19. During many hurricanes, including Katrina and Isabel, it is not the strong winds, but the heavy rains that cause the most devastation once a hurricane makes landfall To give you a sense of the amount of water in a hurricane event answer the question below. The amount of rain that fell during Hurricane Isabel's lifetime was 400 trillion tons of water. (Remember that a trillion is the same as 1.0 x 1012 ) Knowing that a ton is 2000 pounds and one pound is equivalent to 2.20 kg, how many kg of water is this? (5 points) Do the calculation and write your answer in scientific notation. If we say that the density of water is 1.0 x 1012 kg per cubic kilometer, how many cubic kilometers of water condensed as rain out of Hurricane Isabel? Show your work clearly. (5 points)
