Respond to the following based on your reading.
View the Precipitation Map of Washington, then view the Shaded Relief Map of
Washington. The first map shows how much rain falls in different regions of
Washington state. The second map gives you information about those regions.
Using both maps, what can you tell about the regions in Washington that get the
most or the least amount of rain?

I just took the test this would be the correct answer.

In the Precipitation Map of Washington, the dark orange section indicates low rainfall in the region. Using the Shaded Relief Map of Washington, you can tell that this area is flat, possibly a plain. These regions typically don't receive a lot of rain. The Precipitation Map of Washington has areas that are dark purple and dark green. This indicates that they both receive a lot of rainfall every year. If you look at these areas on the Shaded Relief Map of Washington, you can tell that these areas with a lot of rainfall are mountainous.

On the Precipitation Map of Washington, purple/blue means more rain, and orange/red means less rain. The Shaded Relief Map of Washington shows mountains (brown), valleys, plateaus, and canyons. Areas that are flat are smooth on the map. Areas with steep slopes and mountains look rougher.

Explanation: This was on my feedback from the test as possible answers.
