What type of weather would be present in texas? How do you know?
The weather in texas would be sunny and fair because there is a high pressure system there. (High pressure systems are associated with clear skies)

What is it called when plants release water vapor through their leaves?
Transpiration

What side of a mountain do people skii on (leeward or windward) and explain why
Windward side because prevailing winds carry precipitation but it is hard to carry that precipitation over an entire mountain. So, most of it stays on the windward side.
