Conclusion
Amicalola Falls' physical geography makes it unique among Georgian landforms. It demarcates a boundary between two distinct physiographical regions of the state, the Piedmont and the Blue Ridge. The landscape's soils, rocks, and topology reflects the shift between the areas. In particular, the presence of both marble and granite illustrates the dual characteristics of two regions. The observed topology of the area shows the dramatic change in elevation common to this regional boundary. This change allows for the formation of the Amicalola Falls, fluvial down cutting of the landscape, and the eventual receding of the falls. We hope that our virtual field trip has shown you what the mountains of North Georgia have to offer. Our aim is for you to have a better understanding of the physical landforms, physical processes, climate, soils, and geology that have made Amicalola Falls the remarkable place that it is today. Maybe one day you will have the opportunity to visit our neck of the woods and plan a trip to Amicalola Falls State Park!

**Conclusion Question:** What process will cause the disappearance of the falls?
