    The document provides information about the physical characteristics, landforms, climate, landmarks, cities, waterways, population, and economy of two regions in Texas: the Mountains and Basins region and the Coastal Plains region. It defines key landforms like basins, valleys, and plateaus. It notes that the Mountains and Basins region has a dry climate with little rainfall, and its economy relies on cotton farming, tourism at national parks, oil/gas extraction, and ranching along the Rio Grande River. In contrast, the Coastal Plains has a more humid climate and fertile soil that supports farming, ranching, technology, medicine, and oil/gas industries, and it contains major cities like Houston, Dallas, Austin
