Our RegionsThe United States is separated into regions. A region is an area with common features that set it apart from other areas. There are five Regions in the United States and they are the west, middle west, northeast, southwest, and southeast. New Jersey is also separated into 4 regions and they are the Atlantic Coastal Plain, Piedmont, Highlands, and Ridge and Valley

The United States Regions

Northeast We live in the northeast, and we have all four seasons. They are winter, summer, fall, and spring. The Coastal Plain is a flat lowland along the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The Appalachian mountains are found in most of the states in this region

SoutheastThe southeast is warm all year long, and is crisscross with rivers. There are large areas of wetlands such as swamps, marshes, and bayous-ex Everglades. The Davis bayou is a marshy slow moving stream.

Middle west The middle west produces corn and wheat. It is made up of the Interior Plain. Also the central plain is found in the east, low elevation, and produces corn. The Great Plains are found in the west, cold winters and hot summers. The Great Plain also produces wheat.

SouthwestThe Rocky Mountains appear in this region as well as the west.One of the most famous famous landforms is found in this region and it is the Grand Canyon. This region shares the Great Plains with the Middle west. The region is made up of high plateaus, plains, and deserts.

WestThe Great Basin is in this region. The redwood trees that grow in Oregon and California are the tallest trees in the world. The landforms include mountains, plateaus, and valleys.

New Jersey's Regions

Ridge and ValleyIt is home to the Delaware water gap mad high point state park. Also dairy farming is an important business in this region. The Appalachian mountains run through this region.

Highlands

Most of NJ's lakes are located here and the town of Franklin is known for its glowing rocks.

Piedmont

NJ's greatest population is located here, and palisades form the eastern border. Also it is located at the foothills. Also the fall line separated it from theACP.

Atlantic Coastal Plains

We live in this region. It covers more than half of NJ. Also it is home to the Pinelands.
