Atlantic Ocean Name__________________________ Date________________ Number___ Adaptations & GA Regions Study Guide If you study all of this information you will do an AWESOME job tomorrow on your test!!! Mountain Region  located in the northern part of Georgia  has the highest elevation because of the large number of tall mountains  cold winters  black bears live here Piedmont Region  located between the mountain region and the coastal plains region  many rivers and lakes  waterfalls  white tail deer and raccoons live here Coastal Plains Region  located in southern Georgia  flat plains  hot summers  mild winters  live oak trees and longleaf pines grow here  squirrels and gopher tortoises live here o Okefenokee Swamp  fresh water  herons, frogs & alligators live here  water lilies and pitcher plants grow here There’s more good stuff on the back…. o Atlantic Ocean  salt water  sandy soil along the coast  sea turtles and right whales live here Adaptations  adaptations help plants and animals survive  webbed feet help animals swim  pelicans have large beaks to scoop up fish with  animals gather food before they hibernate so that they can survive the winter  frogs have sticky tongues to catch their food with  some plants that live in water have really long stems Parent’s Signature__________________________________ Adaptations and GA Habitats Test Answer Key 1.
