The Four Regions of Texas

The North Central Plains The Great Plains The Mountains and Basins The Coastal Plains

Let’s discuss our findings about each region in regards to: Climate Landforms Subsections Characteristics

The inside flap will have the climate and landforms Behind the coloring, we will write its subsections and characteristics

The Coastal Plains Landforms: Four national forests Gulf of Mexico Grasslands Big Thicket National Preserve Climate: Mild climate due to Gulf Natural winds Tropical Dallas, Austin, Pasadena, San Antonio, Houston, Corpus, Laredo, Brownsville

Subsections: Characteristics: South Texas Plain Gulf Coast Plain Piney Woods Post Oak Belt Blackland Prairie Characteristics: Rich natural resources (oil fields, national forests) Fertile soil and long growing season ideal for farming/ranching (cotton, citrus fruit, livestock) Industrialized for oil/natural gas (petrochemical) Seaports and gateway to Mexico

The North Central Plains Climate: Moderating winds Colder in winter Hotter in summer Less rainfall Landforms: Valleys Hills Buttes Rivers Mesas Grasses/brush Fort Worth, Wichita Falls, Abilene, Killeen

Subsections: Rolling Plains Cross Timbers Grand Prairie Characteristics: Agricultural for framing by row Fruits, vegetables, pecans, peaches Large cattle ranching Sheep and goat ranching Largest wool producers Small population

The Great Plains Lubbock, Amarillo, Fredricksburg, Kerrville, Del Rio Climate: Dry Droughts Cooler summers Colder winters Landforms: Rolling plains Seas of grass Lakes Reservoirs Aquifers Flatness Hill Country Rivers Lubbock, Amarillo, Fredricksburg, Kerrville, Del Rio

Subsections: Characteristics: Edwards Plateau High Plains Llano Basin Ill suited for farming Trees foilage from cedar, smoak, mesquite (great for sheep) Weeds Perfect for grazing Buffalo, cattle, sheep Deer (white tailed deer hunting), wild turkey Goat (Angora wool producing) Cotton and wheat production

The Mountains and Basins Climate: Desert Little rain Harsh extremes Dry Landforms: Canyons Mountain plateaus Basins El Paso, Fort Stockton

Characteristics: Big Bend National Park Mountain ranges include Chisos, Davis, Guadalupe Range, El Capitan Cactus, yucca, creosote bush Natural resources in minerals such as limestone, shale, clay, copper, sulphur, salt, talc Cotton production Economical and cultural ties to Mexico (maquiladoras) Strong Hispanic traditions Sparsely settled
