	World Almanac for Kids
		MONTANA, one of the Mountain states of the U.S., bounded on the N by the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan; on the E by North Dakota and South Dakota; on the S by Wyoming and Idaho; and on the W by Idaho.
		Montana contains parts of two major U.S. physiographic regions: the Rocky Mts., which occupy the W third of the state, and the Great Plains in the E. Water and glacial ice have carved Montana’s mountain landscape; in the S, the mountain profiles are subdued, but at the Canadian border is a scenic, angular, alpine landscape.
		The Continental Divide is a sharp climatic boundary between the modified N Pacific maritime climate in a narrow strip of territory to the W and the cold continental climate of the E part of the state.
