What states are in the Interior Lowland region?

Answer 1

Interior Lowlands, the broad, generally flat areas of the central part of the North American continent. The name is used in regional geologic and physiographic descriptions of North America and the conterminous* United States. From the tectonic view, the continental Interior Lowlands are areas largely undisturbed by mountain building in past geologic time*. They extend from central Saskatchewan, in Canada, south to the rim of the Coastal Plain, a natural region in eastern Virginia, and are bounded by the Great Plains on the west, the Canadian Shield* on the north and east, and the Appalachian Mountains on the east.

* conterminous, sharing a common boundary, having the same area, context, or meaning

* geologic time, the extensive interval of time occupied by the Earth's geologic history. It extends

from about 3.9 billion years ago (corresponding to the age of the oldest known rocks) to the present day. It is, in effect, that segment of Earth history that is represented by and recorded in rock strata.

* Canadian Shield, one of the world's largest geologic continental shields, centred on Hudson Bay and extending for 8 million square km (3 million square miles) over eastern, central, and northwestern Canada from the Great Lakes to the Canadian Arctic and into Greenland, with small extensions into northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York, U.SBritannica Online Encyclopedia
