(3 pts) St. Simons Island, Sea Island, and Jekyll Island. 8) How did these barrier islands form? (3 pts) They form as waves repeatedly deposit sediment to the shoreline. 9) How might the construction of dams impact the sand supply available for barrier islands from rivers in the Coastal Plain? (2 pts) 10) Describe the topography of each geologic province (2 pts for each): a. Valley and Ridge- Northwest Georgia—folded Paleozoic sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks b. Blue Ridge Northeast Georgia—Precambrian and Paleozoic metamorphic and igneous rocks c. Piedmont Central North Georgia-- Precambrian and Paleozoic metamorphic and igneous rocks d. Coastal Plain Southeast Georgia—Ilate Mesozoic and younger sedimentary rocks 11) Name two monadnocks in Georgia. (2 pts) Stone Mountain and Panola Mountain. 12) In the southeastern Coastal Plain, a large, poorly drained swamp is located inland from the St. Mary’s River. What is the name of this swamp? Qkefenokee Swamp. 13) Using your history of the relationship between swamps, plant material, and geologic resources, what might form in millions of years in this location, if the conditions are correct? Coal is a sedimentary rock made of carbon and it forms millions of years. When plants start to die off, they sink to the bottom of the water forming swamps. Sediment deposits and over millions of years due to heat it will form into coal. 14) In which province is Georgia State University located? Describe the geology of Atlanta. (3 pts)
