Piedmonl: Has rolling hills and its name means "land at the foot of the mountains" because it borders the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is
separated from the Tidewater by the Fall Line, the natural border formed by waterfalls along the rivers. Located West of the Fall Line.
Many cities formed along the Fall Line. Richmond, our state capital, is on the James River.

valleys.
Appalachian Plaleau: High, rocky plateau located in Southwest Virginia. Only part of the plateau is in Virginia. The plateau is
