Why is there usually more rain on the hills near the coast of large land areas than there is in their centres?

because of this thing called relif rainfall...the moist air/clouds get pushed up hills were it is colder the cloud then condenses and it rains...at the end of the hills /mountain range there is something called a rain shadow which is where it rains less... that is because the clouds have already condensed on the mountain .... hope that makes sense !! ;)


Why is there usually more rain on he hills near the coasts of large land areas than there is in their centres?

Hills near coastlines often experience more rain because warm, moist air from the ocean is forced to rise and cool as it hits the hills, causing precipitation. In contrast, air in the centers of large land areas tends to be dryer and doesn't have the same moisture source from the ocean, resulting in less rainfall.


Where would damage be more near the epicenter or away from epicenter?

Damage is typically more severe near the epicenter of an earthquake, where the intensity of the shaking is strongest. The farther away from the epicenter, the shaking usually decreases in intensity, resulting in less damage.


Where are thermal inversions more likely to occur: in valleys or on hills?

Thermal inversions are more likely to occur in valleys rather than on hills. This is because valleys trap cold air near the ground, preventing it from rising and mixing with warmer air above, leading to the formation of a thermal inversion.


How does the climate of the states near the West Coast compare to those of the East Coast?

The West Coast states generally have a milder and more temperate climate compared to the East Coast states. West Coast states experience cooler summers and milder winters due to the influence of the Pacific Ocean, while the East Coast states have more variable weather patterns with hotter summers and colder winters. Additionally, the West Coast states tend to have more consistent precipitation throughout the year compared to the East Coast states which often experience distinct seasonal changes in rainfall.
