If a thunderstorm were over your house right now and it produced radar reflectivity echoes of 47 dbz over an area for 2 hours. how much rain would have fallen in that area over this timer period?

select one:

a. 1.3 inches

b. 2.6 inches

c. 4 inches

d. 5 inches

e. doppler radar cannot measure the total amount of rainfall. it can only measure the intensity of the rain at any given moment.

Option E

Explanation:

Doppler radar measures velocity precipitation particles in a precipitating region and can not be used to calculate amount of rain( a rain gauge is the instrument used to measure amount of rain.)

the first phase of the government’s plan for settlement was building the transcontinental railroad. the railroad provided a way to bring settlers and manufactured goods west and ship their agricultural and mining produce east. the transcontinental railroad was an essential artery for rapid development of the frontier.

the second phase of the government’s plan was a liberal land distribution policy that made it possible for many people to homestead. with these two key elements—transportation and cheap land—the government rapidly achieved its goal of persuading people to move west, settle on farms, and push back the frontier.
