Three Airs Meet a Mountain

Three moving air masses meet at a mountain range: one warm and wet, one warm and dry, and one cold. The mountain makes many small places with different moisture and temperature, so many kinds of plants can grow there.

In the picture

  1. Teal rain-cloud arrow from the east.
  2. Orange sun arrow from the southwest.
  3. Pale blue snowflake arrow from the north.
  4. Group of five different plants on the mountain slopes.

Examples

  • A sunny windowsill and a shady corner of the same room can grow different plants.
  • A garden with a wet patch and a dry patch may hold different flowers.
