The Midwestern Central Lowland can best be seen and described as flat. However, there are many dynamic details of that flat lowland. Lakes, rivers, trees, rolling hills, glaciers, grass, dairy, corn, and rust are just some of the variety the Midwest offers. Los Angeles is fairly flat as well and also has many details, but none like the Midwest. Los Angeles has a lot of concrete, trash, smog, people, and cars. There is a lot of organic nature, rather than made made and planted foliage. Both are beautiful in there own ways. Industrial development in relation to the landscape has butt heads. Like much of Los Angeles, due to development of industry, there is destruction of the environment. Still, a lot of green can be seen in the Midwest.
Climate
The climate in the Midwest fluctuates a lot more than it does in LA. This is because the land both gains and loses warmth more quickly than water. Due to the flat land, there aren't many natural barriers allowing winds to blow freely. The Midwest, unlike LA, has four seasons. Short, dramatic spring and fall lead to long, hot, humid summer. The winters seem endless and cold. Los Angeles seems to have summer and spring all year long.
