Georgia is a large state. It is located in the Southeastern United States. Georgia is divided into different regions. The regions are the Mountains, the Peidmont, and the Coastal Plains. The Mountains are located in the northern part of Georgia. The Appalachian Mountains are located in the northwestern part of the state. The Blue Ridge Mountains are located in the northeastern part of the state. Pine trees grow in North Georgia. Cotton, grains, and fruits are grown in the northern part of the state. Animals that are found in the Mountain region are fox, possums, and black bears. The Peidmont is located in the middle part of Georgia. It begins just where the Mountain region stops. Peidmont means “at the foot of the mountain.” That’s because it is located at the bottom of the Mountain region. Hills are found in the Peidmont area. Wheat and rye are grown in the Peidmont area. The land drops at the end of the Peidmont area. This area is called the Fall Line. Rivers that flow across the Fall Line cause waterfalls and rapids. The Coastal Plain is the biggest region in Georgia. The Coastal Plain has lots of good farm land. Peanuts, pecans, peaches, sweet potatoes, and watermelon grow in the Coastal Plains. Some of the animals of the Coastal Plains are wild hogs, muskrat, rabbits, deer, and many snakes. The Okefenokee Swamp is located in the Coastal Plains. Alligators, snakes, bobcats, black bears, and some Bald Eagles are found in the southern part of Georgia. Also, marshes are found off the coast of Georgia. They form close to the salty water of the Atlantic Ocean. |
