What children learn in Level 11
- In northwest Georgia is the Ridge and Valley region: long, narrow ridges with low valleys in between, like the folds of a blanket.
- Farmers grow crops and raise animals in the flat valleys. Dalton makes so many carpets, it's called the carpet capital of the world!
- Tucked in the far northwest corner is the smallest region: the Appalachian Plateau. A plateau is high land that's flat on top.
- The plateau has Lookout Mountain, caves, and deep canyons, like Cloudland Canyon.
