Top three most populated cities1.Chicago, Illinois2. Indianapolis, Indiana3.Columbus, Ohio

The region of the Midwest is located to the west of the Northeast and to the east of the West region.

The longitude and latitude of Chicago, Illinois are 41˚N and 87˚W.

People live in the region of the Midwest because they have good industries there and they have good plans on how to treat the environment.

Anywhere between 19%-29% of the people who live in the Midwest are Catholic. Other religions include Lutheran, Baptist, and some don’t have a religion

Major resources include the Great Lakes.

The Great Lakes

The effect of the weather on Midwest region is where some of them are living. There are parts in the near north that are deserted by the cold weather.

Also certain people don’t live in the Midwest because of the cold weather, since some only like to live in warm climates.

The economic issues in the Midwest mainly deal with money. The people have a hard time paying taxes sometimes, as do other regions. This however is one of the better ones, it is more stable.

It has affected the settlement of the Midwest because the region has some random spots of places where there is no spots of land. I also feel that part of the reason that there is no land is because of peoples jobs that include farming and different things.

People in the Midwest think highly of the pollution problem. They use recyclable materials and treat land like their friends.

The lakes and rivers are not very polluted, but people work on cleaning them up everyday.

People have chosen to live in the Midwest because of the places of land, economy, and jobs.

A lot of goods are moved throughout the Midwest by trucks. Also things are shipped in by planes, or boats on the Great Lakes.

There are traditions that we follow such as hunting and fishing.

Since one of the major transportation routes are the Great Lakes, if they are interrupted then the whole manufacturing system of the Midwest would be messed up.

Major tourist attractions of the Midwest Include the Great Lakes, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Children's museum of Indianapolis, The Wisconsin Dells, and the Miller Brewing Company.

Other unique characteristics in the Midwest would be how there is a lot of farming.
