Answer:

Nepal is at a much higher elevation than Kansas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nepal is a nation located on the Asian continent in the Himalayan hills region; to the north its border meets the territory of China; at the other ends, east, south and west, it is tangential to India. This financially deprived country has the capital city of Kathmandu. Nepal has an altitude of 8,848 meters, which makes Nepal much higher than Kansas which is 277 meters high. These altitude differences make weathering in Nepal happen faster than in Kansas.

Nepal has a lot of possible reasons that could affect weather.Like having a lot of mountains to be worn down unlike Kansas that just falls flat.

Plus the the main agents of weathering, heat/cold, water, and ice are all present in Nepal.
