 The United States may be divided into eight broad physiographic divisions:  Atlantic Plain - the coastal regions of the eastern and southern parts includes the continental shelf, the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf Coast.  Appalachian Highlands - lying on the eastern side of the United States, it includes the Appalachian Mountains, the Watchung Mountains, the Adirondacks and New England province originally containing the Great Eastern Forest.  Interior Plains - part of the interior contentintal United States, it includes much of what is called the Great Plains.  Interior Highlands - also part of the interior contentintal United States, this division includes the Ozark Plateau.  Rocky Mountain System - one branch of the Cordilleran system lying far inland in the western states.  Intermontane Plateaus - also divided into the Columbia Plateau, the Colorado Plateau and the Basin and Range Province, it is a system of plateaus, basins, ranges and gorges between the Rocky and Pacific Mountain Systems. It is the setting for the Grand Canyon, the Great Basin and Death Valley.  Pacific Mountain System - the coastal mountain ranges and features in the west coast of the United States.  Laurentian Upland - part of the Canadian Shield that extends into the northern United States Great Lakes area.

 Natural resources are derived from the environment. Many of them are essential for our survival while others are used for satisfying our wants

 Due to its large size and wide range of geographic features, the United States contains examples of nearly every global climate. The climate is temperate in most areas, subtropical in the Deep South, tropical in Hawaii and southern Florida, polar in Alaska, semiarid in the Great Plains west of the 100th meridian, Mediterranean in coastal California and arid in the Great Basin.

 Elevation extremes:  Lowest point: Death Valley, Inyo County, California  Highest point: Mount McKinley, Denali Borough, Alaska
