Which region is considered the smallest geographic region?

• A. Appalachian Plateau
• B. Coastal Plain
• C. Blue Ridge
• D. Piedmont

Answer: (A)

Understanding size in this context means land area. The Appalachian Plateau is a narrow, high strip in the far northern corner of the state, part of the Appalachian Mountains. Because it covers only a small amount of ground compared with the other regions, it is the smallest geographic region. The Coastal Plain stretches across most of southern Georgia, the Piedmont covers a broad central belt, and the Blue Ridge spans a large mountainous area in the northeast, all larger than the Appalachian Plateau.
