The United States covers a vast area of North America and contains a wide variety of landscapes. Major mountain systems, broad plains, deserts, river valleys, lakes, and coastal regions divide the country into distinct physical regions.

Mountain ranges such as the Appalachians, Rocky Mountains, Cascades, Sierra Nevada, and Coast Ranges extend across different parts of the country. Between and around these mountains lie large regions such as the Great Plains, Great Basin, and Gulf Coastal Plain.

Water is another important part of US geography. The Mississippi River forms the backbone of a vast drainage system, while the Rio Grande marks part of the border with Mexico. The five Great Lakes form one of the world's largest freshwater systems, and the country has extensive coastlines along the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Gulf of Mexico.

This quiz covers major physical features of the United States as well as neighboring Canada and Mexico. Learning their locations provides a useful overview of the country's physical geography and its position within North America.
