Answer 1

Answer: Coastal areas receive more rain.

Explanation: As ocean water evaporates, clouds form. These clouds move over land and rain often occurs as they do. This explains why coastal areas usually receive more rain than inland areas, because they are closer to the source of the rainclouds.
