Unit 1: Indiana's Land and People
~ Summary

Many of Indiana's landforms are the result of glaciers that moved across the region during the last Ice Age. The state's landscape can be divided into three regions: the Northern Lakes and Moraines, the Central Till Plains, and the Southern Lowlands. Hoosiers enjoy all four seasons. In northern Indiana, the lake effect from Lake Michigan produces heavy snowfall in the winter and cool temperatures in the summer.

Indiana is rich in natural resources. Coal, natural gas, petroleum, oil, and limestone support our state's economy. The Central Till Plains provides Indiana farmers with fertile soil to grow corn and other products. Agriculture, along with manufacturing and mining, are important to our state's economy.

More than 6 million people live in Indiana. Many Hoosiers can trace their roots to Europe, Africa, Asia, or Latin America. These various cultural groups make Indiana a diverse state. As citizens of Indiana, Hoosiers also share a common heritage through celebrations and sporting events.
