Oklahoma was the 46th state to enter the union. It entered the union in 1907. Currently 3.94 million people call Oklahoma home. It is my state also. Let me share interesting facts. Economics of a state include the ways that the state and people make money. Oklahoma industries include the oil and wind energy. Agriculture is an important industry making about $2 billion each year.
Oklahoma’s energy mostly comes from their natural gas and wind energy. Wind turbines are now more popular than oil. They are a renewable source of energy. Devon Energy Center is Oklahoma’s energy center. This energy center is the 49th tallest building in the U.S.A
The climate of southern and eastern Oklahoma is humid subtropical. Oklahoma has many tornadoes. That is why Oklahoma is known as tornado alley.
Oklahoma has many state symbols. The state rock is formed by barite rock crystals and looks like a rose. It is called rose rock. The state animal is an American bison. The state bird is scissor-tailed flycatcher. It can be seen on the state quarter!
You should visit Oklahoma because there are many things to see. You will see wind turbines and oil pumps. Maybe you could find a rose rock while you walk. Hopefully you don’t see tornadoes though!
