How does the amount of precipitation in the eastern half of the US compare to that of the western half?
There is more precipitation in the eastern half of the U.S. than the western half of the country. This is due to the Rockie Mountain chain that determines where the precipitation will fall. Moisture is also picked up in the Gulf of Mexico which results in more rain being deposited on the eastern half of the country.
