Ch. 16 The North Pacific Coast

The North Pacific Coast has the greatest average annual precipitation on the continent. The precipitation average of 600 cm is more than twice of any other area (except Hawaii) in the United States or Canada. Like The North Pacific Coast, Florida also receives a lot of precipitation in large part because afternoon thunderstorms are common in most of the state from late spring until early autumn. 

The biggest difference between the North Pacific Coast and Florida is in it's topography. While the North Pacific Coast offers a land of mountains and breath taking views, Florida is very flat and lacks many mountains and is around sea level.
