Answer to Question 1

Answer: In some years, the majority of Pacific storms do not approach the West Coast from the northwest but instead travel eastward from the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands along a plume of moist, humid air. This storm track is referred to locally as the Pineapple Express. When storms take this path repeatedly, the greatest amounts of precipitation are concentrated farther to the south than during more normal years. Instead of a general pattern of increasing precipitation with latitude, the southern part of the coast might receive greater amounts than the northern coast.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
