Great Plains

The Great Plains is a vast region in North America, stretching from Canada through the United States to Mexico. It is characterized by flat, grassy landscapes and is known for agriculture, particularly wheat and cattle farming. The area experiences extreme weather, with hot summers and cold winters. Historically, it was home to Indigenous peoples and later became significant for settlers and the expansion of the American frontier. The Great Plains also support diverse ecosystems and wildlife, making it an important area for both agriculture and conservation.
