Visiting these sites:
http://www.netstate.com/states/geography/ga_geography.htm
http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/us/A0858372.html
you’ ll find out information about climate, which is humid subtropical with mild winters and hot moist summers is characteristic of most of Georgia; and basic facts, such as total area, highest and lowest point, major rivers and lakes.(Major Rivers: Chattahoochee River, Savannah River, Suwannee River; Major Lakes: Clark's Hill Lake, West Point Lake, Lake Hartwell).
I was impressed by the number and the breath – taking beauty of rivers and landscapes, which are located within the territory of the State.
The list of the rivers you can find here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_of_Georgia_(U.S._state)

Each region has its own distinctive characteristics. For instance, the Ridge and Valley, which lies in the northwest corner of the state, includes limestone, sandstone, shale and other sedimentary rocks, which have yielded construction-grade limestone, barite, ocher and small amounts of coal.
