North America

North America's topography is characterized by its diverse and dramatic landscapes, stretching from the towering Rocky Mountains in the west to the expansive Great Plains in the central region, and the rugged Appalachian Mountains in the east. The Rocky Mountains, which include peaks exceeding 20,000 feet (6,096 meters), create a formidable spine that bisects the continent and contributes to significant climatic variations across the region. East of the Rockies, the Great Plains—often referred to as the "Breadbasket of North America"—are marked by vast, flat expanses of fertile soil that are ideal for agriculture, ranging from rich grasslands to rolling hills. This area is dotted with numerous rivers, including the Mississippi, which is one of the longest river systems in the world, playing a crucial role in the continent’s drainage and ecosystem. In the northeastern part of North America, the Appalachian Mountains are notable for their ancient, eroded peaks and deep valleys, while the Atlantic Coastal Plain features low-lying wetlands and sandy beaches that support diverse ecosystems. Further north, the Canadian Shield presents a rugged, rocky terrain interspersed with countless lakes formed by glacial activity, illustrating the continent's geological history.
