Average humidity on Antarctica is about five percent. Annual precipitation is minimal -- single digit inches -- and most precipitation evaporates or freezes before hitting the ground.
The western Cordillera region of North America receives varying amounts of precipitation depending on the specific location within the region. Coastal areas generally receive higher amounts of precipitation due to proximity to the ocean, while interior regions and rain shadows receive less. Overall, precipitation levels can range from moderate to high in the western Cordillera.
Greenland receives an average of about 600 mm (24 inches) of precipitation per year, which falls primarily as snow due to its cold climate. The coastal regions tend to receive more precipitation than the interior.
Zero. It's too cold and dry in the Antarctic interior to snow.
5 cm per month
Deserts are defined as regions that receive less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year on average. Some deserts receive virtually no precipitation, however.
not a lot. its all snow :D
maybe about 40 inches per year
It receives 37.1 inches per year.
A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rain on average per year. Some deserts receive virtually no precipitation.
Both receive less than 10 inches (250 mm) of annual precipitation on average. The cold desert may receive much of its annual precipitation in the form of snowfall.
The high interior of Antarctica gets very little snowfall (50 mm or 2 inches a year). The average snowfall over the whole continent is around 166 mm (6.5 inches) per year, and parts of the Antarctic Peninsula receive more than 600 mm (2 feet).
Moist warm air comes out of the maritime islands and collides with the colder are on the continent. When the air masses meet, precipitation follows.
