The 2 regions of Texas I am discussing are the Coastal Plains and Great Plains. In the Coastal Plains Region of Texas, there are natural resources, such as fertile soil and abundant rainfall, which support agriculture and fishing. Many people who live here have jobs in farming, fishing, and tourism due to the region's access to the Gulf of Mexico and its lush vegetation. In contrast, the Great Plains Region has vast grasslands and is more arid, leading to natural resources like cattle ranching and oil deposits. Consequently, many residents here work in ranching, oil extraction, and agriculture, reflecting the region's open land and resource availability.
