Piedmont Plateau Climate: mild winters; hot, humid summers Economy: industry, tourism, & some farming Location: from the mountain foothills and goes to central part of state (fall line) Soil: Red clay & granite base Features: Chattahoochee, Flint, Oconee, & Ocmulgee rivers Atlanta, Athens, Stone Mountain, Kennesaw MTN Piedmont Plateau

Coastal Plain Region Climate: mild winters; hot, humid summers Economy: Farming (peanut, soybean, corn, & pecans) Location: from Piedmont (fall line) to coast of GA Soil: Varies from Limestone to clay Features: Barrier islands, wetlands, Okefenokee Swamp, Savannah, Continental Shelf, Naval Stores & pulp production Coastal Plain Region
