Ridge and Valley
The Valley and Ridge region of Georgia is located in the northwestern part of Georgia, below the Appalachian Plateau. This region is a rocky and mountainous landscape filled with many ridges and valleys. The ridges and valleys go across from each other. The ridges are harder rocks, while the rocks in between are softer because of erosion. Some formations are the Chickamauga Valley, the Great Valley, and Armudia Ridges. These valleys have land that is fertile enough for farming. Also, the streams and roads in this region run along the valleys. The climate for this region is fair, with mild temperate summers and winters.
A number of coastal plain species reach up the Coosa Valley into north Georgia. Pine Woods Tree Frog , Gopher Frog, Southern Hognose Snake, as well as Chicken Turtle, Squirrel Tree Frog, and Oak Toad extend north of the coastal plain only up the Coosa River Valley. Also, Fish, muscles, snails, and crayfish can be found in this region.
In the Valley and Ridge region materials include limestone, dolomite, shale, siltstone, sandstone, chert, mudstone, and marble. The valleys are mostly agricultural, with a mix of crop rows and pastures. The main crops in this region are corn, soybeans, wheat and cotton.
