Answer:
Skamania County is located on the North American Plate, just like the rest of the state of Washington. The plate immediately to the front is the Juan de Fuca Plate, which runs alongside the coast of Washington.
In fact, most of the United States is located on the North American tectonic plate, including Alaska. Only Western California is located on another plate: The Pacific Plate, whose boundary with the North American Plate is the famous San Andreas Fault.
Hello @D1fficult,
How are you doing? As of your question, "<span>What is the main cause of the differences in the physical characteristics of the Middle East and South America?"
Well, some differences that you would see is that, first of all, the Middle East is desert. The climate is dry, almost no rain, sandstorms, and heat. In the night, its cold, more water supply, however it still is dry. Their is mountains there, and almost no animals.
South America, you may know as the Amazon Forest. The Amazon Forest is everything but the Middle East. The climate is always wet, and its always raining. Lots of Vegetation, and animal variety.
I hope that you are able to see the difference, and I hope this helped you, if you need any more help, contact me!
Thank you,
Darian D.</span>
