About half of it here is volcanic soil, plateuas, and fissures.

The Cumberland Plateau in the north is an elevated, somewhat flat area, dissected by the massive Tennessee Riversystem and many small tributaries.

The Piedmont Upland is dominated by several flat-topped mountains, while the Piedmont Plateau in the southeast is generally less elevated land, averaging about 1000 ft. above sea level.

The Appalachian Mountains, about 1,500 miles in length, extend from north-central Alabama, up through the New England states and on into the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Quebec.

Alabama is heavily wooded, and in fact, forests cover almost 65% of available land. Several mountains of size stand in northeastern Alabama, with Lookout Mountain the most prominent. Further south in the Talladaga Range of the Appalachians, the highest point in the state, Cheaha Mountain, stands at 2,407 ft.
