North Carolina

North Carolina features a diverse topography that can be divided into three distinct regions: the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, and the Appalachian Mountains. The Coastal Plain, which occupies the eastern part of the state, is characterized by flat and gently sloping land, with elevations typically less than 300 feet (91 meters). This area includes vast wetlands and estuaries, along with barrier islands like the Outer Banks, known for their sandy beaches and unique ecosystems. Moving westward, the Piedmont region presents a more undulating landscape, with rolling hills and elevations ranging from 300 to about 1,500 feet (91 to 457 meters). This region is the state's urban and industrial center, home to major cities and fertile agricultural land. Finally, the Appalachian Mountains dominate the western part of the state, where peaks rise dramatically, with Mount Mitchell reaching over 6,600 feet (2,012 meters), making it the highest point in eastern North America. This mountainous terrain features deep valleys and lush forests, contributing to the region's rich biodiversity and scenic beauty.
