They include the Passaic Formation, the Lockatong Formation, the Stockton Formation, and the igneous rocks basalt and diabase. In New Jersey, more basalt flows are evident with several named formations including the Hook Mountain Basalt, the Preakness Basalt, and the Orange Mountain Basalt.

The bedrock of the Palisades, Rocky Hills, Sourland Mountain, and Cushetunk Mountain is formed by diabase, while the Watchung Mountain chain is underlain by basalt – both due to lava flows. The lowland areas in between mountain ranges are underlain by sedimentary rock and form excellent aquifers.

It comprises a relatively low rolling plateau (from 300 to 1,800 feet [90 to 550 metres]) cut by many rivers and is a fertile agricultural region. Cotton is the most important crop in the southern areas, while tobacco and fruit predominate in the north.

Bedrock is the hard, solid rock beneath surface materials such as soil and gravel. Bedrock also underlies sand and other sediments on the ocean floor. Bedrock is consolidated rock, meaning it is solid and tightly bound. Overlying material is often unconsolidated rock, which is made of loose particles.

In Hunterdon County they include stream, wetland, glacial, windblown, and hillslope sediments and weathered bedrock material. The weathered bedrock material may be as much as 200 feet thick. The other sediments are generally less than 20 feet thick. The surficial materials range from coarse gravel to clay and peat.

New Jersey has five distinct climatic regions. These are: Northern, Central, Pine Barrens, Southwest, and Coastal. Each of the climate zones is described in detail below.

New Jersey contains 5 physiographic provinces combined and split into 6 Landscape Regions: The Atlantic Coastal Landscape Region encompasses parts of Monmouth, Ocean, Cape May, and Atlantic counties. ... The Delaware Bay Landscape Region encompasses all or parts of Cape May, Atlantic and Cumberland counties.

Beginning in the northwest and proceeding southeast, these regions are called the Valley and Ridge, High- lands, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain Provinces. The first three are grouped with the larger classification known as the Appa- lachian Highland, the last with the Atlantic Slope.

DESCRIPTION: There are three major rock formations that make-up the bedrock of New York City. In stratigraphic order, these are the Fordham Gneiss, Inwood Marble, and Manhattan Schist. These three metamorphic rock types are referred to as the New York City Group.
