The states west of the Mississippi are generally much larger than those to the east. For example, Texas and Alaska are two of the largest states in the country. The region spans a wide variety of landscapes, from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Plains, deserts, and coastal areas. This variety makes these states geographically diverse, with climates ranging from arid deserts (like Nevada and Arizona) to humid coastal regions (such as parts of California) and alpine conditions in the mountains.
