CH 3 TEXAS HISTORY THE REGIONS OF TEXAS

FOUR NATURAL REGIONS A NATURAL REGION IS AN AREA WITH A COMMON PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT.

FOUR NATURAL REGIONS GEOGRAPHERS DIVIDE THE U. S. INTO 10 MAJOR NATURAL REGIONS, WITH PARTS OF 4 OF THEM FOUND IN TEXAS.

FOUR NATURAL REGIONS TEXAS HAS 4 NATURAL REGIONS. A PERSON WHO HAS LIVED IN ALL 4 REGIONS WOULD BEST HELP HISTORIANS UNDERSTAND ALL OF THESE REGIONS.

GREAT PLAINS THE GREAT PLAINS REGION IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE MOUNTAINS AND BASINS AND THE NORTH CENTRAL PLAINS.

HIGH PLAINS THE EDWARDS PLATEAU SUB-REGION OF THE HIGH PLAINS CONTAINS THE EDWARDS AQUIFER , AN IMPORTANT NATURAL FEATURE.

HIGH PLAINS THE HIGH PLAINS SUBREGION OF THE GREAT PLAINS EXTENDS DOWN THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT AND INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE.

THE PLAINS BOTH THE GULF COAST PLAINS AND THE GREAT PLAINS ARE SIMILAR IN THAT THEY BOTH HAVE PLAINS.

COASTAL PLAINS • THE GULF COAST PLAIN IS BORDERED BY THE GULF OF MEXICO. • THE COASTAL PLAINS REGION IS THE LARGEST NATURAL REGION AND HAS THE LONGEST GROWING SEASON.

COASTAL TEXAS VS. MOUNTAINS AND BASINS THE MOUNTAINS AND BASINS REGION ENVIRONMENT IS PRIMARILY DESERT. COASTAL TEXAS HAS MORE RIVERS.

MOUNTAINS AND BASINS • THE INTERMOUNTAIN BASINS AND PLATEAUS IS THE SMALLEST NATURAL REGION WITHIN TEXAS’ BORDER. • THE STATE’S HIGHEST LANDFORMS ARE FOUND IN THIS REGION.

MOUNTAINS AND BASINS AS YOU MOVE FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE STATE, YOU WILL BEGIN IN LOW ELEVATIONS AND GRADUALLY MOVE HIGHER IN ELEVATION.

METROPOLITAN TEXAS • THE METROPLEX INCLUDES DALLAS, FORT WORTH, AND THEIR SUBURBS. • THE MAJOR CITIES OF TEXAS DEVELOPED MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE AVAILABILITY OF JOBS AND INDUSTRIES.

METROPOLITAN TEXAS LARGER CITIES ARE PRIMARILY CLOSE TO WATERWAYS AND TRANSPORTATION ROUTES.

METROPOLITAN TEXAS AUSTIN IS THE CAPITAL OF TEXAS AND LOCATED IN CENTRAL TEXAS ON THE COLORADO RIVER.

WHERE THE WEST BEGINS SOME CONSIDER FORT WORTH TO BE PART OF WEST TEXAS BECAUSE IT HAS ECONOMIC AND HISTORICAL TIES TO THE CATTLE INDUSTRY IN THAT REGION.

LARGEST CITY IN TEXAS HOUSTON GREW QUICKLY IN THE 20 TH CENTURY BECAUSE OF THE OIL INDUSTRY.

CULTURAL REGIONS HAVE SIMILAR BELIEFS, TRAITS, AND VALUES. EXAMPLES ARE THE METROPLEX OF DALLAS-FORT WORTH, THE HILL COUNTRY AND EARLY GERMAN SETTLERS, AND THE SUNBELT OF THESOUTHWEST U. S.
