Description
Arizona, USA, satellite image. North is at top. Vegetation is green, and the colours of the land vary from grey to light brown. Arizona is a state in the south-western USA, and is about 550 kilometres across at its widest point. There are three main geographical regions. In the north of the state is part of the Colorado Plateau, a flat, dry, semi-desert region. The Grand Canyon (upper left) and Monument Valley (upper right) are in this area. Across the centre of the state are the mountains (green) of the Central Highlands region. To the south is the Sonoran Desert (lower left) in Arizona's Basin and Range region. Most of the state's western border is the Colorado River.
