Because the major mountain ranges in the United States run in a north-south direction, they have a large impact on the climate of the country’s various regions. The west coast, for example, has a milder climate than the interior because it is moderated by its proximity to the ocean, whereas places like Arizona and Nevada are very hot and dry because they are on the leeward side of mountains ranges.
