Answer: It separates Georgia's Coastal Plain from its Piedmont region. Piedmont land is higher in elevation than that of the Coastal Plain, causing rivers that begin in the Piedmont to to gather speed - or “fall” - as they pass through the Fall Line into the Coastal Plain.

Answer:

i think it's below the fall line , navigation is nearly impossible.

Step-by-step explanation:

lines of numerous waterfalls, as the edge of a plateau , where streams pass from resistant rocks to a plain of weak ones below. such a line also marks the head of navigation, or the inland limit that ships can reach from a river's mouth; because navigation is interuppted both upstream and downstream, important cities often occur along the fall line . in the eastern United States , a fall line exists between the appalachian , piedmont , and the atlantic coastal plain ; waterfalls or rapids occur on all the principal rivers ( the delaware, schuylkill , patapsco , potomac , james and savannah rivers ) Augusta ga , baltimore , trenton and etc, occur along this fall line. other examples are the fall lines that seperate the narrow coastal plains of Africa, Western Australia , Brazil ,and India from their interior continential shields.
