- Coal is the only known source in the state
- Tourism and forestry are the most profitable industries
Valley and Ridge
- Located between the Appalachian Plateau and Blue Ridge region
- Long, parallel ridges separated by wide, fertile valleys
- Ridges range in height between 700-1600 feet above sea level
- Temperatures are similar to the Appalachian Plateau
- Summer temperatures in the 80s and 90s
