Answer:

Explanation:

Wind can be described by its direction and speed. Wind direction is described using the direction from which it is blowing. Westerly winds move from west to east, while easterly winds move from east to west. Wind speed can be described using measurements like miles per hour or levels on a scale called the Beaufort scale. The Beaufort scale divides wind speeds into categories and uses specific words for different strengths of wind. A “breeze” is a light wind, while a “gale” is stronger. On the Beaufort Scale, the strongest breeze is 31 miles per hour; any wind over 32 miles per hour is considered a gale.

The upliftment lined to the mountain formation later moved the sediments thousand feet upwards and created the Colorado plateau. Causing the temperatures in the northern rimland to decrease than in the southern rim due to its greater height above elevation.

As weather varies according to the elevations the forested rims have high snowfall but the temperature at the Colorado rover is warmer, about 1,737 species of vascular planet and fungi, lichens and others are found at 24,00 meters height.
