In the state of Washington, the prevailing winds blow eastward off the ocean and up and over two mountain ranges. Biologists are searching for a rare fern plant that is known to prefer cool and wet environments, but hasn't been seen in this state for many decades. Where would the biologists most likely find the plant

Answer:

The biologists would most likely find the plants on the west side of mountain ranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rainfall is highest on the west sides of the mountain ranges. The high elevations will also result in cooler temperatures, preferred by this fern.
