Geographic Regions of Oklahoma

Question 2 • OK-Oklahoma History -CA- 37411A

What is one reason why western Oklahoma has a different climate than eastern Oklahoma?

Answer

There are large differences in the richness of soil between the western and eastern parts of the state.

There are large differences in elevation between the western and eastern parts of the state.

There are large differences in population between the western and eastern parts of the state.

There are large differences in animal ecosystems between the western and eastern parts of the state.

Explanation

Elevation can affect temperature and precipitation, so regions at different elevations may have different climates. Western and eastern Oklahoma differ in elevation, which helps explain their climate differences. Soil richness, population, and animal ecosystems do not directly account for the regional climate difference.
