Products and Natural Resources of the West
Objective: summarize the variety of resources in the West Region of the U.S.
Resources & Industries
Agriculture
Agriculture is the main source of
income for some areas in the West. Livestock: animals that are raised
on farms and ranches. Beef cattle, sheep (wool), and milk are produced in the West. The West is known for its wealthy supply of mineral resources such as oil, coal, lead, silver, gold, and copper. Many of these minerals are found in the Rocky Mountains. The West is the center of the timber industry. Much of the wood products used in the U.S. come from the West (lumber, cardboard, paper, books). Since wood is a valuable resource, timber companies will reforest trees.
