Which Texas region is described as high and flat with minerals like limestone and granite?

• A. Central Plains of Texas
• B. Gulf Coastal Plains of Texas
• C. Mountains and Basins of Texas
• D. Coastal Zone of Texas

Answer: (A)

The description fits the Central Plains of Texas. This region sits in the north-central part of the state on the Great Plains, so the land is broad, flat, and at a higher elevation than the coastal areas. Geologically, you’ll find limestone from ancient seas and granite exposed in places like the Llano Uplift within this region, giving it mineral resources such as limestone and granite. The Gulf Coastal Plains are near the coast and are low, not high and flat; Mountains and Basins are far to the west with rugged terrain, and the Coastal Zone refers to coastal areas along the Gulf.
