It has noticeable features like sandy beaches, marshes, estuaries, etc. Since, it has favorable geographic region and weather system, it provides home to various species of flora and fauna, which ultimately makes it a biodiversity hotspot.
Geographic Regions of the Eastern U.S The Coastal Plain is an expansive geophysical province that extends from southern New Jersey along the Atlantic coast through the coast of the Gulf of Mexico to southeastern Texas (Figure 3.1), with cropland comprising about 15% of the total land area in...
The main features of coastal plains include low elevation, a geologic border with inland areas, an ocean on one side, and fertile soil. What is a Coastal Plain? As its name suggests, acoastal plainis a geographic area along the ocean. It is flat and low-lying, and other landforms typica...

Geographic features, most notably mountains and large bodies of water (e.g., lakes and oceans), also affect weather. Recent research, for example, has revealed that ocean-surface temperature anomalies are a potential cause of atmospheric temperature anomalies in successive seasons and at distant ...

The floristic composition analysis of the Sicilian halophilous vegetation highlights, in fact, phytogeographic differences between the central Mediterranean area, with a xeric climate, and the northern Mediterranean, influenced by a temperate climate. In Sicily, several taxa related to an arid climate ...
Brown and Sieg (1999) demonstrated that variability in fires over time resulted in a shift in the ponderosa pine-Great Plains prairie ecotone in South Dakota, USA. With a decrease in fire frequency, the pines invaded the prairie. As a last example, Boughton et al. (2006) found that ...
Finally, the identified deformation regions were converted into an external reference framework, i.e., geographical coordinates. The resulting ground displacement map and geology map overlay and loaded into Geographic Information System (GIS) for further investigation. The GIS study included combining PS...
