heavy precipitation?

Question

explain why the west coast and the east coast of canada experience heavy precipitation while the central and the northern parts of canada receive light sparse precipitation ?

Answer 1

because the central part is cut of from the main source of moisture, the atlantic and the pacific, the northern part gets light precip because cold temperatures can't hold much moisture.

Answer 2

The West Coast is full of mountains, when the rain clouds comes upon these mountains, they dump there rainfall. In the Central and Northern parts there is no mountains, so the rain is lighter. The mountains squeeze more rain out of the clouds because the cloud is compressing, like what you do when you squeeze a sponge.

Answer 3

The answer to this question is long and complicated, as are all weather questions. You should do a search to find out more.

Winds blow in from the west, over the Pacific, and pick up moisture, then they come over the land, and hit turbulance caused by the Sierra mountains, and rain falls. Then the winds go over the plains and nothing much happens, etc...

Answer 4

cause of the winds on those parts of the coast blow the storms away

Answer 5

It could be all that water out there beyond those coasts.
