1
5.3 Virginia's Geologic Provinces
I can describe and explain the formation of Virginia's different geologic provinces.
2
The Coastal Plain
Topography: relatively flat
Type of rock: sedimentary
Formation: weathering, erosion, and deposition of sediments from the western mountains
Special: Chesapeake Bay, marine fossils, youngest rocks in Virginia
3
The Piedmont
Topography: rolling hills
Type of rock: metamorphic
Formation: metamorphism of ancient seafloor rock by volcanism and the continental collision that formed Pangaea
Special: Woodbridge Senior High School, Fall Line separates this region from the Coastal Plain
4
The Blue Ridge
Topography: Long mountain chain
Type of rock: igneous
Formation: volcanic rock that was raised during the continental collision that formed Pangaea
Special: oldest rocks in Virginia
5
The Valley and Ridge
Topography: parallel ridges and valleys
Type of rock: sedimentary
Formation: ancient seafloor folded by the continental collision that formed Pangaea
Special: Karst features like caves and sinkholes
6
The Appalachian Plateau
Topography: relatively flat with high elevation
Type of rock: sedimentary
Formation: deposited in ancient seas and swamp and eroded over time
Special: COAL!
