Answer Key VS.10b – Products and Industries Word Bank: (some words will not be used) peanuts economies military bases tobacco products federal tourism Coastal Plain coal mining seafood Piedmont shipbuilding information technology horse state technology recreation Virginia has five geographic regions. Each region has their own products and industries that help their economies grow. The Tidewater region, also known as the Coastal Plain, is close to the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay, and is therefore famous for seafood. This region also grows peanuts. Shipbuilding is a popular industry in Newport News. Tourism is another important industry, with areas like Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Busch Gardens. There are also military bases in the Tidewater, especially in Norfolk, which is a major U.S. Naval Base. The Piedmont area manufactures tobacco products and information technology. Here, you will also find state government workers in Richmond, and federal government workers in Northern Virginia. Horse industry is important here, especially at Colonial Downs in Williamsburg, a famous horse racing track. Farming is another important industry in the Piedmont region. Answer Key VS.10b – More Products and Industries Word Bank: (some words will not be used) recreation beef turkeys Blue Ridge Mountains fuel apples seafood southwest apple coal farming Valley and Ridge tobacco dairy peanuts coal mining The Blue Ridge Mountains region is found between the Piedmont and the Valley and Ridge Regions. Here, orchards produce many apples. Farming is also important in this region. Virginians enjoy recreation, such as hiking. The Valley and Ridge region is also famous for apple production. Virginia is one of the major producers of turkeys in the United States. Chickens are also raised in this region. Along with poultry, dairy and beef are important products. All of these animals make farming a very important industry to this region. The Appalachian Plateau in Southwest Virginia, is Virginia’s smallest region. There are no large cities here, just small towns. Coal mining is most important in this region, whose main product is coal. Coal is used for fuel in homes and factories. Answer Keys VS.2a Relative Location Locations of places can be described in relative terms. Relative location may be described using terms that show connections between two places such as “next to,” “near,” and “bordering.” There are two bodies of water that border Virginia, the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay. The body of water that borders Virginia to the east is the Atlantic Ocean. The Chesapeake Bay separates Virginia from the Eastern Shore. The five states that border Virginia are: Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina. VS.2b Virginia’s Regions Geographic regions have distinctive characteristics. Virginia is divided in five regions. They are: Coastal Plain (Tidewater), Piedmont, Blue Ridge Mountains, Valley and Ridge, and the Appalachian Plateau. The natural border that is between the Coastal Plain (Tidewater) region and the Piedmont region is the Fall Line. The Fall Line is where waterfalls prevent further travel by rivers. The Coastal Plain (Tidewater) region consists of flat land located near the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay. It is east of the Fall Line and includes the Eastern Shore. The Piedmont region is west of the Fall Line. Piedmont means land at the foot of the mountains. The land there is rolling hills. We live in the Piedmont region. The Blue Ridge Mountains are old, rounded mountains that are part of the Appalachian mountain system. They are located between the Piedmont region and the Valley and Ridge region. The mountains are a source of many rivers. The Valley and Ridge region includes the Great Valley of Virginia and other valleys separated by ridges. This region is located west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Appalachian Plateau is located in Southwest Virginia. A plateau is an area of elevated land that is flat on top. Only a small portion of the plateau is actually in Virginia. VS.2c – Virginia’s Water Features Water features were important to the early history of Virginia. Many early Virginia cities developed along the Fall Line and the rivers in Virginia. The Atlantic Ocean was the link between Virginia and other places like Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. Early settlers would travel across the ocean to reach Virginia. The Chesapeake Bay was also a source of transportation and food. It provided a safe harbor for Virginia. The four major rivers of Virginia all flow into the Chesapeake Bay. Each river in Virginia was a source of food and provided a pathway for exploration and the settlement of Virginia. The four major rivers that flow into the Chesapeake Bay are separated by peninsulas. The Potomac River is the border between Maryland and Virginia. Alexandria is located along the Potomac River. Another important river in Virginia is the Rappahannock River. Fredericksburg is located along this river. Yorktown is located along the York River. Richmond and Jamestown are located along the longest river in Virginia, the James River. The Eastern Shore is a peninsula bordered by the Chesapeake Bay to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. It is part of the Coastal Plain region. Another body of water located in the Coastal Plain region is Lake Drummond. It is a shallow natural lake surrounded by the Dismal Swamp. The Dismal Swamp contains a variety of wildlife. George Washington once explored and surveyed this area. VS.10b – Products and Industries Virginia has five geographic regions.
