What is the geography of Arizona?

I'm doing a project on Arizona for science class and I need to know some geography of Arizona. So far, I have:

Northern Arizona is on the Colorado Plateau

Mean elevation- 4,100 feet above sea level

Navajo/Apache Indian Reservations in North East



What else can I add? And also, what's the weather like in Arizona? Thanks!What is the geography of Arizona?
Northern Arizona is a high desert, with the area near Nevada and California being part of the Mojave desert. Down towards Phoenix it gets lower, and the landscape changes with the lower elevation, although it's still desert. South of that, there's Tucson, which is a nice area with tons of Saguaro cactus. Overall, however, Arizona a dry, desert state with very little precipitation that can get extremely hot in summer, but is pleasant in fall, winter and spring. Spring is the prettiest time, as it often rains and produces desert flowers - a rare sight that is only seen for a couple weeks per year. I love to visit, but it's all to hot and brown for me to want to live there. I'll take my own, beautiful state of Colorado instead :)What is the geography of Arizona?
I grew up on the Colorado Plateau in the Navajo Reservation (Northern Arizona)



How is our weather? Summer it reaches a 100 usually, then fall it gets very cold and dry, winter kicks in and it hits below zero with plenty or ice and snow, then it all turns to mud by spring. For months the mud makes cross country travel near impossible, then the heavy wind storms kick in and dry the area up like a brick. Then the summer heat kicks in again, and it repeats.



Pretty bad weather, but it makes you hardy.What is the geography of Arizona?
Arizona has a pretty big canyon. Canyons echo. Listen to the echo and re-hear what Pepper is saying. She is spot on. Lazy is what we are producing in our schools. Do your own work. Well spoken Pepper!
I'm tired of doing homework on here. They teach you how to use computers in school and do searches. Apply what you have learned or here's a thought - visit your library!
