This region consists primarily of rolling hills with many valleys. In some areas the hills are quite tall and almost appear to be mountains themselves. Large areas of solid rock are found just beneath the earth's surface in the Piedmont. This is called bedrock; consists of such stone as granite, gneiss, and marble.
