shallow -little soil deep – fertile soil lots of soil

The MOST shallow soil deep soil Narrow Valleys Waterfalls Brasstown Bald is the highest point.

High, flat tops Lookout Mountain Sandy soil fossils

Most populated Region- covers 1/3 of state Rolling hills Atlanta – State Capitol Means the “foot of the mountain” poor clay soil warm, wet climate many rivers and streams

Marshes, Bogs, and Swamps where water covers the soil Largest region Freshwater rivers meet salt water oceans Plants and soil soak up water like a sponge. Wetlands filter water to clean it and take in extra water to prevent flooding. Special adaptations to survive in the water Plants have strong roots, some leaves have air pockets to help them float. Animals adapt to breathe under water, have special protection, dig in sand
