The geography of Texas form a wide and far reaching scope. Occupying about 7% of the total water and land area of the U.S., it is the second largest state after Alaska, and is the southernmost part of the Great Plains, which end in the south against the folded Sierra Madre Oriental of Mexico. Texas is in the south-central part of the United States of America, and is considered to form part of the U.S. South and also part of the U.S. Southwest. By residents, the state is generally divided into North Texas, East Texas, Central Texas, South Texas, West Texas (and sometimes the Panhandle), but according to the Texas Almanac, Texas has four major physical regions: Gulf Coastal Plains, Interior Lowlands, Great Plains, and Basin and Range Province. This has been cited as the difference between human geography and physical geography, although the fact that Texas was granted (and retains to this day) the prerogative to divide into as many as five U.S. states may be a historical motive for Texans defining their state as containing exactly five regions. Some regions in Texas are more associated with the South than the Southwest (primarily East Texas, Central Texas, and North Texas), while other regions share more similarities with the Southwest (primarily far West Texas and South Texas). The upper Panhandle is considered by many to have more in common with parts of the plains Midwest than either the South or Southwest. The size of Texas prohibits easy categorization of the entire state wholly in any recognized region of the United States; geographic, economic, and even cultural diversity between regions of the state preclude treating Texas as a region in its own right.

OK can be included, as well as southern parts of MO, KY, and WV. Favorites: 1. Texas. It speaks for itself; I'd love to live there. Most people there don't talk with twangs and wear cowboy hats, contrary to popular belief. The people are the most charitable and welcoming I've ever met. The arts, variety of cultures, history, diversity of geography: Texas has it all! 2. Mississippi: The sweet smell of southern pines on a crisp, foggy morning. It's truly a beautiful place! 3. Tennessee: Much like Mississippi, but with more diversity in its geography. Memphis and Nashville are awesome! 4. N. Carolina: Gorgeous scenery, good economy 5. Alabama: Same reason as MS; still pretty, but… [cont.] Asked by webcoky - Sat Sep 9 21:57:31 2006 - - 13 Answers - 2 Comments A.
