How many kilometers north of the equator is Washington?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a fantastic question ! It presents learning possibilities, for all of us,

in a variety of subjects, above and beyond anything you ever imagined.

I guarantee it.

-- First, for you, a Social Studies lesson:

George Washington, the "father of our country" and the first president of the USA,

became so popular and so well-known in his lifetime that many different places used

his name. So, when you talk about Farendunk, Catspaw, or Tweedledee, you can

probably get away without mentioning the state it's in. But when you mention

Washington, it's always a good idea to clarify which one you're talking about.

-- Next, also for you, a Geography lesson:

Cities, towns, and states spread over a good deal of land. It's not possible for

a whole state, city, or town to be the same distance from anything.

-- Now, what I have learned:

What you're capable of if you get in too deep before you decide to turn back.

-- Finally, here is the answer to your question. It's definitely somewhere on this list:

When and why does phosphorescence occur in Puget Sound?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Phosphorescence occurs in places all over the world and it happens when small micro organisms " glow" in the water. These plankton like creatures come from the bottom of the ocean where it's dark so they only come out at night. I have seen phosphorescence in the puget sound before and it occurs around the middle of august in the summer but in the sound it only happens in summer. Most of the times I have noticed it's a clear night with no rain.

If Mount Rainier in Washington were to erupt explosively covered with snow and glaciers what would you expect?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An explosive eruption of Mount Rainier covered with snow and glaciers could trigger lahars (mudflows) caused by rapid melting of ice and snow. These lahars would flow downhill, potentially reaching populated areas surrounding the mountain and causing significant damage. The combination of ash, mudflows, and debris could lead to widespread destruction and loss of life.
