Georgia's Regions and Rivers ppt
Georgia is located in the northern and western hemispheres of the Earth on the North American continent. It is in the southeastern region of the United States. Georgia has five geographic regions - the Appalachian Plateau, Valley and Ridge, Blue Ridge Mountains, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain. Key physical features that have influenced Georgia's development include the Fall Line, Okefenokee Swamp, Appalachian Mountains, Chattahoochee and Savannah Rivers, and barrier islands along the coast.
Georgia's Marsh and Swamp Habitat
The document describes the swamp and marsh habitat in southeast Georgia, focusing on the Okefenokee Swamp. It discusses how alligators, herons, pitcher plants, water lilies, and cypress trees are well-suited to thrive in the hot, humid climate with abundant fresh and brackish water. Key adaptations include coloration that provides camouflage, physical traits like webbed feet and bills that aid in movement through water and catching prey, and physiological adaptations like roots that can grow submerged or above water. The soft soil is nutrient-poor, so some plants obtain nutrients by trapping and digesting insects.
Piedmont and Coastal Plain
Georgia is divided into five geographic regions - the Appalachian Plateau, Valley and Ridge, Blue Ridge, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain. The Piedmont region makes up 30% of the state's land area and features rolling hills between 500-1700 feet in elevation. It has significant granite and marble deposits and is important for agriculture. Nearly 50% of Georgia's population lives in the Piedmont, which also contains many businesses and industry. The Coastal Plain is the largest region, stretching from the coast inland, and produces the majority of the state's agricultural crops like peanuts and onions.
The Taiga Biome
The taiga biome has long, cold winters and short, cool summers with low precipitation. It is dominated by coniferous trees like spruce, fir, and pine that are adapted to the climate with needle-like leaves and thick bark. Common animal species include bears, wolves, lynx, and birds that have insulating fur or feathers. The taiga stores a large amount of carbon and covers a significant portion of the northern hemisphere.
Desert Introduction
White Sands National Monument in New Mexico, Wadi Dhar in Yemen, and Dead Vleii in the Namib Desert are provided as examples of desert locations. Deserts are defined as areas receiving less than 250mm of annual precipitation, or less than 100mm for extreme deserts. Deserts experience large daily temperature fluctuations. Common desert landforms include hamadas (rock deserts), ergs (sand deserts), stony deserts, playas (dry lake beds), wadis (dry river beds), and bajadas (alluvial fans). Desert vegetation is xerophytic or drought-resistant, with small, twisted leaves and stomata that only open at night. Perenn
Endangered species
Scientists determine if a species is endangered based on estimates of its breeding rates, threats from predators or disease, and population decreases over time. The Endangered Species Act of 1973 provides protection for species classified as endangered or threatened throughout a significant part of their range in the United States. Examples of endangered species include the sun bear, honey bee, quokka, kakapo, saola, and sand cat.
Jaguars
Jaguars live in rainforests and areas with trees and rivers in South America and the southern United States. They have an average lifespan of 12-15 years and weigh between 100-250 pounds. Jaguars prey includes fish, turtles, deer, peccaries, and tapirs. They rarely attack humans.
Grassland
The grasslands biome is dominated by grasses and other herbaceous plants called forbs. It covers more of the Earth's surface than any other biome. North American grasslands can be divided into tallgrass, mixed grass, and shortgrass prairies depending on the average precipitation and height of the dominant grasses. While grasses remain green and growing in the spring and summer, they become brown and dried out in the autumn and winter. Grasslands support a diversity of primary consumers and provide habitat for species like bison, prairie dogs, meadowlarks and rattlesnakes. However, over 99% of North American grasslands have been converted to agricultural use like growing corn and wheat.

Desert
The North American deserts are located east of mountain ranges where moisture-laden winds drop their precipitation on the western slopes, creating rain shadows. These include the Sierra Nevada mountains, which block moisture from reaching deserts. North American deserts experience large temperature ranges from 20-110 degrees Fahrenheit but are generally dry, receiving less than 10 inches of annual precipitation. Vegetation and animals are limited by the arid conditions and low-nutrient soils. Common plant adaptations include shallow, widespread roots and fleshy stems for water storage. Many reptiles, including rattlesnakes, lizards and tortoises, are well-adapted to the desert climate through behaviors like burrowing and crepuscular activity patterns. After rare
