Pacific Coastal Plain: Along the coast of the Pacific Ocean and boarded by the Cascade Mountains and the Sierra Nevada Mountains, this area stretches from Alaska to Mexico.  It includes the states of California, Oregon, and Washington. This region includes the giant redwood trees and many fruit growing areas.

Interior Plains: "Great Plains" This is the large grassland in the middle of the United States. The Mississippi River flows through this area. It also has rich farming soil. During the 1930's the soil was over used and turned this area into the "dust bowl."

Rocky Mountians
This the is the longest and tallest Mountain Range in North America. This is where the Continental Divide is, or the place in the continent where the rivers flow towards the Pacific Ocean instead of the Atlantic. These mountains are steep and difficult to cross which led to hard travels for settlers of the West in the 1800's.
