Explore the Mountain State with
West Virginia is a state full of intriguing geology. With a
sedimentary record of the entire Paleozoic Era within its
irregular borders, it features the tilted landscape of the
Appalachian Plateau, the severely deformed layers of the
Valley and Ridge Province, and the Great Valley of the Blue
Ridge Province. Continents colliding along the eastern
coast of North America built huge mountains that shed
sediment into a shallow inland sea to the west. Thick
wedges of sandstone, shale, and limestone piled up, all
folded by later collisions to the east. The result: some
incredibly beautiful geology.
