Climate: question 1. How does rainfall change as you go up higher and higher in Waipi'o Valley? Basic Instructions: write down (keep track of) elevation and rainfall at 20.1180 -155.5962 (Mouth of Waipi'o Valley) at 20.0868 -155.6431 (narrow ridge at confluence of multiple tributaries) and at 20.0854 -155.6780 (head of erosional valleys) Group of answer choices The mouth of Waipi'o Valley at about 35 m has an annual rainfall is 2174 mm. The narrow ridge at abou 697 m has rainfall about 3730 mm, and the head of the erosional valley system at about 1265 m, rainfall is only slightly higher at about 3853 mm. None of the other answers are an accurate answer to the question. As the elevation of the valley rises up from 0 m at sea level, to 500 m, and then to 1000 m, precipitation increases slightly from about 2200 mm, to 2400 mm, and then to 2600 mm. Notice that for every 100 m, precipitation goes up by about 20 mm. As the elevation of the valley rises up from 0 m at sea level, to 1000 m, and then to 2000 m, precipitation increases slightly from about 2200 mm, to 2500 mm, and
