United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Duncan, Mack S.2002-11-18Encyclopedia article about the fall line in Georgia. The fall line is a geological boundary about twenty miles wide that runs across Georgia northeastward from Columbus to Augusta. As the Mesozoic shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean, it separates Upper Coastal Plain sedimentary rocks to the south from Piedmont crystalline rocks to the north. The fall line is notable not only for the geological relationship but also for the impact that the geology had on early transportation and consequently on commerce and society.GSE identifier: SS2G1, SS8G1text/htmlengForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.Rivers--GeorgiaWaterfalls--GeorgiaGeology--GeorgiaFall lineText
