Why is It Green Over There?

Today we drove up into the mountains where there was an enormous wall of slate grey clouds. The temperature dropped, and rain began to fall down from the sky. The same mountains looked completely different from yesterday, all because of WATER.

Right above are three different pictures I took today. Look at them carefully. Compare and contrast them. Why do you think the clusters of trees and greenery are growing where they are growing?

Here's the daily slideshow of our activities.
