Atlantic coastal plain
From New York to Florida and up to the Mexican boundary continues to extend 200 km of broad land strips. Large bays such as Delaware Bay, Chespeake Bay, VA + MD, Albemarle sound, SC, Tampa Bay,flat steel bar, (Galveston Bay) are evenly as typical as long sand beaches and washing landscapes (Everglades, flat steel bar).
Toward the west a low mountain range becomes from the level, as those is enough for approximately 2,600 km and partly over 2.000 m high mountain range of the Apalaches, which reach Adirondack Mountains (Federal State New York) in the north, high of that 1,600 m, up to the Great Smokey Mountains (threshing floor lake) in the south

Rocky Mountains
From Alaska over Canada and the west of USA (Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico) to Mexico the " rock mountains " extend. Here it goes over into the Cordillieres of the South American mainland and forms so the enormous rock backs for that the American continent pulls through. In the North American area the rock comb stretches partly on a width of 1.500 km. East the Rockys stretch the Great Plains, in the west borders the Great Basin and the Columbia plateau. Highest collections are the 6,193 m high Mount McKinley in Alaska and the 4,396 m high Mount Elbert in Colorado.

From Seattle to San Diego along the Pacific coast runs the Pacific Mountains. Between them the Great Valley, 600 km long, is limited to the coast of the Coast rank high up to 2.700 m
Great Valley
Great Plains
The prairie area between central lowlandses and the Rocky Mountains and the Canadian and Mexican boundary is approximately 500 km broad. From an average height of 500 m it rises with the Rockys up to 1500 m.
Great Plains Session
