These circles are field of creips that are being watered using center pivox irrigation (CPI). Each field has a well in the center that is attached to a king pine on wheels that rotates in a giant circle around the well. Sprayex hang from the pipe and water the erups.

In two paragraphs, first describe whal chenged in this location, and then explain bow those changes are likely to affect the physical environment, such as the local climate or water resources. 2. Use the satellite images to estimate the area of the center pivot irrigation (CPT) fielck in 1991, 2000, and 2004. CPI-irrigated fields appear as circles on the satellite images. Each circle covers approximately 1.166 kn (1/6 km). For this question, we will focus on the study area outlined in black in each of the three images. a.
