Storms that remain in a region for about 20 hours have rainfall of 1 km3 as their ______________ [q3] Half of the storms that remain in a region for about 80 hours have rainfall between about ____________________ [all] The storms that dumped the most rain in a region remained there for _______________ hours [lasttwo] This image shows that ____________________________________ [moretimemorerain]
