Answers
hey mate,
The climate and geography of the mountains allows for different types of plants to grow and thrive.
In this lesson, explore different types of flowers, trees, and other plants that grow in mountain areas.
Mountain Geography & Climate
If you've ever taken a trip to the mountains, you know that there are characteristics of this region that make it unique.
The geography is very rocky, and the climate is much colder because the land
is so high up.
---------------------
Many mountain areas get a large amount of snowfall in the winter. Because of these features, there are specific trees and plants that grow well in mountain areas.
Trees & Shrubs
---------------------------
Many of the trees and shrubs in mountain areas are evergreen.
This means that the leaves or needles stay green year-round, unlike trees with leaves that turn colors and fall to the ground.
Evergreen trees such as cedars, pines, and spruce trees are common to mountain regions.
These trees like the cold climate, which is why many Christmas tree farms are located in mountain regions.
Another evergreen shrub found in the mountains is the juniper plant.
This bush has purple-blue berries and it likes to grow in rocky areas where the weather does not get overly warm.
