Answer:

100th meridian is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hundredth meridian was drawn by American geologist and explorer John Wesley Powell and was meant as the boundary line between the arid west plains and humid eastern united states. It passes through Texas, Mexico, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, Dakotas and the Canadian province of Manitoba. Powell is famous for his exploration of Grand Canyon and Western plains. He was aware of the harsh conditions of the region and tried to convince the congress to lay out water and land management districts to deal with environmental constraints.
