4 The Coastal Plain is east of the Fall Line. The Fall Line This satellite image clearly shows the fall line. Can you see it? Coastal Plain Piedmont
5 Characteristics of the Coastal Plain The land is flat. There are many waterways. There is easy access to the Atlantic Ocean. People make their livings from fishing, shipbuilding, US military installations, shipping, and tourism. This is what the Atlantic Ocean looks like, right on the beach.
6 The Coastal Plain (Tidewater) Rivers in the Coastal Plain are wide and flow slowly. They empty into the Chesapeake Bay. The place where the river joins the Chesapeake Bay, is the mouth of the river. Sunset on the mouth of the James River at Newport News
7 Many people make their living in the shipping industry. This is a freighter near the mouth of the James River in the Hampton Roads area of Tidewater. A freighter carries manufactured goods and raw materials to be sold. Can you tell how big this freighter is?
8 The Coastal Plain (Tidewater) Shipbuilding is an important industry. This is the Newport News Shipyard, where a huge ocean-going ship is being built.
9 A federal military installation is often called a military base. Another major industry of the Coastal Plain is federal military installations.
10 A federal military installation belongs to the United States government. The military includes the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. Many people in the Coastal Plain region work for the military. Do you know someone who is in the military? An air traffic controller Cutting the ribbon for a new Navy base building
11 Seafood is the major product of the Coastal Plain. The fishing industry produces seafood. People fish for a living. They sell their catch to seafood companies that process, package, and distribute the seafood. This means many jobs for workers in the Coastal Plain. Here we see shrimp boats at the dock. Do you like fish and shrimp? How about oysters?
12 The Coastal Plain (Tidewater) Many people make their living from tourism. This is Virginia Beach, where many tourists go for vacations. Do you like to go to the beach?
13 The Coastal Plain (Tidewater) The Chesapeake Bay, in the Coastal Plain, borders Virginia on the east. Here is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, which connects Hampton Roads with the Eastern Shore. Is this a big bridge, or what!
14 The Coastal Plain (Tidewater) The Chesapeake Bay is a source of seafood for Virginia and the United States. Water sports contribute to the economy of the region. What is the name of this water sport?
15 The Coastal Plain (Tidewater) Maryland The Chesapeake Bay is very large. It is several miles from one side to the other. The bay has 12,000 miles of shoreline. Virginia

18 The Coastal Plain (Tidewater) The James River The James River, in the coastal plain, is the southernmost river that empties into the Chesapeake Bay. Huge freighters can come up the James River to the natural barrier at the Fall Line.
19 The Coastal Plain (Tidewater) The York River The mouth of the York River is north of the James River, in the Coastal Plain. The James River This is a bridge over the mouth of the York River, at Yorktown.
20 The Coastal Plain (Tidewater) The mouth of the Rappahannock River is in the Tidewater, or the Coastal Plain, emptying its waters into the Chesapeake Bay.
21 The Coastal Plain (Tidewater) Fredericksburg is an old city on the Rappahannock River, at the Fall Line.

23 The Coastal Plain (Tidewater) Alexandria, an old city, is located on the Potomac River. This is an old painting of Alexandria in the old days of sailing ships.
24 Here is a modern-day view of Alexandria, on the Potomac River. This river is really wide in the Coastal Plain, isn t it?
25 The Coastal Plain (Tidewater) contains the Eastern Shore. Here is a road map of the Eastern Shore. See all the water? There aren t many roads, are there? The Eastern Shore is a peninsula. A peninsula is a piece of land that is bordered on three sides by water. A peninsula sticks out into the water. Virginia s Eastern Shore
26 The Eastern Shore is bordered by the Chesapeake Bay to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The Eastern Shore gets its name because it is is the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay.
27 There are no major cities on the Eastern Shore. People live in small towns and fish for a living. Wildlife is plentiful, including wild ponies.

33 The Piedmont Region is separated from the Coastal Plain by the Fall Line. The Fall Line This satellite image clearly shows the fall line. Can you see it? Coastal Plain Piedmont
34 The Fall Line got its name because that s where the waterfalls start. There are no waterfalls in the Coastal Plain because the land is too flat. The land rises sharply at the Fall Line. There are small waterfalls in the Piedmont because the Piedmont has hills for the water to fall down. Waterfalls are bigger in the mountains, because the mountains are steeper and higher.
35 Rapids are places in a river where rocks and the downward slope of the land make the river run very fast. Rapids make the river dangerous for boats. River traffic cannot move past the rapids.
36 This is the Rappahannock River, near Fredericksburg. See the rocks in the river? You are looking at rapids on the Fall Line, between the Coastal Plain and the Piedmont regions.

75 The major product of the Appalachian Plateau is coal. This is what coal looks like. It is a seam of coal in between other rock.
76 Here a coal seam has caught fire and burns in the mountain. Coal is a mineral found in the earth. It is like a rock, but it will burn, giving off very hot heat.
77 People used to use coal a lot to heat their houses. Today, however, its major use is in coal-fired power plants, where electricity is generated.
