Edwards Plateau and Llano Uplift AKA Central TX. By: Fidel Otero

Land features Limestone Enchanted Rock Granite Edwards Plateau The land features in Central Texas are Llano Uplift and Edwards Plateau. A cool thing to know about these landforms is that the Llano uplift has granite, while the Edwards Plateau has limestone. Limestone = caves, which means the Edwards Plateau region has a bunch of caves. Also there is the Balcones fault zone located in the Edwards Plateau region and the Enchanted Rock. Granite Edwards Plateau Llano Uplift Caves (Natural Bridge Caverns)

Wind The wind in Central Texas has an average of 10.3 MPH. This is an average wind and it is a gentle breeze. It is enough to rustle leaves, but nothing unusual. This is very normal.
