Explain what the climate in ancient North America must have been like as a part of Pangaea?
The climate of North America must have been much warmer and more humid than it is in the present day. This is because when North America was a part of Pangaea, it was much closer to the equator (see figure 17.5 on page 471). Since the equator receives the highest concentration of the sun's energy and heat, the climate is warmer. So when the super-continent split apart, North America drifted towards the north end of the planet to reach the position it is at today, giving it the present cool climate. The climate of ancient North America must have been close to the current climate of South Asia (places such as India), and Central Africa.
Why is land on the windward side of a mountain range is usually green and lush while the other side is usually drier?
The windward side of a mountain range receives moist air from the prevailing winds. As the air rises up the slope, it cools and releases moisture as precipitation, creating a wetter climate and supporting lush vegetation. In contrast, the leeward side, or the rain shadow side, receives drier air that has already lost much of its moisture on the windward side, resulting in a drier climate and less vegetation.
Why is vegetation at the top of a tall mountain different from the vegetation at the bottom?
at the bottom of the mountain the climate is warm allowing much vegetation to be grown. as you climb farther up the climate and temperature drops allowing not much vegetation at all to grow.

What statements describes why much of the primary vegetation of the US does not exist today?
One reason is human activity, such as deforestation for agriculture and urban development. Another reason is natural disturbances like wildfires, which can eliminate large areas of vegetation. Additionally, climate change and invasive species can also contribute to the loss of primary vegetation in the US.
