Answer to Question 1

The lack of mountain ranges allows for the development of strong winds across the Plains, making the region one of the best locations for wind-generated energy production in North America.

Answer to Question 2

Because the Texas panhandle is much farther south and closer to the Gulf of Mexico, its climate is much warmer and subject to more tornadoes than the climate of Manitoba.

It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
