Identify two major physical features of New Mexico then explain one way these features have similar or different influences on life in the state

One feature of New Mexico is its desert climate, meaning higher yearly temperatures and drier humidity. This means that plants and crops need to be able to survive with less water or a good irrigation needs to be provided. Another feature of New Mexico is the Native American Indian population spread out through the state. This means that you are more likely to encounter Native American Indians and interact with them on a daily basis than in other states.
