What children learn in Level 32
- The Piedmont stretches across the middle of north Georgia. Its name means foot of the mountains.
- It has rolling hills and red clay soil. Stone Mountain, a giant dome of granite, rises out of the Piedmont.
- More people live here than in any other region, in cities like Atlanta and Athens. Oaks, pines, and dogwoods grow here, and squirrels, raccoons, and red-tailed hawks are common.
