  2. Whatisorography? • Orography is the study of the formation and relief of mountains, and can more broadly include hills, and any part of a region's elevated terrain. Orography falls within the broader discipline of geomorphology.

  3. Orography of Nuevo León • The Huasteca region is made up of a series of parallel sierras and valleys, which reach up onto the Coahuila state limits. Its orography consists of a variety of mountains of quite different morphological characteristics and of heights above 2000 or even 3000 masl; impressive canyons of sheer vertical walls, carved by the tremendous power of rivers apparently dormant; forested dales which run between the slopes, hide unexplored caves, and serve as passageways between valleys.

  4. The Huasteca region can be divided in three main areas: • Northwesternarea: Cañones San Pablo, La Escalera, El Montoso, Peyotillos, El Tule, Las Escaleras. • Central area: Cañones La Huasteca, Ballesteros, San Judas, La Sandía, Salazar. • Southeastern area: Cañón San Cristóbal, Cañón San Pablo

  5. Mountains • The Sierra Madre Oriental crosses the state from northwest to southeast and creates a temperate zone forest. Monterrey is surrounded by these mountains, Cerro de Topo Chico and Cerro de la Silla, so it is sometimes called the "city of the mountains."

  6. Inclination • The north and east part of the state is flat and forms part of the Plains of North America. South of this plain to the Sierra Madre Oriental the field is more tending and is part of the Northern Gulf Coastal Plain. The south of Nuevo León is part of the Mexican plateau. • The highest header in the county is Dr. Arroyo, 720 m, and the lowest is Los Aldamas at 90 meters. Monterrey is 540 meters.

  7. Mostimportantmountains • According to the geological constitution, the state is dominated by sedimentary formations of marine origin. Just northeast of the town of Galeana, in the Sierra Madre and in some northern elevations have found small outcrops of metamorphic rocks and some igneous intrusive. Its soil is of the Mesozoic era.

  8. The most famous in Nuevo Leon, The Sierra Madre Oriental, covers the state of Nuevo Leon, in its first part, the city of Galeana 527.490 square kilometers. • The Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range is 900 meters of altitude of 1.600 meters. In Iguana, Sabinas, Santa Clara with 1,500; Picachos and parrots, which forms a single mountain range that runs from Mops up to Cerralvo, and The Ramones from northeast to southeast, parallel to these, are the Milpillas and the ones with more than 2,000 meters above sea level in the center is the Cerro de lasMitras and La Silla, with 2,000 and 1.782 meters high.
