Mountains are BIG! Have you ever climbed a mountain before? You keep climbing and climbing and you reach what you think is the top but there's another 5 miles to reach the peak??? Mountains are so large that some of them can affect climate in a big way! They can block winds or reflect winds back into a valley. Air that is forced upward, cools really fast. The moisture falls on the windward side soaking one side of the mountain creating a green, fertile side. As the cold, dry air travels over the top of the mountain, no moisture is dropped because cold air doesn't hold moisture. The other side of the mountain can be a dry, arid, desert environment. Mountains can channel winds into interesting patterns which causes intense storms at times. Mountains store snow too. The higher land masses have high altitude as well as cold temperatures. Snow collects on these land masses and reflect sunlight. This decreases our temperatures on the Earth because less heat is absorbed, and more heat energy is reflected into space. Could moving a mountain affect climate? Yes! If there weren't any mountains, weather would be so much less complicated. Instead of having desert flat lands behind mountains, there would be more green, fertile plains. But! If the mountains were gone we would have lots more...TORNADOES! Tornado Alley, (South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, northern Texas, and eastern Colorado) Here across this flat plain the winds whip and swirl around like a long river of turbulent water. In this area there is millions of dollars of damage each year and thousands of injuries, every year, because the wind whistles through here like a train locomotive! Do you see the relatively quiet wind patterns on the left side, or western side of the state? That's where the mountains are. So, I say leave the mountains alone! They need to stay! We might have an earthquake or two (maybe a swarm in Bluffdale...), but I don't mind that compared to the winds that cross the plains! Um, let's leave the mountains alone....

That's what I remember the High Adventure trip I went on with the priest in my ward like, when you think you are at the top and you still have another 5 miles.

i hate climbing mountains because you get to the top then you have to go back to the bottom and then you have to go back to the top because you left something at the top then you have to like go back to the bottom then when you are in the car then you realize that you left something on the bottom of the mountain. but then you realize that you left it at the tipy top then it is too dark to go back to the top so you come back first thing in the morning but you can't find it so you have to buy another one but then you realize that you just left it in your back pocket...
