If we start to travel from the Mississippi River westwards to the Pacific Coast, than the starting point is a lowland, vast one, as we continue to go towards the west we will encounter high mountains, the Rocky Mountains more specifically, and the elevation will go up to 4,400 meters above sea level, than we will go down, elevation wise, to the high plateaus and will be on elevations between 1,000 and 2,000 meters, and after we go up again to almost 4,400 meters as we cross the Cascade Mountains. After the Cascades we go gradually downwards towards the lowlands, where we will first go a bit bellow sea level, and than little up in the lowlands along the Pacific Coast, and at the end reach a point of zero elevation.

North Africa became a key region during World War II for a simple reason. Both, the Allied forces and the Axis powers wanted to control the Suex Canal for transportation purposes. It was a strategic point for accessing the oil in the Middle East. Modern armies required oil for the maintenance of the machines and vehicles, that is why oil from the Middle East was so important. So both, the Axis and the Allied powers wanted to control North Africa because they wanted control over natural resources, and gaining command of oil supplies was important.
