Please explain why low clouds occur off of California’s coast during summer. In your explanation, please include the terms “Hadley Circulation,” “atmospheric subsidence,” and “ocean upwelling''
In Sequoia National Park, why does soil moisture increase in April even though precipitation totals are on average lower in April than in March?
The continents are net importers of precipitation from the oceans. We know this because, while only 15% of global evaporation occurs from the continents, the continents receive 23% of the globe’s precipitation. How is this discrepancy sustainable without the continents filling up with water and the oceans emptying out?

- There is an old axiom (a self-evident or universally recognized truth) of economics that “There is no such thing as a free lunch”. In the United States, stringent, enforced water quality laws and regulations provide a high level of protection of our waters. This is accomplished at a significant cost. For example, (sewage treatment plants use 2% of the electricity produced in the United States. This high level of protection increases the cost of goods manufactured in the United States compared to other nations such as China where standards are lower, enforcement a bit lax and in some cases, non-existent. What five (5) things could be done to “level the playing field” so that all manufacturers must provide the same degree of water quality protection no matter where in the world they are located? include how each of your ideas will be implemented (ex: which organization will be provided the power and resources to make sure each idea happens).
