as opposed to the smooth diffusion you might expect.\n\nThe different colors come from different kinds of plankton living in the water.  While it's true that pure water gets its color from refracting light, the ocean is not at all pure.  Plankton living in the water has a major effect on the color of the ocean. The Indian and Atlantic Oceans have different temperatures and different concentrations of salt, so different kinds of plankton live in them. Different kinds of plankton reflect different colors, so when you look at the ocean from the shore you see different colors in the water.\n\nThe bands and pockets of color appear because the oceans don't mix evenly.  The uneven mixture is caused by a current called the Agulhas Retroflection.

That would be a cold (or at least cool), dry mass of air that originated over a large region of land near the north pole.  (Not over an ocean, unless it was the Arctic Ocean, which is covered by ice.)

Due to Spain's own geographical situation which allows only its northern part to be in the way of the Jet Stream's typical path and due to its own orographic conditions, the weather is very diverse.\nThe northern, southern and eastern Mediterranean coast areas have a Mediterranean climate - warm/hot in summer and mild/cool winters. The southeast Mediterranean coast is arid. Thje Atlantic coast has a mild climate and the inner plateau region is dry and has hot summers and cold winters.\n\nCustoms - they have fiestas in the towns on the town's patron saint's day. The entire village turns out for weddings. At many weddings the men are offered a cigar and the women are given a little present, usually something sweet-smelling. Most social events start late. \n\nSome popular foods include tapas, jamon serrano (country ham), tortilla, flan, paella, and gazpacho.\n\nIn general the Spanish have a very modern outlook on clothing. They are keen on designer clothes but quality is more mportant than a designer name. Spanish made clothes tend to be high quality and reasonably priced.\n\nThe Spanish currency is the Euro.

You could have dry skin.  Maybe you are using a product that doesn't agree with you.

It's colder outside, more wind and less humidity,less consumption of water and other liquids and of course the air inside is a lot drier and less humid because of heat. That's enough reasons for mine to be dry. Need a good moisturizing lip gloss. Chap stick doesn't really do it. Try a different brand.

Common Salt (Sodium Chloride) is what's known as a drying agent. This means that it will absorb water and many other liquids. Because smails ( and slugs) are composed mainly of water, a small amount of salt can completely dry them out.\n\nHowever, humans are mainly composed of water as well, so how come we don't dry ou with salt as well? The difference is that snails are covered a selectively permeable membrane, which lets through small molecules (like water), whereas we have a very thick skin which doesn't let through nearly the same amount of water as it does with snails and slugs.
