Movement People have chosen to live where they have in the region because it has a warm climate Goods are transported to, within and out of region by train car and plane Interesting traditions or customs are customs are similar to Wisconsin's. The company that uses that route would have to find other ways to transport their products and it could cost them a lot of money and time if their major route was interrupted.

Region List and describe major tourist attractions- grand canyon, national park in Arizona Unique characteristics are deserts, canyons, and plateaus. This region has impacted the US by brining in a lot of money to the US because of people vacationing there and spending money to visit the grand canyon.
