	Geography of the Interior United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The head of the coastal plain embayment is near the junction of the Ohio and the Mississippi.
		Although the altitude of the plains increases gradually from 6oo or 1,200 ft. on the east to 4,000-5,000 or 6,000 feet near the mountains, the local relief is generally small.
		The Llano is separated from the plains on the north by the mature consequent valley of the Canadian River, and from the mountains on the west by the broad and probably mature valley of the Pecos River.

	Great Plains - MSN Encarta
		In Canada the plains are frequently known as the Interior Plains.
		The regularity of these rolling plains and lowlands is broken by the badlands of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Montana, North and South Dakota, and Nebraska.
		The largest metropolitan areas on the plains in the United States are Denver, Colorado (2,330,146 in 2004), San Antonio, Texas (1,854,050), and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (1,144,327).

		The Interior Plains is a vast region that spreads across the legs (craton) of North America.
		Throughout the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic eras the mostly low-lying Interior Plains region remained relatively unaffected by the mountain-building tectonic collisions suffered by the western and eastern margins of the continent.
		The Interior Plains continued to receive deposits from the eroding Rocky Mountains to the west and Appalachian and Ozark/Ouachita Mountains to the east and south throughout the most recent era, the Cenozoic.

		The Laurentian Highlands, the Interior Plains and the Interior Highlands lie between the two coasts, stretching from the Gulf of Mexico northward, far beyond the national boundary, to the Arctic Ocean.

		The boundary between the Great Plains and the interior plains is marked by a series of low escarpments that indicate the eastern edge of the mantle of loose sediments, eroded from the Rocky Mountains, that covers the plains.
		Nearly all of the interior lowland is drained by the Mississippi River or its tributaries.
		The southwestern quarter of Wisconsin and the adjoining 400-kilometer stretch of the Mississippi River valley were apparently spared by the barrier effect on the flowing ice of the Superior upland to the north and by the channeling of the ice by the deep valleys of Lakes Michigan and Superior.

	The GEOLOGIC STORY of the GREAT PLAINS
		These plains are bounded on the south by a region of Interior Highlands, consisting of the Ozark Plateaus and the Ouachita province, and by the Coastal Plain.
		The layers of sedimentary rock deposited in the inland sea were stripped from the crest of the rising mountainous belt by erosion and transported to its flanks as the gravel, sand, and mud of streams and rivers.
		A large central area of the plain is preserved, however, essentially untouched and unaffected by the streams, as a little-modified remnant of the depositional surface of 5 million years ago.

		Plains formation occurred throughout the period when visible craters were formed and most likely throughout the period of intense impact cratering (Malin, 1976b; Strom, 1977).
		The oldest and most extensive plains material in the Bach region, the intercrater plains material (unit pi), is characterized by a gently rolling surface and a high density of superposed craters less than 15 km in diameter.
		However, unlike plains material of the lunar uplands, no source basin is evident for the mercurian smooth and very smooth plains units within the imaged part of the Bach region.

		Lacustine plains (clayey lake deposits), kame deltas (sandy deposits), morainic features (coarser textured materials), meltwater channels (broad river valleys) and erratics (large boulders) are some of the features associated with wastage of the last large ice sheet that once covered this region.
		The flat plains area (lacustrine plain) has been intensively developed as farmland; the transition zone between the plains and the shield area has scattered farmlands, and the shield proper is not suited to agricultural production due to poor soil and/or drainage conditions.
		The Manitoba Plain (extending from the Shield in the east to the Manitoba Escarpment in the west) was the first to be colonized in the Interior Plains.

		The interior, referred to as the outback, is predominantly a series of great plains, or low plateaus, which are generally higher in the northeast.
		In the east the coastal plains are separated from the vast interior plains by the Great Dividing Range, or Eastern Highlands.
		The interior is relatively flat except for several eroded mountain chains, such as the Stuart Range and the Musgrave Ranges in the northern part of South Australia and the Macdonnell Ranges in the southern part of the Northern Territory.

		The Interior Plains are nearly coincident with the vast Mississippi River Drainage System (other major components are the Missouri and Ohio Rivers), as seen in this map.
		The scene is that of Cleveland (flish area on the shore), Lake Erie with partially melted ice in March of 1973, the widespread farmlands of northern Ohio and southern Ontario, and low hills and lakes (mostly from the last glacial retreat) near Akron.
		South of the glacial boundaries, the Interior Lowlands is a mix of farmlands and forests, in flat to rolling hill country.

		The plains appear to be divided into several stages by these cross ridges, which may have shut up the water of high floods in extensive lakes during the existence of which the deposits formed the surface of the present plains.
		On this principle the channel of the Lachlan, as soon as it enters the plains belonging to the basin of the Murrumbidgee, may be sought for on the northern skirts of these plains, although its floods may have been found to spread in different channels more directly towards the main stream.
		Oxley, the dwarf-box, but by the natives goborro, grows only on plains subject to inundation, and it usually bears on the lower part of the trunk the mark of the water by which it is at times surrounded.

		Agricultural settlers were to colonize the vast semi-arid region around Regina after the "better watered" areas of the parkland belt were either homesteaded or purchased.
		Pole fences are used to create corrals where the livestock are retained and fattened on a combination of hay (bales in background) and feed grains.
		Ukranian settlers were drawn to the parkland belt because of the mixed forest and grassland cover and fl chernozemic soils, similar to environmental characteristics of their native Ukraine.

		North Dakota lies within the Interior Plains, that vast region stretching from the Rocky Mountains to the Appalachians.
		In North Dakota, the Interior Plains are divided into two major physiographic provinces by the Missouri Escarpment.
		But this surface is greatly modified by landforms created by glacial ice, glacial lakes, and catastrophic floods of glacial meltwater, as well as by the relentless erosion by water and wind that created the buttes and badlands of the southwestern part of the state.

		Together, these two plains wrap around the southern end of the Appalachian Mountains, filling in an area that was underwater up until only 75 million years ago.
		The Coastal Plains were gradually built up by unconsolidated (and easily eroded) sediments washed out from the Appalachian Mountains, the Central Lowlands, and the Great Plains.
		The interior lowlands is covered largely by glacial debris laid down by meltwater and wind during the late Cenozoic Glaciation.

		ABSTRACT: Late Wisconsinan and early Holocene dunefields of the southern Interior Plains, Canada.
		Late Wisconsinan dune activity was investigated within the present-day parkland and boreal forest regions to extend our understanding of the spatial and temporal eolian record in the Canadian southern Interior Plains.
		Dune activity across the region terminated in a time-transgressive manner from the southwest, at about 12 ka, to the northeast, at about 9 ka, with the establishment of boreal forest vegetation and reduced wind strength.
