The Noth PAcific Coast.

The North Pacific Coast is described in the chapter as having dense forests, high mountains, and excellent harbors.  Mt. McKinley is the highest point in the area, reaching heights of about 20,327 feet.  This is the complete opposite of Miami.  Miami has no mountain ranges and is barely above sea level.

It also says that the major economy in the area is agriculture and forest products.  Unlike the North Pacific Coast, Miami's main source of income is tourism.  Over a million of Miami's labor force work outside of agricultural jobs.  The most Most jobs are in the fields of: trade, transportation and utilities, government, public schools, and manufacturing.
