The answer to your question is Thunderstorms are a frequent part of Florida life. They occur in all seasons of the year in Florida, but they are more numerous during the warm season when the wind off the sea flows inland during the afternoon. On an annual basis, communities in Florida usually experience thunderstorms 75 to 105 days per year. In fact, Florida leads the United States annually in the number of thunderstorm days. Out of 100,000 thunderstorms that occur within the United States each year, approximately 1 out of every 10 storms can become severe, causing damage or posing a threat to life. The average thunderstorm contains approximately 275 million gallons of water, which is enough water to fill 416 Olympic-sized swimming pools! HOPED I HELPED!

Because Florida is wet and humid, while California is dry and non-humid. Florida also contains lots of lakes which evaporate to create thunderstorms.

Answer:

$E_r(6)=4.35614\ MPa$

Explanation:

$\epsilon$ = Strain = 0.49

$\sigma _0$ = 3.1 MPa

At t = Time = 32 s $\sigma$ = 0.41 MPa

$\tau$ = Time-independent constant

Stress relation with time

$\sigma=\sigma _0exp\left(-\frac{t}{\tau}\right)$

at t = 32 s

$0.41=3.1exp\left(-\frac{32}{\tau}\right)\\\Rightarrow exp\left(-\frac{32}{\tau}\right)=\frac{0.41}{3}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{32}{\tau}=ln\frac{0.41}{3}\\\Rightarrow \tau=-\frac{32}{ln\frac{0.41}{3}}\\\Rightarrow \tau=16.0787\ s$
