3. Climate
- It affected by two different ocean currents.
- The Labrador Current brings cold water south
from the Arctic and causes freezing weather
during the winter.
- The Gulf is the opposite bringing warm water
north from the Caribbean.
5. Topography
- The Coastal Plains have an elevation of a little
bit less than 200 meters above sea level.
- The ground is mostly flat with little rolling hills
7. Topography
- The Great lake has little rolling hills from
glaciations.
- All of the flat plains are broken by hills and
deep river valleys
- There are flat plains on both sides of the river
which eventually it begins to rise into the
Canadian Shield and also the Applachian.
8. Climate
- It is humid because of the Great Lakes.
- During summer time the Great Lake cools
down the temperature.
- The Great Lake stores heat during the summer
time and when its winter time the lake makes
the temperature warmer.
9. Vegetation
- It used to have the most leafed forest because the
soil and the condition was good enough to
allow a lot of trees for example maple, beech,
hickory, and black walnut.
10. Topography
- The Great Plains have higher elevation rising
from about 600 meters to 1500 meters above sea
level.
- The interior plains have three different
elevations they are all separated by
escarpments.
- The plains are little hills, gradually sloping
down, from west to east.
11. Climate
- The weather is extreme, hot summers, cold
winters, and very little precipitation.
- Farther north the winters are colder and longer,
and the summer is shorter and cooler.
12. Vegetation
- It used to be scattered with evergreens and
deciduous trees.
- The west of Mississippi the grasses grew as tall
as people.
13. Topography
- The glaciers from the Ice Age removed the soil
leaving a barren rock surface.
- The shield exist of a chaotic pattern of rivers,
lakes, swamps, and muskeg.
- In the north the elevation is about 100 meters
above sea level and in the south about 500
meters.
14. Climate
- In the north the winters are long and cold and
the summers are shorter and cooler
15. Vegetation
- Boreal covers a lot of the shield evergreens,
spruce, pine, and fir are the best suited for thin
sandy soil.
16. Topography
- There are many different mountain ranges.
- The Western Cordillera mountains are twice
the size then the Appalachian mountains.
17. Climate
- The west coast is moist and mild.
- Winters above freezing and windward slopes
are a lot better than leeward slopes.
19. Topography
- The streams and the rivers of the Intermountain
Region’s mountains and plateaus they don’t
reach the sea.
20. Climate
- Winters are cool, wet, hot and, and dry.
- In the south the winters are short and warm
with barely any precipitation.
- In the north the winters are moist, the summers
are hot and dry, and barely any precipitation.
22. Topography
- Mainly flat.
- The mountains in the north were formed by
folding.
- The mountains are covered by glaciers.
23. Climate
- The winters last for 10 months and it is very
cold.
- The summer is very short and not that warm.
- There is barely any precipitation so it is a
dessert.
