Virginia
Geography, Virginia Facts
About half of Alabama
Virginia is made up of four distinct geographical regions:
the Tidewater, Piedmont, Valley and TransAllegheny areas. The Tidewater is a
level area of coastal plain which includes four great rivers: the Potomac, the
Rappahannock, the York and the James, all of which empty into the Chesapeake
Bay. The Piedmont is a rolling plateau region between the Tidewater and the Blue
Ridge Mountains. The Great Valley lies between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny
mountains, and the TransAllegheny area includes portions of the Blue Ridge and
Appalachian mountain ranges.
The climate of Virginia is mild and allows for a long growing season for
farmers. The soil varies greatly throughout the state, ranging from very fertile
in the Great Valley area to very sandy in the Tidewater area. Animal life is
abundant and varied, and includes a variety of fresh and salt water fish and
shellfish in the Tidewater area
