Question

What are virgina mayjor landforms?

Answer 1

The Chesapeake Bay divides the commonwealth with Virginia's Eastern Shore as a separate exclave. Many of Virginia's rivers flow into the Chesapeake. The Virginia seismic zone has not had a history of regular activity. Earthquakes are rarely above 4.5 on the Richter magnitude scale because Virginia is located centrally on the North American Plate. The largest earthquake, at 5.9 magnitude, came in 1897 in Blacksburg. Besides coal, resources such as slate, kyanite, and sand and gravel are mined with an annual value over $2 billion. Geographically and geologically, Virginia is divided into five regions from east to west:

Tidewater—Coastal plain between the Atlantic coast and the fall line, including the Eastern Shore and major estuaries.

Piedmont—Mesozoic sedimentary and igneous rock based foothills east of the Appalachian Mountains, but including the Southwest Mountains.

Blue Ridge Mountains—includes Mount Rogers and the Appalachian Trail.

Ridge and Valley—includes Massanutten Mountain and the Great Appalachian Valley with carbonate rock below.

Appalachian Plateau—west of the mountains toward the Allegheny Plateau with a dendritic drainage system flowing into the Ohio River basin.
