Question

2. How are the climates of Hawaii and California similar? It is warm and sunny in most of both states. Temperatures rarely rise above the freezing level. Areas of both states have freezing temperatures and snow in the winter. Both states are drier than the Great Basin region of the West.
3. Which mountain range stretches more than 3,000 miles, including parts of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado?
Coastal Ranges
the Rocky Mountains
the Sierra Nevada
the Cascade Range

4. Highways and railroads can tear apart during an earthquake as a result of this process.
Massive blocks of earth crash into each other and release energy.
Gas, ash, and lava are forced out of an opening in the earth.
Huge blocks of earth shift along fault lines.
A giant wall of water crashes along the shore and releases energy.

5. Which location receives the least average precipitation in one year?
Yakima, Washington
Olympic Peninsula, Washington
Death Valley, California
Mount Waialeale, Hawaii

6. Why does the eastern side of the Cascade Range receive less precipitation than the western side?
The clouds passing to the eastern side of the Cascade Range have too much moisture in them.
The eastern side of the Cascade Range lies in the rain shadow and receives less precipitation than the western side.
The western side of the Cascade Range lies in the rain shadow and there is enough moisture for a rain forest.
The temperature is cold on the eastern side of the Cascade Range and trees do not grow there.

7. How does the desert jackrabbit stay cool in the heat of the desert?
The desert jackrabbit has long ears that move heat away from its body.
The desert jackrabbit has sharp fangs that help it kill prey quickly.
The desert jackrabbit stays cool in the desert with a thick layer of blubber.
The desert jackrabbit has scales on its feet that help it run quickly on hot sand.

Answer 1

1. It is warm and sunny in both states

2. not to sure sorry

3 i believ its a convergent boundery?

Answer 2

Answer:

2- The climates of Hawaii and California are similar as it is warm and sunny in most of both states.

3- The mountain range that stretches more than 3,000 miles, including parts of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado, is the Rocky Mountains.

4- Highways and railroads can tear apart during an earthquake as a result of massive blocks of earth crashing into each other and releasing energy.

5- The location that receives the least average precipitation in one year is Death Valley, California.

6- The eastern side of the Cascade Range receives less precipitation than the western side because the western side lies in the rain shadow and there is enough moisture for a rain forest.

7- The desert jackrabbit has long ears that move heat away from its body.

Explanation:

2- The climates that can be found in the Hawaiian Islands mostly include tropical humid zones and temperate zones. Therefore, there aren't many cold zones in Hawaii, but only at the top of the mountains. The average temperature range of the state goes from 65ºF to 85ºF.

California, however, due to its large size has climatic differences between the south and north of the state, although the vast majority of the territory has a Mediterranean climate, hot and dry.

3- The Rocky Mountains is a mountain range located in the western sector of North America, that runs parallel to the western coast, from British Columbia in the northwest, passing through the border between Alberta and British Columbia and reaching the southwestern United States, in New Mexico. The highest peak is Mount Elbert in Colorado, at 4401 meters above sea level.

4- During earthquakes, the routes are split by the action of earth movement, which generates energy by friction. This energy is stronger than the pressure of the earth's surface, so it ends up breaking it.

5- Death Valley has a desert climate (less than 150 mm of rain per year).

6- The barrier that is formed by the mountains blocks the precipitations that arrive from the west. The clouds pour all the rain on the peaks and the air becomes very dry as it passes to the other side, in an easterly direction.

7- The Desert Jackrabbit has a thermal regulation system based on its ears. The same, of great size, allow the animal to radiate the heat, expelling it from its body.
