The Climate:

The climate is humid continental is like our climate in Pennsylvania. They have hot summers and cold winters.

Terrain & Local Resources:

Parts of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin are all on the Great Lakes, which is a great resource for seafood. A lot of these states have rural areas, allowing more room for farming and fresh crops for the area. Another great resource is the Ozarks, which runs through Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. The Ozarks region is a great area for fishing and farming because it is filled with hills and lakes. A lot of the crops that we eat, like corn and wheat, come from this region because it is a rich place for growing crops. The soil is extremely rich, and the crops that come from this region are said to be some of the best vegetables grown in the United States.
