1 clean sheet of paper Title: Rules and Procedures Quiz Write first and last name, date, block. quiz on procedures!
Objective: Students will describe the three regions of NC and tell how the natural resources affect the state. Notes: A Day- 8/29 B Day- 8/30
Borders Atlantic Ocean= moisture from ocean NC is in the “sun belt.” Being in the South means we are closer to equator = warmer temp., more sunlight NC as a state
Costal Plain (sub region is the Tidewater), Piedmont, Mountains 3 Regions of NC:
Eastern part of the state (closest to Atlantic) 1) Coastal Plain
Outer Banks which are barrier islands- protect mainland from storms, winds off ocean. Storms hit islands 1st, weaken. • Sandbar: • Barrier- keep something out. • Why is it important to keep storms out of the mainland?
Outer Banks were dangerous for early ships which crashed b/c of changing winds, and sandbars, shallow channels. Called the “Graveyard of the Atlantic”
Tidewater: rivers & water change w/ ocean tide, lots of marsh & swamps 0 elevation! Subregion:
Access to many rivers, fishing Flat land! FARMING!!! Loam (soil mixed with sand, dead plants) is very fertile Natural Resources
Middle of NC, lots of rolling hills. Fall line separates Piedmont & Coast (see waterfalls b/c of change in elevation) Piedmont
Less fertile soil b/c of clay & more rocks. Many minerals, valuable stones- ex granite, quartz Natural Resources
Western part of state, highest elevation = colder climate. Home of Appalachian Mountains. Longest mnt chain on east coast. Mnts. block cold air masses and precipitation = more rain & snow. in mnts Mountains
Soil too rocky for major farming Lots of mineral resources Variety of trees = NC leading wood manufacturer Natural resources
3 corners: when you see a picture, move to the corner that represents that region. Pictorial review
