“Analyzed by Brandon Weber and Phoebe Torschia”
A highland is an area where the Earths tectonic plates have continuously bumped into each other in various places, resulting in inconsistent areas containing hills and flat lands. The terrain usually consists of heavy grass and trees aging anywhere from 80 to 210 years old. The soil in a highland is described as “exceptionally fertile”, thus the reason for heavy flower and plant development.
