Why are the pyramid on top of the Mormon temples?
Most, but not all, temples and churches of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) have a steeple on top of or adjacent to the main building. This is not meant to resemble a pyramid in any way, it is in following a popular Christian tradition to have a steeple on religious buildings. The steeple is meant to draw the eye upward toward God and to identify that the building has a sacred purpose. No Mormon temple has a 'pyramid' on top, and the pyramid has no symbolic meaning in Mormonism. Many steeples on Mormon temples feature a gold statue of the angel Moroni, who is heralding the return of Jesus Christ. Mormon churches usually have plain steeples. Check out the "Related Links" below to see example images of steeples on various Mormon buildings.

Which states contain present day chiefly Mormon areas?
Many states in the western United States have areas with high concentrations of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church).-The state most well known for it's Mormon population is Utah, a state mostly settled by Mormon pioneers and home to the international headquarters of the Church. Approximately half of all Utahans are practicing Mormons, with many more (perhaps 30% or so) non-practicing or former Mormons. There are 17 Mormon Temples and 5,000 congregations in Utah.-Idaho, specifically southeastern Idaho and the suburbs of Boise (cities of Meridian, Nampa, etc) in western Idaho, have high Mormon populations. Southeastern Idaho is home to a church-owned university, and there are 5 Temples and 1,100 congregations in Idaho.-Arizona, specifically northern Arizona and the suburbs of Phoenix (cities of Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, etc). Arizona has 6 Temples and 836 congregations.(Together, Idaho, Utah, and Arizona make up what is sometimes called the "Mormon Curtain", a high concentration of Mormons stretching from the old Mormon colonies in northern Mexico to the old Mormon colonies in southern Canada.)- Washington, specifically the tri-cities area (Kennewick, Richland, Pasco in the southeastern portion of the state). Washington has 3 Temples and 545 congregations.-California has a fair amount of Mormons as well, with 7 temples, 1,355 congregations, and more missions than any other state (19).-There are pockets with high Mormon concentrations in many other states, including Oregon, Wyoming, Missouri, Texas, New York, and Florida.
What state has the most Mormon temples?
Utah is home to the most temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) with 16 (three of which are under construction as of July 2012). Other states with a lot of temples are California (7 temples), Arizona (5 temples), Idaho (5 temples), Texas (4 temples), and Washington (3 temples). Most other states have one or two. 15 states do not yet have temples of their own. Please note that Mormon Temples are different than churches/meetinghouses. Mormon Temples are only for special ceremonies, but meetinghouses are where regular Sunday worship is held. Utah has between 2,000 and 3,000 meetinghouses, each housing from 1 to 4 congregations. California and Idaho have the next highest numbers, with about 400-500 meetinghouses each.

On Mormon Temples what direction does the Angel Moroni point his horn and why?
There is no set direction in which the Angel Moroni points. And in fact, as of 2013, eight Mormon Temples don't have any Angel Moroni statue at all. Eight additional temples have received a statue several years after their dedication to help identify them as Mormon Temples. On most temples, the angel statue faces east if possible. This is supposedly because Moroni is meant to be heralding or signaling the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, whom is often associated with the east in scripture; but this is more of a tradition than an official belief or practice. There are several temples where the angel faces another direction simply because of the direction of the building or the lot it was built on. On five temples (Seattle, Manilla Philippines, Taipei Taiwan, Spokane, and Nauvoo, Illinois), the angel faces due west because the temple faces west.
