They grow in most terrain, but prefer moist, shady areas.
In mountainous areas, heavy precipitation is possible where upslope flow is maximized within windward sides of the terrain at elevation which forces moist air to condense and fall out as rainfall along the sides of mountains.
These creatures appear to be making their way across the harsh terrain via the gopher's cool, moist subway system.
Indeed, the Keweenaw Peninsula is a simulacrum to parts of Scandinavia, boreal and moist, with big stones poking out of piney hills — terrain that keeps you thinking a gnome might skitter by.
In Australia a variety of temperate broad-leaved forests occur, usually as small patches in moist, sheltered, and fire-protected areas in mountainous and coastal terrain along the east coast.
These showers occur particularly on islands with elevated terrain features that interrupt the flow of the warm moist air.
Southwesterly monsoon currents channel moist air toward the eastern Himalayas, where the moisture rising over the steep terrain cools and condenses to fall as rain or snow; in June, therefore, Darjiling receives about 24 inches (600 mm) and Mussoorie less than 8 inches (200 mm).
In addition, the partial differential equations used in the model need to be supplemented with parameterizations for solar radiation, moist processes (clouds and precipitation), heat exchange, soil, vegetation, surface water, and the effects of terrain.
It has a slightly hilly terrain (150 250 m above sea level) and lies in the forest-savannah transition agro ecological zone, with the moist forest in the south and the Guinea savannah zone to the north.
