Where are Alaska's volcanoes?

Does it hail in Alaska?

The short answer would be yes.

Thunderstorms and Hurricanes can both produce hail in Florida. Yes, it does hail in Florida. Anywhere that has thunderstorms or severe storms with high winds reaching up 40 to 50 miles per hour, at least. They usually have thunder and lightening along with rain. When a storm has all the right factors, it can take rain and repeatedly drive it up into the upper levels of the storm, freezeing the rain over and over. Thus, creating the hail, when the winds can no longer hold the hail aloft they drop, thawing and freezing on the way down. Depending on the amount of rain, the size of the drops, and how many trips it made to the upper levels, that determines the size of the hail. It is also a good indicator of the intensity of the storm. This is just a bare bones outline of how hail is made, there is much more involved in it's making than just this.

How long are the seasons in alaska?

Contrary to myth, Alaska really does have seasons: in fact, summer can be very beautiful and warm; temperatures can reach into the low 80s, and there is sunlight for nearly the entire day and night. (That is why Alaska is sometimes called the land of the midnight sun.) But compared to some states in the "lower 48," summer doesn't last very long-- it is generally about four to five weeks. Soon, after a brief autumn, it is winter. Alaska generally has very cold, long, and snowy winters, with temperatures remaining below zero for weeks at a time. (Note that the farther north you go, the more severe the winter; southern Alaska, in cities like Anchorage, has winters that are similar to Minneapolis or Chicago.) Also, in winter, Alaska only gets about one hour of sunlight, and sometimes there isn't any at all.

What is the climate of baker island Alaska?

What rogue wave in Alaska overran an island?

The rogue wave that overran an island in Alaska is known as the "Lituya Bay megatsunami." It occurred in 1958 when an earthquake triggered a landslide into the bay, creating a wave that reached a height of 1,720 feet (524 meters) and completely wiped out vegetation on the island.

How many days of darkness does Alaska have and why?

Anyplace on earth that's farther north than the Arctic Circle, or farther south than the

Antarctic Circle, has at least one day a year when the sun doesn't rise, and at least

one day a year when the sun doesn't set. The closer you get to the poles, the longer

these annual periods of no sunrise and no sunset get.

Most of Alaska is south of the Arctic Circle, and has a sunrise and sunset every day of

the year. The Arctic Circle crosses Alaska on the line roughly through Shishmaref, Allakaket,

and Fort Yukon. North of that line is where you can have 24 hours without a sunrise

or 24 hours without a sunset.

The Juneau Icefield is 150 miles long north-to-south and feeds as many as 140 glaciers, 38 of which are considered large. The largest of these is the Taku Glacier with an estimated ice thickness of 4,500 feet. The glacier most easily accessible by the road system is the rapidly retreating Mendenhall Glacier, also one of the top tourist destinations in Alaska. The Eagle Glacier and Herbert Glacier are also located near the road system, though they require hikes through sometimes rugged terrain.
