The Regions: The eastern United States has two primary geographic regions: the Coastal Lowlands and the Appalachian Highlands. Each region has three areas. The three areas of the Coastal Lowlands are:

  • The Atlantic Coastal Plain is very narrow in New England and broadens in the southern States.
  • The Gulf Coastal Plain stretches along the Gulf of Mexico from Florida to Texas.
  • The Piedmont is a rolling plain between the Atlantic Coastal Plain and the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The Appalachian Highlands run from the northern tip of Maine southwest through Alabama and form a natural boundary that defines the east coast region from the interior plain. It consists of many mountain ranges. Its three areas are:

  • The Blue Ridge Mountain area is a narrow band of mountains from Pennsylvania to Georgia.
  • The Ridge and Valley area to the west and north of the Blue Ridge Mountain Area.
  • The Appalachian Plateau to the west of the Ridge and Valley area and bordering the interior plain.

Climate: Most of the eastern United States has continental climate. However, the southern east coast has a sub-tropical climate and the southern part of Florida is tropical. The New England area has cold snowy winters and warm summers. Winters moderate a little in the Middle Atlantic Region and northern South Atlantic Region, but the summers are a little warmer. The southern coastal region has long hot, humid summers and mild winters.

Population: The east coast population is about 98 million, which is 37% of the total US population. It is a highly urban region with 75% of the population living in urban areas. Population density of the east coast is 84 people per square kilometer and the US population density is 28 people per square kilometer. A population shift is occurring from the more densely populated northeast and north central US to the west coast and the south.
