Georgia's Five Geographic Regions Explained

The video tutorial by Kimberly Witt covers the five major geographic regions of Georgia: Coastal Plain, Piedmont, Ridge and Valley, Blue Ridge, and Appalachian Plateau. Each region is described in terms of its location, physical characteristics, and notable features. The Coastal Plain is the largest and southernmost region, known for its flatlands and swamps. The Piedmont is hilly with red clay hills. The Ridge and Valley region is small, forested, and rich in waterfalls and fossils. The Blue Ridge region, home to Georgia's highest peak, is rich in natural resources. The Appalachian Plateau, the smallest region, features narrow valleys and wooded ridges. The video concludes with a recap of these regions.
