Presentation transcript:

Coastal Plain Region of Georgia

Coastal Plain A coastal plain is a low lying flat land by a seacoast. The Coastal Plains region of Georgia is known for its flatlands, marshes and swamps. One of the best-known wetlands in the United States - the Okefenokee Swamp - is located in this region of Georgia. This area covers the southern and southeastern half of Georgia. It is the largest region of Georgia.

Climate The Coastal Plain has a moderate climate with hot humid summers and mild winters.

Soil The land is flat, and the soil is mostly sandy. It is sandy because millions of years ago it was covered by the ocean!

Animals living here…. This region is also home to the venomous Coral Snake! If you see one remember this rhyme: Red on black, friend of Jack. Red on yellow, kill a fellow! You will also find the eastern diamondback rattlesnake, gopher tortoise, and the little grass frog is one of the tiniest critters that live in this coastal habitat. The armadillo is one of the most unique mammals that make this region their home. Other mammals include deer, bobcats, skunks, opossums, and raccoon.

Plants living here…… There are many species of trees that thrive in the coastal plain. Among them are the sweet gum, magnolia, bay, and hickory trees, which live near streams. Pine, live oak, saw palmetto, wax myrtle, and wiregrass grow in the flatwoods. Dominating the southeastern Coastal Plain, the ecosystem of longleaf pine and wiregrass harbored the most species-rich communities reported in North America.

Rivers of the Coastal Plain The main rivers of Georgia meet in the Coastal Plains region as they make their way to the Atlantic Ocean. In this region, you can find the Oconee, Ocmulgee, Flint, Savannah, St. Mary's and Altamaha Rivers.
