The North Pacific Coast

The Physical Environment
The North Pacific is a very unique portion of the United States due to it's physical environment and the regions isolation from the rest of the regions around it. The coastline is a feature found in the Pacific Northwest which is a very rocky, coastlines with a lot of cliffs. It is a very mountanous region with a really rough environment, and because of this environment it makes a very rainy and wet region.

Climate
This region of the North Pacific is a very wet region, where the precipitation avarage is around 75 inches. The precipitation can increase as well if they are found close to certain side of the mountains.

Agriculture
The agriculture in this region is similar to that of the east coast .This regions agriculture is kept most only for their own consumption because of their isolation to any other region.

Forest
The high elevations and mountanous environment found in the North Pacific Coast is a result of a lot of forest areas in the region. Here some of the most exotic giant trees are found due to the high precipitation , meaning that lumber is one of the economic factors in the region.
