Match the names with the places on the North American map.

Let’s match the names to the places on the map.

First, look at the symbols and locations:

- The star is on the big icy island in the northeast → that’s Greenland.
- The hexagon around the five large lakes in the north-central US/Canada → that’s the Great Lakes.
- The long line of triangles along the west coast, from Alaska down through Canada and into the US → that’s the Rocky Mountains.
- The shorter line of triangles further west, near California → that’s the Sierra Nevada.
- The line of triangles on the east coast → that’s the Appalachian Mountains.
- The single triangle in Alaska → that’s Mount Denali (the highest peak in North America).
- The river flowing from the north-central US toward Mexico → that’s the Missouri River (it joins the Mississippi).
- The river in the southwest US → that’s the Colorado River (flows through Grand Canyon to Gulf of California).
- The large body of water south of the US → that’s the Gulf of Mexico.

Now let’s pair them correctly:

✔ COLORADO RIVER → Southwest US river
✔ GREAT LAKES → Hexagon around the lakes
✔ APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS → East coast mountain range (triangles)
✔ SIERRA NEVADA → Western mountains near California (triangles)
✔ GULF OF MEXICO → Southern ocean area
✔ MOUNT DENALI → Single triangle in Alaska
✔ GREENLAND → Star on the big island
✔ ROCKY MOUNTAINS → Long mountain chain across western North America
✔ MISSOURI RIVER → River flowing southeast from northern plains

Final Answer:
COLORADO RIVER – Southwest river
GREAT LAKES – Hexagon area
APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS – East coast triangles
SIERRA NEVADA – West coast triangles (California)
GULF OF MEXICO – South of US
MOUNT DENALI – Triangle in Alaska
GREENLAND – Starred island
ROCKY MOUNTAINS – Long western mountain chain
MISSOURI RIVER – Northern plains river
