Why did the native peoples of the Northwest build wood houses while those of the Southwest built with adobe? I was going to say: The Northwest had many trees, but since the Southwest had little rainfall it would be hard to grow trees; so they decided on adobe homes. I'm not sure if this is correct so can I get a little help.

You are kind of correct because the Native Americans in the Desert Southwest adapted to their environment by building houses of adobe instead of trees because there were not many trees. The Native Americans in the North did have many trees to build wood houses and the wooden houses were perfect for living in cold climates.
