The Blue Ridge Mountains are a physiographic province of the larger Appalachian Mountains range. This province consists of northern and southern physiographic regions, which divide near the Roanoke River gap.
The Blue Ridge Mountains are part of the ancient Appalachian Mountains, stretching from Alabama to southeastern Canada. The abrupt rise in altitude from the east creates unique plant habitats due to the relationship between elevation and temperature. For every 1000 foot increase in elevation, the temperature decreases 5.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
