what are the natural resources in blue ridge GA
I have the same question for my science project and no one will answer it.
no one formed it , it was only formed during the formation of the blue ridge mountains
One word I have heard used is Sha-Kon-O-Hay meaning "Land of blue smoke""
At first, the Blue Ridge Mountains delayed westward expansion. Treaties with Native Americans forbid White Settlers from crossing the mountains. But explorers, including a survey trip by George Washington, began to open the way for settlers to migrate.
I want to give you more than one!: Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, Blue Ridge Mountains, Catskill, Great Smoky Mountains, Ouchita, Appalachian, Ozark, Olympic,
The Rockies, which continue northward into Canada.
The Appalachian Mountains range. This province consists of northern and southern physiographic regions, which divide near the Roanoke River gap.The mountain range is located in the eastern United States, starting at its southern-most portion in Georgia, then ending northward in Pennsylvania. To the west of the Blue Ridge, between it and the bulk of the Appalachians, lies the Great Appalachian Valley, bordered on the west by the Ridge and Valley province of the Appalachian range. The Blue Ridge Mountains are noted for their bluish colour when seen from a distance. Trees put the "blue" in Blue Ridge, from the isoprene released into the atmosphere,thereby contributing to the characteristic haze on the mountains and their distinctive colour. Within the Blue Ridge province are two major national parks: the Shenandoah National Park in the northern section and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the southern section. The Blue Ridge also contains the Blue Ridge Parkway, a 469-mile (755 km) long scenic highway that connects the two parks and is located along the ridge crestlines with the Appalachian Trail. It is considered one of the most beautiful segments of american geography.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the well known National Scenic Byways which are roads next to cultural objects. The Blue Ridge Parkway is near Asheville, North Carolina.
Sorry- no one mountain, no one temperature. Today at the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia it was a lovely 75 degrees F. At the top of Mt. Everest it is about -25 degrees F.
The Blue Ridge Mountains themselves are not destructive in that there are no volcanoes. The mountains were thrust up long ago as North America collided with the other continents to form Pangaea. At one point, the Appalachian chain would have looked more like the Himalayas today.
