2. In which state in the United States can you find all of the following climates: arid, semiarid, Mediterranean, highlands, and marine west coast?
3. Which resource is most abundant in Texas, Alaska, and Alberta? Which state or province appears to have the most of that resource?

6. What types of land use occur along both the Pacific Coast and the Atlantic Coast of Canada and the United States?
7. Which five lakes together make up the largest body of fresh water in Canada and the United States?
8. California is the most populated state in this region. Nunavut is the least populated. How do climate and economic activity help explain why this is the case?
9. Name three states, provinces, or territories that produce more hydroelectric power than other places in the region. What physical feature in these places might help explain why hydroelectric power is a resource there?
10. A farmer grows sugarcane, a crop that does well only in a humid subtropical climate with other tropical grassland vegetation. In his free time, he loves to go sailing on the ocean year-round. His farm is near a densely populated city that lies on a very large river. Where does the farmer live? Why do you think so?
