The region s economy varies (factories, fishing, services, tourism) as the residents had to adapt to the region s seasons.

14 Southeast Region Geographical Features: Plains, farmland, rich soil, coast, Appalachian Mountain Range, major rivers This area is also called the Sun Belt which stretches across the southern part of the U.S. and includes many types of climates from desert to tropical. The mild weather and plentiful rainfall create optimal growing conditions for crops such as tobacco, cotton, and peanuts in most of the region while Florida s hot weather and miles of sandy beaches thrives on tourism.

15 Midwest Region Geographical Features: Landlocked, plains, farmland Known as America s Heartland because of its vast lands of farmland and its in the middle of the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains. There are no oceans in this region which causes an extreme fluctuation of temperatures (past 100 degrees to bone-chilling). Residents have adapted to this region as they have farmed wheat, oats, and corn and thus, the region is named as the Breadbasket of America.

16 Southwest Region Geographical Features: A wide-open area of mostly deserts, mountains, plateaus, and plains as well as the semiarid to arid climate presents a variety of challenges to the development of the area.

17 Northwest Region Geographical Features: Rocky Mountains, deserts, grasslands, coastal This region is the wettest part of all regions while temperatures in Washington and Oregon remain mild throughout the year. The terrain brings several challenges and opportunities such as mountains (Rockies), deserts, and semi-arid grasslands. Today, the region thrives on tourism, the entertainment industry, and coastal fishing.
