GEORGIA REGIONS

Geographic Regions of Georgia -- Appalachian Plateau -- Ridge and Valley -- Blue Ridge Region -- Piedmont Plateau -- Coastal Plain Region

Vocabulary estuary salt marshes barrier islands Fall Line Okefenokee Swamp

Coastal Plain Region Largest region, three-fifths of state In prehistoric times, this area was completely covered by ocean Freshwater wetlands - Okefenokee Swamp located in this region. Grows pine along the coast and further inland is famous for peanuts, peaches, and pecans

Coastal Plains

Georgia’s Coast Georgia’s coast is in the eastern Coastal Plains region The coast consists of swamps, rivers, salt marshes, estuaries, and islands Salt Marshes – wetlands covered by salt water all or most of the time that form a unique ecosystem Estuary - the area around the river’s mouth where fresh and salt water mix Barrier Islands - a chain of islands that form a wall blocking waves and wind from directly hitting the mainland. St. Simons and Tybee are two of the Georgia barrier islands.

Golden Isles

Okefenokee Swamp Located in Ware County near the Florida border. Locate on your map. Largest freshwater wetland in Georgia. Home to a wide variety of wildlife including alligators, black bears, wildcats, venomous snakes.

Fall Line Fall Line - boundary between the Coastal Plain and Piedmont regions Fall Line marks the prehistoric ocean shoreline Rivers pick up speed as they “fall” through this region and waterfalls are formed Settlements and industry developed along the Fall Line because swift rivers and waterfalls offered a source of power

Piedmont Region Consists of rolling hills with many valleys Red clay and granite base make up this region. Georgia is the largest source of granite in the U.S Most heavily populated region of GA (Atlanta in this region) Rivers in this region are fast moving with rapids and water falls Farms growing cotton, soybeans, wheat, chicken, cows are in this region

Piedmont Chattahoochee River

Blue Ridge Region Located in the Northeastern corner of Georgia Brasstown Bald - highest point in Georgia is in this region Appalachian Trail begins here and ends in Maine Largest amounts of rainfall in the state are in this region Apples are the main crop Chattahoochee and Savannah Rivers start here

Blue Ridge Region Tallulah Gorge Amicalola Falls Brasstown Bald

Ridge and Valley Region Long parallel ridges overlooking wide fertile valleys Sandstone ridges are forest covered and the valleys are used for farming and pasture Region is known for the carpet industry

Ridge and Valley

Appalachian Plateau Georgia’s smallest region located in the northwestern corner of the state A plateau is flat or sloping elevated land with surrounding valleys Lookout Mountain and Cloudland Canyon are here. Georgia’s only source of coal is in this region.
