Intro

Four Regions, One Big State

Texas is so big that the land changes dramatically as you drive across it. Geographers divide the state into four natural regions, areas that share similar landforms, elevation, and climate. From east to west, they are the Coastal Plains, the North Central Plains, the Great Plains, and the Mountains and Basins.
