41 Warm up: List 10 facts you learned about Georgia's Geographical regions.

42 Compare and contrast land forms/geography & Climate Georgia Ireland

43 SS8G1 The student will describe Georgia with regard to physical features and location. c. Locate and evaluate the importance of key physical features on the development of Georgia including the Fall Line, Okefenokee Swamp, Appalachian Mountains, Chattahoochee and Savannah Rivers, and barrier islands.

44 SS8G1 The student will describe Georgia with regard to physical features and location. d.evaluate the impact of climate on Georgia s development.

45 Hottest month Coldest month Average Temperature Records Driest month GA s Climate Hottest Coldest Precipitation Average Central and south Wettest month Northern and mountain

46 July Hottest month Coldest month January 65 Average Temperature Records Hottest Coldest October Driest month GA s Climate Precipitation Average Central and south July Wettest month Northern and mountain

47 Why do we get more rain in the north part of the state and not the south?

48 Vertical climate or cold air damming.

49

50 How does this abundance of rainfall in the north effect the development of Georgia? Think about What does this rain produce?

51 Georgia s Waterways List as many uses as you can think of on how Georgia s waterways have contributed to the state.

52 ...the impact of climate on Georgia s development. Georgia s climate made the state a major producer of tobacco, rice, and indigo before the American Revolution and Cotton after the war. People moved out from the coast inland to where the soil was fertile and the water plentiful. Agriculture is still important to Georgia s economy. Major agricultural sections of the state have are more rural due to the use of land for farming. Many businesses and industries will chose to relocate in Georgia because the mild climate means that factories seldom experience weather related shutdowns or delays and the companies save money on heating costs.

53 SS8G2: The student will explain how the Interstate Highway System, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, and Georgia s deepwater ports, and the railroads help drive the state s economy. a. Explain how the four transportation systems interact to provide domestic and international goods to the people of Georgia. b. Explain how the four transportation systems interact to provide producers and service providers in Georgia with national and International markets. c. Explain how the four transportation systems provide jobs for Georgians Georgia s Major Transportation Systems

63 SS8G1 The student will describe Georgia with regard to physical features and location. c. Locate and evaluate the importance of key physical features on the development of Georgia including the Fall Line, Okefenokee Swamp, Appalachian Mountains, Chattahoochee and Savannah Rivers, and barrier islands.

64 The fall line Was once the shore line physiographic border between the piedmont and coastal plain regions. The name derives from the river rapids and falls that occur as the water flows from the hard rocks of the higher piedmont onto the softer rocks of the coastal plain. 3 major cities on the fall line: Columbus Macon Augusta

65 The fall line Difficult to travel on rivers north of the fall line because of shoals and rapids Early settlers used the waterfalls for power Georgia's first industrial towns were on the fall line

66 SS8G1 The student will describe Georgia with regard to physical features and location. c. Locate and evaluate the importance of key physical features on the development of Georgia including the Fall Line, Okefenokee Swamp, Appalachian Mountains, Chattahoochee and Savannah Rivers, and barrier islands.

67 Warm up 1. According to the polls who is currently leading in the presidential election? 2. Name three barrier islands? Describe cold air damming and how 3. this contributes to Georgia receiving over 60 inches of rain in the Northeast part of the state.

68 Georgia' Major Rivers Chattahoochee & Savannah

69 Georgia' Major Rivers Chattahoochee Longest river in GA Begins in NEGA mountains near the city of Helen Forms lake Lanier, West Point, Walter F. George, Simanole Forms the southern half of our border with Alabama Supplies water to large cities Gainesville Atlanta Columbus

70 Savannah Georgia' Major Rivers Begins in NEGA mountains Forms lake Hartwell, Lake Richard B. Russell and Clarks Hill Lake Forms most of our border with South Carolina Supplies water for two large cities Augusta Savannah Has one of Georgia's major sea ports

71

72 Northeast and extreme Northwest Georgia Appalachian Plateau and Blue Ridge regions Higher elevations create a vertical climate (gets cooler as you go up) Vertical climate cools the air and condenses the moisture into rain The mountains get the most rain each year (over 70 inches a year) which provides water for cities south to the south. Major tourist area for the state Appalachian Mountains

73 Barrier islands 12 islands They act as a barrier that protects the mainland from erosion Protects the mainland from ocean currents, winds, and storms
