Warm Up: 08/01/2012 Set up a new notes page for Cornell Notes and Put this information at the top of the page: Today’s Standard: SS8G1b Enduring Understanding: Georgia’s physical features and location make it unique among other states in the US. Essential Question: How would you describe the geographic regions in Georgia?

Georgia’s Geographic Regions SS8G1b

Georgia’s Geographic Regions: Main Idea/Question: Notes: What are the 5 Geographic Regions of Georgia? Appalachian Plateau Region Ridge and Valley Region Blue Ridge Region Piedmont Plateau Region Coastal Plain Region

Georgia’s Geographic Regions:

Georgia’s Geographic Regions: Main Idea/Question: Notes: Appalachian Plateau Region The Appalachian Plateau Region is Georgia’s smallest physiographic region It has many limestone caves, deep canyons, rock formations It is the home of the Cumberland Plateau (Lookout Mountain and Sand Mountain separated by limestone ridges) In this region you can find rich deposits of limestone, shale, and sandstone soils

Georgia’s Geographic Regions: Main Idea/Question: Notes: Ridge and Valley Region The Ridge and Valley Region is between Blue Ridge Mountains and the Appalachian Plateau It has low open valleys parallel to narrow ridges The Elevation in this region ranges from 700 to 1600 feet above sea level Forests and pastures dominate the region Limestone and clay soils are found in the valley Shale and sandstone on the ridges

Georgia’s Geographic Regions: Main Idea/Question: Notes: Blue Ridge Region The Blue Ridge Region is located in the northeastern part of the state This region contains state’s highest and largest group of mountains Brasstown Bald, Georgia highest mountain is here Mountains provide much precipitation (water) for the state Sandy loam and clay soils are found here The region supplies Georgia with hardwood forests, vegetable farming, and apples

Georgia’s Geographic Regions: Main Idea/Question: Notes: Piedmont Plateau Region The Piedmont Plateau Region begins in mountain foothills of Georgia and goes to state’s central part It is know for its gently sloping hills in north, flatlands in the south Hardwood timber, pine, and agriculture are the major economic products in this region Red clay and granite base are found here This region is also home to the Chattahoochee, Flint, Ocmulgee, and Oconee rivers

Georgia’s Geographic Regions: Main Idea/Question: Notes: Coastal Plains Region The Coastal Plains Region is largest region in Georgia, it makes up three-fifths of state The region is divided into two sub-regions the Inner Coastal Plain and Outer Coastal Plain Inner Coastal Plain: has a mild climate, a good underground water supply, and is the state’s major agricultural region Outer Coastal Plain (southwest corner): has rich soil for peanuts, pecans, corn, and pulp production This region is the home of low-lying freshwater wetlands like the Okefenokee Swamp
