Welcome to Georgia!!!! By: Jasmine Smith

Georgia is on your mind.... Known as the Peach State because georgia produces plentiful peaches Capital of Georgia is Atlanta Bordering states are: Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina. Population (2012) 9,921,585 Fun fact: Georgia is the 24th largest state in the USA

Georgia has 5 habitats. Each habitat is unique in its own way: A habitat is a natural home or environment for organisms (plants and animals). Georgia has 5 habitats. Each habitat is unique in its own way: Mountains Marsh/Swamps Coastal Plains Piedmont Atlantic Ocean/Coast

Piedmont I live in this habitat. It is also where our capital, Atlanta is located. red clay very hilly Plants: pine trees, oak trees, hickory trees Animals: Opossums, squirrels, ducks, owls

Plants: seaweed, seagrass Animals: Shrimp, tarpon, redfish, sea trout

Swamps and Marshes The Okefenokee Swamp lies in this habitat. It is located in the southeastern part of Georgia. A swamp is an area of land covered in still or slow-moving water, with plants growing in and around it.

Where would I live? I think you should live in the Coastal habitat. I like the coast because it is close to a beach. I like Jekyll Island also. This is an island located in this habitat too. I think this habitat will be a great transition for you and your family. It is also not that far from Florida.
