In general terms, the continental United States is dissected by a vast central plain (the Great Plains), while the massive Rocky Mountain system and many other mountains ranges and hills cover much of the west.

The lower Appalachian Mountains and its assorted ranges front a broad coastal plain that stretches from the far-northeast to the southern Texas coastline on the Gulf of Mexico.
