Question
32. Where can you find coastal regions that receive over 80" of precipitation in the Pacific? (2 pts.) 33. Examine the coastlines of the 48 contiguous states (those bordering each other; not Alaska and Hawaii.). Where is the driest coastal area located? 34. What type of climate is found there? 35. Examine the annual precipitation for eastern China. Explain how ocean currents are be related to this pattern of precipitation? (2 pts.) 36. Precipitation in Australia is highest alongside what type of a current? 37. Which way does the West Wind Drift flow around Antarctica? clockwi or counterclockwise (Imagine you are above Antarctica looking down on its surface.)Explanation / Answer
32. The coastal region that receives over 80 inches of Precipitation in the Pacific is THE REDWOOD CREEK. The Precipitation in this particular basin is highly seasonal with ranges about 90 percentage between October and April. The annual average for the redwood Creek is almost 80 inches with December being the wettest month.
33. If we examine the entire coastline of 48 contiguous states the driest coastal area is Southeast California which extends from death valley, south to the Mexican border. Across the coastline, LONG BEACH averages daily high temperature of 29 i.e above 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
34. Generally the climate of California varies widely. California's coastal regions usually have a MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE with warm to hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The reason behind this dry coastal region climate is due to the influence of the ocean which generally moderate temperature extremes thus by creating warmer winters.
35. China has different great variety of climates because China is very huge country by dimensions. Compared to other areas Eastern China experience milder temperatures. The driest weather is in December with an average of 1.6 inches of Precipitation during summer. The wettest weather is in September with an average Precipitation of 6.3 inches. Ocean currents are related to this pattern of Precipitation because generally Eastern and southeastern regions do experience subtropical climate and due to ocean currents they experience very little shift between seasons.
36. Precipitation in Australia is highest during summer months and the wettest region in entire Australia is Queensland during May to September. And the Precipitation in Australia is highest alongside the EAST AUSTRALIAN CURRENT which flows south along the east coast of Australia. Off the western coast of Australia, there is a cold water current, thus rainfall rates in western Australia are low.
37. The west wind drift flow around Antarctica in CLOCKWISE way. Antarctic circumpolar current(ACC) is the alternate name for west wind drift, which is an ocean current which flows clockwise from west to east around Antarctica.
