Georgia Piedmont Habitat
The Georgia Piedmont is between the mountains and the plains.
Known for weathered and nutrient poor soil.

Piedmont Habitat Land Animals
Raccoon These nocturnal animals are found in urban, suburban, and rural habitats. They are also found from the mountains to the coast!
The white tailed deer is the smallest deer in North America!
This is the Red Fox. It hunts alone or in small family groups!

Snakes, frogs, and lizards
Because they are reptiles, they like to
be near water! Cottonmouth – water moccasin

Georgia Mountains Habitat
The mountains in Georgia were formed over a billion
years ago! Brasstown Bald is in the Georgia mountains. It is
the highest point in Georgia rising over 4,784
feet above sea level.

Marsh / Swamp Habitat
The Okefenokee
Swamp is in the Georgia Plains region.
Okefenokee comes from the Indian word which means “Land of the Trembling Earth”
![Page 15: Georgia Habitats - Simpson 3rd Grade - Homesimpson3rdgrade.weebly.com/uploads/5/5/2/0/... · Georgia Piedmont Habitat The Georgia Piedmont is between the mountains and the plains](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030904/5b456b1b7f8b9ad1138ba8e5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Marsh / Swamp Habitat
Not all of the Okefenokee is a swamp. Part of it is a bog which is a mossy wetland.
It is so boggy that you can shake trees by stomping on the ground!

Marsh / Swamp Habitat Plants
Pitcher Plants eat live bugs! The
bugs are attracted to the smell and they
crawl inside. Once inside, they are
trapped. The flower has strong
chemicals that immediately
dissolve the bug.
Bladderworts live in shallow water and have small air sacs that catch small bugs, water fleas, and worms.
The Sundew flower has sticky stuff on the plant. When bugs land, they are stuck. Then the flower can eat the bug.

Coastal Habitat
The coastal habitat is the
southeastern portion of the Coastal Plains region of Georgia. It is the coastline that separates the plains from the sea.
You can see the coastal habitat in the picture below.

Atlantic Ocean Habitat
Every year Loggerhead sea
turtles lay their eggs on the beach, but
make their home in the ocean. That is why you found them in the
Coastal Habitat as well!

Pollution Pollution also is a major reason for the loss of habitat. When it rains, many chemicals and debris from roads, cars, lawns, construction sites and dumps - just to name a few - run into streams and finally into the estuaries and bays. When this habitat is destroyed by the chemicals, poor farming or building too close to streams - fish die. They die because their nesting and feeding areas are destroyed. These areas where fish can not survive are called "Dead Zones". One of these dead zones extends 7,000 miles into the Gulf of Mexica off Texas and Louisiana due to pollution. *Courtesy of http://www.howard.k12.md.us/res/habitat/pollution.html

Oil Spills Oil water logs a bird's feathers so that it drowns, dies of cold or is poisoned by swallowing oil when trying to clean its plumage. Most oil pollution is accidental but some is deliberate, such as ships illegally washing out their tanks at sea.
