When examining each of the five physiographic provinces of Virginia, consider the following information/questions:
- What types of sediment can you find in each region?
- How would you describe the overall topography of the land in each region?
- What types of rocks (if any) are associated with the various landscapes?
- Would you find karst topography in any of these regions? (If so, what would that mean?)
- Can you mine any natural resources?
- What are the geologic hazards associated with each region? (example: are there flood risks? high slopes?)
- Describe the water quality in each region. (Fresh water, salt water, high pollution, etc.)... Would you feel safe drinking it?
