12. Hey, how does it differ from the Mojave?

I was stationed at a fish hatchery on the Colorado. What's the effective difference between the Mojave and the Sonora?

14. it's biologically richer, generally lower in elevation, lacks Joshua trees...

...and seems more varied and interesting to me than Mojave desert.

Here's some links describing both:
