Formation of new :iic storms along the east coast is responsi-:.r a large portion of Maryland's rainfall, varm-season convection assists in causing to be the rather ill-defined rainy season this season, iphic influence of the mountains brings itest rainfalls to the extreme western of the state.
Oolitic limestones consist of small spheroidal grains; limestones of this type are frequently formed as chemical precipitates. In regions where there is a rainy season this season followed by a long dry season, calcium carbonate deposits may be found at or near the surface as caliche or calcrete. Dolomites may be formed by i of part of the calcium of limestones by mag: solved in sea water.
If germination took place immediately, the young seedlings would not be able to withstand the rigorous winter weather and would all be killed. Again, in the case of certain desert annuals, dormancy at maturity prevents germination at the close of a rainy season this growing season and the beginning of a dry season which the young seedlings could not survive. Some seeds possess impermeable seed coats which prevent their germination for years or even for centuries.
