Pennsylvania

During the 2011-2012 winter season, Pennsylvania received above-average snowfall, with some areas experiencing anywhere from 30 to 60 inches of snow accumulation throughout the season. Snowfall amounts can vary widely across the state due to regional weather patterns and topography.

The last time it snowed in Pennsylvania in October before yesterday was on October 29, 2011.

It is not possible to send snow from Pennsylvania to Hawaii due to the logistical challenges and costs involved in transporting a large amount of snow over such a vast distance. Additionally, Hawaii's climate is warm and tropical, making it unlikely for snow to remain intact during transit.

Yes, Pennsylvania can experience earthquakes, although they are less frequent and typically less intense compared to other regions like California. The state sits within the seismically active Appalachian Mountains, and while the risk is lower, residents should still be prepared for potential seismic activity.

Yes, Pittsburgh experiences temperature inversions, especially during the winter season. This occurs when a layer of warm air traps cooler air near the surface, leading to poor air quality and potentially hazardous conditions. Temperature inversions are more common in cities with geographic features that trap air pollutants, such as valleys or mountains.

Harrisburg is an important city because it is the capital!

Consider this analogy. Let's say five friends are playing in a wooded section of land. They each want a 'piece' of it. In these woods, at the far edge are pine trees (physical boundary); along the left is a tiny creek (physical); along the front edge are two fallen logs (physical); and along the right it meets a city building where the kids cannot play (physical and political). So the area inside those boundaries must be divided for 5 friends. One friend uses the toe of his shoe to draw a line in the dirt around his "state" (imaginary line, political). The friends must share boundaries in the space--they agree on imaginary lines between their 'states' (imaginary, political). The friends sit down and make a 'map' of their play area, showing each 'state' they 'own'. One calls hers Kingdom of Ellen; another says his is Empire of John; the other three make up kingdom names after their favorite cartoon characters. Each friend makes up their own 'laws' for their 'states'/areas. If one friend crosses the boundary into another State, the rules of the games the kids play must change to comply with the other area's rules. So in the Kingdom of Ellen, everyone must wear a hat or pay a fine. In John's empire, every visitor must pay a tax to use the 'roads' (similar to a toll road). But the 5 friends agree that some rules must apply to everyone-- for example, no one can run fast on anyone's land because it is too slippery. They agree that the one source of water, the creek, must be shared by all. They decide to "trade" resources--if one area has more sticks, they will share in trade for stones in someone else's area (trade / commerce agreements between 'states' or 'countries').

It is similar with States--or Countries. Some boundaries are physical -- mostly determined by water (rivers, oceans). The other boundaries -- imaginary -- must be agreed upon between "leaders". So back in Colonial Days, people tried to agree on borders. They could argue about or fight about borders. Luckily, most borders were quickly set and memorialized in maps.

Pennsylvania had fertile soil and a river that made it a good location for William Penn to start his colony. Pennsylvania's oil reserves made it one of the first places in the world used for oil drilling. Also, Pennsylvania has many coal mines.

The center of the intersection of W Hallam Ave and Jefferson Ave is located at

40.1741° north latitude
80.2544° west longitude.

Other spots around town have somewhat different coordinates.

Pennsylvania is bordered on all sides by state boundaries, which are all imaginary political boundaries between states. One boundary is purely political, the Mason Dixon line, with Maryland. One physical is the Delaware River, with New Jersey. Another physical boundary on the northwest corner is Lake Erie, both a physical and 'imaginary' political boundary between the US and Canada. How you can tell is to look for physical indicators---oceans, other water (large lakes, large rivers, places with many ports), or mountains that cut through an area or territory. These do not always mean a border--for example, the Applachian Mountains were not used as a state border in Pennsylvania--but often these physical indicators do make a border.

Pennsylvania covers an area of approximately 119,280 square kilometers.

Yes, of course, there are tornadoes in Pennsylvania. The most-recent severe outbreak occurred in 1985 when a system of tornadoes developed near Albion in northwest Pennsylvania and tracked across the state. Forty-seven confirmed tornadoes were associated with this outbreak, and there were numerous injuries and deaths before the system weakened in north-central and southeastern PA.

The Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania is located in Tioga County. It is also known as the Pine Creek Gorge and offers beautiful views and outdoor recreational opportunities.

Pennsylvania has seven land regions. They are the Allegheny Mountains, Piedmont Plains, Coastal Plains, Pennsylvania Dutch Region, The Allegheny Plateau, Lake Erie triangle, and the Appalachian Mountains.

There is no information available to suggest that a state of emergency was declared in Bucks County, PA on February 10, 2010.

No. Pennsylvania is not in a geologically active area.

No, California and Pennsylvania are not in the same time zone. California is in the Pacific Time Zone, while Pennsylvania is in the Eastern Time Zone. This means that Pennsylvania is usually 3 hours ahead of California.

It is 2.5 miles southwest of Bellfonte, 65 miles NW of Harrisburg.

Fault lines are really located everywhere, but it's usually the major fault lines that you need to worry about. The recent Virginia earthquake, which occurred on Aug. 23, 2011, was not related to any major geological fault line. However, geologists are concerned with the New York-Alabama Lineament, which is a major magnetic fault line that runs from New York to Alabama.

See the Related Link below for more information on fault lines in the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains.

In 1682, Pennsylvania's geography consisted of rolling hills, fertile plains, and dense forests, with the Appalachian Mountains running through the western part of the state. The region was also characterized by its numerous rivers and waterways, including the Delaware River which played a significant role in transportation and trade during that time. The land was inhabited by various Native American tribes and early European settlers who were attracted to the area's natural resources and agricultural potential.

Pennsylvania is located in the Eastern Time Zone (ET).

At that time, the ecosystem in southeast Pennsylvania where Coelophysis roamed was likely a warm, tropical environment with lush vegetation. The area would have been closer to the equator compared to its current location and featured rivers, lakes, and wetlands. Coelophysis would have encountered diverse plant and animal species, including early reptiles, amphibians, and insects.

The colonists in Pennsylvania survived the first winter by relying on assistance from the local Native American tribes, such as the Lenape. They learned survival skills from the tribes, who also provided them with food and supplies. Additionally, the colonists practiced farming and hunting to sustain themselves during the harsh winter months.

What do you want to know about it? It was founded by William Penn, a Quaker, hence the nickname The Quaker State. It officially calls it's self a commonwealth not a state. It's the 6th most populated state in the U.S. It was the second state admitted to the

Union. The capital is Harrisburg. The most populated city is Philadelphia. It's bordered by the states of New York, Ohio, Maryland, Delaware, West Virgina, and New Jersey. These are just some general facts I know. I actually am from Pennsylvanian. Try being more specific next time.

If you're on the eastern coast of Australia, perhaps Brisbane, the time difference is 15 hours. I start with the Australian time, subtract 3 hours, and then change AM/PM. So if it's 5PM Tuesday in Brisbane, it's 5-3=2AM Tuesday morning in PA.

If it's 7AM Wednesday in Brisbane, it's 4PM Tuesday in PA.
