** Topography: **
The Interior Plains take up the region between the Shield on the east, and the mountains of the Cordilleran Region on the west. The Horton and Anderson Plains form the Arctic slope, in the north. The Peel Plain that lies southwest of the Mackenzie River, has a broad, shallow hollow in which some areas have many small lakes and others have none. The Great Bear Plain located around Great Bear Lake, has a rolling surface. In the centre of the Interior Plains, the Alberta plateau consists of a ring of plateaus seperated by wide valleys.Fort Nelson and Peace River lowlands occupy more than 50 per cent of the area. The Alberta Plain, South of the Athabasca River, stretches southeastward to the Canada-United States boundary. The Alberta Plateau has more of an even surface, with a few widely separated groups of low hills, such as Cypress Hills in the south. The Cypress Hills reach an elevation of more than 1400 metres. The Alberta Plain is more rough and on higher ground than the Saskatchewan Plain. The Saskatchewan Plain is bordered by the manitoba Escarpment, overlooking the Manitoba Plain. The Manitoba Plain is divided into a line of seperate hills, from the deep valleys flowing eastward.

** Vegetation: **
It is covered with different kinds of grasses with long roots, like the blue stem, porcupine grass, june grass, and fir trees. All this vegetation grows here because farmers grow oats barley and many other things.



Climate: The climate is always different throughout the year. Summers could be from 10 and 30 degrees Celsius. Winters are actually pretty cold. It could be from negative 10 and 30 degrees. Another interesting fact is that people say there is more sunshine there than any other region in Canada.

How it's useful: Farmers like it there because there are big plots of land to grow things and there is just the right amount of water and sunlight. there are plenty of jobs like forestry and farming, and there are also sporting events and other opportunites for jobs. interesting things: Some of the animals that live in the interior plains are Mule deer, brown bears, elks, moose, and wolves

 * Represent the region in the following ways: (13/20)
 * Topography
 * Vegetation
 * Climate
 * Resources???
 * Important Cities What attractions are in each city? Why should people visit?
 * Things to Do Lots of examples but not very specific. Randomly introduced with no reference to where...
 * Provide at least one **//map//** of your region. (4/5) Map does not reflect region as a part of all of North America
 * Find appropriate **//images//** that represent various characteristics of your region. (4/10) 2 images to show off your region? What about the vegetation, the cities, the topography, etc.)
 * Make sure images are accompanied by **//captions//**.
 * Use //**climographs**// of areas in your region and //**explain**// how they illustrate the climate conditions. (2/5) Vancouver is not in the Plains. You needed to explain how the climographs demonstrates the climate in your region.
 * Explain how various aspects of the region will influence people visiting this land. (0/5)
 * Cite your Resources using the appropriate format. (4/5)

The very first thing I see on the website is a climograph of Vancouver (which is not even in your region). The title could even be more impactful to welcome visitors to your site. You are missing some key components and the webpage could definitely use some organization.
