Unlike their equatorward neighbours, marine west coast climates are located beyond the farthest poleward extent of the subtropical anticyclone, and they experience the midlatitude westerlies and traveling frontal cyclones all year. Precipitation totals vary somewhat throughout the year in response to the changing location and intensity of these storm systems, but annual accumulations generally range from 50 to 250 cm (20 to 98 inches), with local totals exceeding 500 cm (197 inches) where onshore winds encounter mountain ranges. Not only is precipitation plentiful but it is also reliable and frequent. Many areas have rainfall more than 150 days per year, although the precipitation is often of low intensity. Fog is common in autumn and winter, but thunderstorms are infrequent. Strong gales with high winds may be encountered in winter.
Annual temperature ranges are rather small (10–15 °C or [50–59 °F]), about half those encountered farther to the east in the continental interior at the same latitude. Mean annual temperatures are usually 7–13 °C (45–55 °F) in lowland areas, the winters are mild, and the summers are relatively moderate, rarely having monthly temperatures above 20 °C (68 °F). In North America and South America, Australia, and New Zealand, north–south mountain ranges backing the west coasts of the landmasses at these latitudes confine the marine west coast climate to relatively narrow coastal strips (but enhance precipitation). By contrast, in Europe the major mountain chains (the Alps and Pyrenees) run east–west, permitting Cfb and Cfc climates to extend inland some 2,000 km (about 1,250 miles) into eastern Germany and Poland.
We were far away from Germany, Italy and Japan. Water seperated the U.S. from the attacking countries so it was harder for them to attack the U.S.
The benefits of irrigation are: Prevents Disease and Weeds, Conserves Water and Time, Preserves Soil Structure and Nutrients and it provides Gardening Flexibility.
Hoped I helped :)
Answers with Explanation:
1. What does interdependence mean?
"Interdependence" means two persons or objects rely on each other for support.
2. How can you say this in the age of interdependence?
<em>I believe you are referring to "The Age of Digital Interdependence" here.</em>
When it comes to the digital age, it is very common for modern people to rely on technology such as computers for many reasons. The Internet provides people with so many information that many problems are immediately solved in an accelerating manner. At the same time, using the Internet allows it to improve. Technology needs people to use them, so they can also evolve over time. This situation is a clear example of interdependence.

A permeable rock breaks down quicker than a rock that is not so permeable because there is less space for anything (i.e. water) to get in the not so permeable rock in order to widen the holes and ultimately break the rock. On the other hand, a permeable rock is full of holes and will break down because of the many holes available to widen.
