CHARACTERISTICS OF THE

ROCKY MOUNTAINS REGION

NORTH AMERICA REALM B12

Although the rain-shadow effect leaves much of this region arid, and the

mountainous terrain is not good for agriculture, the region does have its

minerals and metals as natural resources to keep industry a part of the

economy. This is also the home to the Continental Divide.
