- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about the geologic regions of Georgia. Georgia's rocks and geological structures define the shape and relief of the land, providing the topographic tapestry on which the state's history has been played out. The story of Georgia's geology stretches far back into the distant past and tells a tale of ancient tropical seas, mountains pushed up by the collision of continents, and ocean basins opening as continents rift apart.
