二、气候条件

Pennsylvania, located in the northeast of the US in the Great Lakes region,

is the sixth most populated US state, with a GDP equivalent to

Indonesia.Nicknamed the Keystone State for its proximity to numerous regions,

Pennsylvania is bordered in the north by Lake Erie, across which lies Canada,

and to the south by the Mason-Dixie line which traditionally marks the beginning

of America’s southern regions. Also in the east lies the cultural capital of New

York and, in the west, the states of Ohio and West

Virginia.Although

geography is varied. Spanning incredibly diverse terrain, including rivers,

coasts and plateaus, Pennsylvania also plays host to a large section of the

Appalachian Mountains, which run straight through its center, linking the state

to the Canadian province of Newfoundland. Other natural forests and mountain

areas include the Poconos region and the Allegheny National Forest.
