Conclusion



From its intensely violent formation millions of years ago, the Etowah River Valley has evolved into a lovely scenic region, rich in varied landscapes. The area continues to evolve from both natural and anthropogenic influences. Unfortunately, evolution isn’t always beneficial. Many of the ecosystems are in fragile states and in need of protection. Government agencies are working hard to prevent further degradation. Local and regional organizations have stepped up by providing widespread monitoring in an effort to protect the natural resources and beauty of this area. Progress has been made but more is needed. We hope you have enjoyed your virtual field trip of the Etowah River Valley area. If you happen down this way, make sure to bring your fishing pole, bathing suit, raft, and hiking boots as there is much to see and much to do. Who knows, you might even find an artifact or two.


 * Question 5: In Georgia, the Etowah River runs through how many physiographic provinces and in what river basin is it located?**
