What is geographically different about the parts of Utah that get more precipitation that other parts?

DiKsa [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Precipitation varies greatly, from an average of less than five inches annually over the Great Salt Lake Desert (west of Great Salt Lake), to more than 40 inches in some parts of the Wasatch Mountains.  The average annual precipitation in the leading agricultural areas is between 10 to 15 inches, necessitating irrigation for the economic production of most crops.  However, the mountains, where winter snows form the chief reservoirs of moisture, are conveniently adjacent to practically all farming areas, and there is usually sufficient water for most land under irrigation.  The areas of the State below an elevation of 4,000 feet, all in the southern part, generally receive less than 10 inches of moisture annually.

 

Northwestern Utah, over and along the mountains, receives appreciably more precipitation in a year than is received at similar elevations over the rest of the State, primarily due to terrain and the direction of normal storm tracks.  The bulk of the moisture falling over that area can be attributed to the movement of Pacific storms through the region during the winter and spring months.  In summer northwestern Utah is comparatively dry.  The eastern portion receives appreciable rain from summer thunderstorms, which are usually associated with moisture-laden air masses from the Gulf of Mexico.

 

Snowfall is moderately heavy in the mountains, especially over the northern part.  This is conducive to a large amount of winter sports activity, including skiing and hunting. While the principal population centers along the base of the mountains receive more snow, as a rule, than many middle and northeastern sections of the United States, a deep snow cover seldom remains long on the ground.

 

Runoff from melting mountain snow usually reaches a peak in April, May or early June, and sometimes causes flooding along the lower streams.  However, damaging floods of this kind are infrequent.  Flash floods from summer thunderstorms are more frequent, but they affect only small, local areas.

Alborosie

Answer:

Self-awareness

Explanation:

Self-awareness generally develops sometime between 15 and 24 months of age. The 12-month-old infant does not understand that the red dot is on his own forehead. He behaves as though it is some other person who is standing across from him. In contrast, the 18-month-old is quite certain that it is herself in the mirror as she reacts to her image by touching her own forehead.
