The three regions of Arizona By Raven Arizona became the 48th state on February 14th, 1912, Valentine’s Day. That is why it’s called the love state and the baby state. It is located in the southwest of the United States. There are many places to visit like the salt lake river, the Gila River, the Grand Canyon, and the Hoover dam. Arizona is divided I to three regions: desert, plateau, and mountains. The desert is the biggest region in Arizona. The many cities of the desert are: Phoenix (capital city), Tucson, Yuma, Nogales, Sierra Vista, and Kingman. Yeah I know a lot of cities. Arizona’s desert contains the homes of many species of plants and animals here are some: Palo Verde trees, mesquite trees, saguaro cactus (state flower),barrel cactus, prickly pear, cholla (don’t know how to pronounce, by the way.) coyote, javelin, bobcat, road runner, cactus wren ( state bird ), etc. the weather is hot and dry year round. The plateau region is located in the in the right hand corner of Arizona. In the southwest corner of the Colorado Plateau lies the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. Much of the Plateau's landscape is related, in both appearance and geologic history, to the Grand Canyon. The nickname "Red Rock Country" suggests the brightly colored rock left bare to the view by dryness and erosion. Domes, hoodoos, fins, reefs, goblins, river narrows, natural bridges, and slot canyons are only some of the additional features typical of the Plateau. Desert animals might be able to live in this region if they can cope with the weather which is windy and slightly less colder than the mountain region which I will talk about …… NOW! The mountain region is located in the middle of Arizona. The cities of the mountain regions are: Sedona and flagstaff. There is not a lot of life in this region so I could say all of them. Here they are! Bighorn sheep, pine tree bobcat blueberry bushes. Did I forget to tell Humphries peak the tallest mountain in Arizona is located in the mountain region? Well it seems as if I’ve given enough information so it looks like it’s the end. No I’m just kidding here the real one The End Again, kidding here it is: The End.
