Geography of Texas

Because Texas is such a large state, it has a highly varied topography. The state has ten climatic regions and 11 different ecological regions. The topography types vary from mountainous to forested hill country to coast plains and prairies in the interior. Texas also has 3,700 streams and 15 major rivers but there are no large natural lakes in the state. This information is from http://geography.about.com/od/unitedstatesofamerica/a/texasgeography.htm
