A) Hurricane Harvey dumped an average of 5 inches (about 13cm) of rain per day over a 20,000 square mile area for five days. What volume of water (in cubic meters) does this amount to per day? Hint: 1 square mile is equal to 2.6x10^6 square meters, and volume is just area times depth.
B) One cubic meter of water weighs 1000kg. It takes about 2.26x10^6 Joules to evaporate one kg of water. How much energy (in Joules - use scientific notation) is required to evaporate the amount of water that hurricane Harvey rained out per day (from part A.)? Note: World-wide electrical generating power is about 200x10^15 Joules per day.
