Name______________________________________ HR Teacher______________________ Physiographic Regions of Georgia Travel Brochure Congratulations, you have been hired by the state of Georgia to attract skilled workers and new businesses. Create a brochure over all five regions of Georgia that would attract the best and the brightest individuals, groups, and institutions to the Peach State. You will be graded on: following directions, inclusion of required elements, accuracy and completeness of answers, and neatness. Your brochure must have: 1. Front Cover: To include a GA Regions Map*and Title (at bottom of pageName, Date, HR Teacher) 2. Flap 1: Plateau 3. Inside left panel 2: Ridge and Valley 4. Middle Panel3: Blue Ridge 5. Inside Right Panel 4: Piedmont 6. Middle Back Panel Flap 5: Coastal Plain (include coastal information & islands but not continental shelf) *Label and color the five physiographic regions and label and define the Fall Line. Each section must include the following: A. Location: 1. Relative 2. Comparative Size: smallest, largest etc. B. Physical Features: 1. General physical features: Things like mountains, hills in general terms. Also include Specific physical features covered in class. i.e. Appalachian Mountains 2. Natural Resources C. Major Cities/Attractions It may be hand written or typed on the computer. *Students also have the option of creating a paper slide video or a 3D map of Georgia. See teacher to receive instructions* Example: Coastal Plain (you can use but copy in writing or retype & add to/shorten where needed) Location: 1. Relative: South- Southeast of the fall line 2. Comparative size: Largest of areas – 60% of state Physical Features: 1. General physical features: Wide deep rivers some get wider towards the coast. Flat low relief with few steep hills or rocks. Along the coast the land is low lying. COAST: swamps, rivers & streams, estuaries; small islands; large coastal islands – real beach is only on seaward side of outer islands. TIDES: low tide – rivers go out to sea – during high tide: the sea forces the rivers to reverse their flow so they carry a mixture of salt and fresh water for 10 miles or more called tidal rivers. When these spill over banks they create saltwater marshes. Marshes act as buffers from storms, filter out pollutants (Wetlands). BARRIER ISLANDS: block ocean waves from hitting mainland – “golden islands” – explorers looking for gold, beach houses Specific Physical features: Fall Line: northern boundary for this region, it is several miles across – prehistoric ocean’s shoreline – land to north of line is higher in elevation causing rivers to pick up speed as they travel and “fall” through this zone. Okefenokee Swamp – water wetland. Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway – 1,000 mile inland water highway stretching from NY to Miami 2. Natural Resources/Soil & Rocks : Pine trees, fertile soil (75 miles inland); sea food Limestone: soft rock, covered with sediment from rivers depositing soil into ocean in prehistoric times. This area has limestone , clay, sand & sedimentary deposits. Sand & clay are found along coast in the “pine Barrens” area. Major Products 1. This region is known for the production of Vidalia onions, peanuts, corn, pecans and seafood. Major cities: 1. Macon, Albany, Savannah, Columbus Physiographic Region: ______________________________________ Location: 1. Relative: _______________________________________________ 2.
