The Piedmont is a hilly region. It is in the middle of the state. We live in the Piedmont region. There is a lot of rock below the soil here. Sometimes it pokes out so we can see it- like at Stone Mountain! There are many streams and rivers.

Habitat

The Piedmont has a broadleaf forest habitat. This type of forest has deciduous trees, which are the trees that drop their leaves every fall. There are also some coniferous trees in this type of forest. These trees do not lose their leaves in the fall. A pine tree is an example. The name coniferous comes from the word "cone", like a pine cone.

climate

The Piedmont region has hot and humid summers and not too cold winters. It rains some and the air feels wet and sticky, or humid, most of the time. Scientists call this a humid subtropical climate.
