Hawai'i Physical Geography: Precipitation Patterns and Treelines You are given four different geographic locations on the Big Island that display a different aspect of precipitation variations. Please match the cause of the precipitation pattern that you see in the geovisualization to the location: 19.7958 -155.2602- The easterly trade winds… 20.1739 -155.8665- Rainshawdows on west facing side…. 19.5271 -155.6032- The trade wind inversion… 19.3435 -155.8343- Wrap around air…
QUESTION: Part 1: What is your mean and range for the trade wind inversion treeline on the eastern slopes of Mauna Loa – in terms of its elevation and mean annual precipitation (MAP). Round off to the nearest 100. Part 2: 500 m above the treeline locations, how much has the average precipitation declined from the treeline? Round off to the nearest 100. These are the coordinate pairs for the 5 sites: 19.5399 -155.3300 19.5712 -155.3277 19.6307 -155.3543 19.6171 -155.3206 19.5939 -155.3325 The treeline closest to the indicated coordinates averages 1900 m (range 1800-2000 m) with a mean
