8) According to Figure 2-4, the highest elevation in North America lies within this physiographic province:

A physiographic map of North America shows an inset which illustrates a cross-sectional topographic profile along 40 degrees North latitude. This inset shows distance in miles along the horizontal axis, ranging from 0 to 3500 miles, and height in feet along the vertical axis, ranging from 0 to 10,000 feet, in increments of 5000 feet. The cross-sectional profile illustrates that the United States and Canada east of the Great Plains is largely flat lowlands well under 2500 feet of elevation, except for the Appalachian Highlands, which average approximately 2500 feet. West of the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains average mostly over 5000 feet above sea level, with small areas exceeding 7500 feet. The Pacific mountain chains and the Intermontaine plateaus also represent higher-elevation landforms, averaging between 2500 and 5000 feet above sea level, with a great deal more relief than the Appalachian Mountains of the east. The main map reflects these patterns of elevation and relief, as the map is dominated by the Interior Lowlands of the central United States and mid-western Canada, the Canadian Shield that makes up most of eastern and northern Canada, and the Coastal Plains along the Arctic Ocean, Hudson Bay, Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic coast of the southeastern United States. These low-elevation and low-relief landforms make up the majority of the physical landscape of North America. The higher-elevation terrain is defined by the Appalachian Highlands that extend from Newfoundland in northeast Canada to northeast Alabama, the Rocky Mountains that extend from Alaska through Canada’s Yukon Territory and British Columbia, through Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and into Colorado, the Pacific mountain ranges that largely parallel the Pacific coast from Alaska through British Columbia, Washington state, and Oregon to California, and the Intermontaine basins and plateaus between the Rockies and the Pacific ranges.

a) Pacific Mountains and Valleys

b) Intermontane Valleys and Plateaus

c) Rocky Mountains
