	Region
		All three counties are part of the Bluegrass Region, bordered by the Ohio River on the north and west, and by a ring of hills known as the Knobs on the west, south, and east.
		The western end of this region is known as the Cumberland Plateau which extends west to the Pottsville Escarpment and the eastern Knobs, which divide eastern Kentucky from the rolling hills of the Bluegrass.
		It is located in the Outer Bluegrass region of the state.

	SCSB#395: MLRA 121
		The Bluegrass physiographic region of Kentucky lies between the Ohio River valley in the north and the Knobs physiographic region in the south (Fig.
		Soils in the Bluegrass Region are mainly Hapludalfs and Paleudalfs.
		The outer edges of the Bluegrass region are characteristically lowlands with little relief being developed on shales of Mississippian and Devonian ages.

	Kentucky Physiographic Regions - Bluegrass
		The Bluegrass region of Kentucky is located near the center of the state and is bordered by the Ohio River in the north and west and a ring of hills known as the Knobs in the west, south, and east.
		The Bluegrass region was the most quickly settled part of the state and now is home to about half the state's population.
		The details of the introduction of bluegrass to the area are obscure, but it is probably of Eurasian origin and arrived in central Kentucky before the first European settlers.

	Digestion
		Note that the radula in the real apple snail is more or less covered by the radula knobs that bend and stretch the radula to get the radula teeth moving towards and away from each other in order to grasp the food.
		When the radula knobs are moved from each other, the radula is bend and stretched, this spreading the teeth on it, which provides the grasp function.
		Roughly it can be in five regions: the intake region (mouth and buccal cavity with radula and jaws), the pre-digestion region (oesophagus with salivary glands, lateral pouchs and crop), digestion region (three chambered stomach with the associated digestive gland), uptake region (intestine) and the excretion region (rectum and anus).

	Digestion
		The buccal cavity, a muscular cavity with a set of calcareous jaws, 2 radula knobs and the radula (rasp tongue), is situated behind the mouth opening.
		Roughly it can be in five regions: the intake region (mouth and buccal cavity with radula and jaws), the pre-digestion region (oesophagus with salivary glands, lateral pouchs and crop), digestion region (three chambered stomach with the associated digestive gland), uptake region (intestine) and the excretion region (rectum and anus).
		The buccal mass itself lies in the anterior part of the cephalic hemocoel (a large vascular sinus or cavity).

	THEMIS: Image Detail
		In this "big picture" view the Cydonia region is seen to be covered with dozens of interesting knobs and mesas that are similar in many ways to the knob named the "face" - so many in fact that it requires care to discover the "face" among this jumble of knobs and hills.
		Many of the knobs in Cydonia, including the "face", have several flat ledges partway up the hill slopes.
		Since that time the Mars Orbiter Camera on the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft has provided detailed views of this hill that clearly show that it is a normal geologic feature with slopes and ridges carved by eons of wind and downslope motion due to gravity.

	Mississippian Plateau or Pennyrile Region
		The Karst terraine of the Mississippian Plateau occurs because the bedrock in the eastern and southern parts of the region is dominated by thick deposits of Mississippian-age limestones.
		The Mississippian Plateau or Pennyrile Region, shown in orange on the map, consists of a limestone plain characterized by tens of thousands of sink holes, sinking streams, streamless valleys, springs, and caverns.
		Another interesting feature of the western Mississippian Plateau Region is the geologic district known as the Fluorspar District (it is not a physiographic district).

	Congressman Ben Chandler - Lincoln
		Stretched from west to east across Lincoln County is the Knobs region of Kentucky; its hills range from one to two hundred feet in height and are mostly covered in woodland, which supported a lumbering industry throughout the middle to late 1800s.
		The rest of the county lies in the Pennyroyal region, dominated by broad plateau-like areas and ridges separated by deep fertile valleys and streams.
		was named for Gen. Benjamin Lincoln, a military commander in the Revolutionary War who was a prisoner of war in British hands when the county was formed.

		Ozark also refer to a region of people with a distinct cultural, architectural, and dialect shared by the people that live on the plateau.
		Summits (knobs) are found wherever there is a resistant rock outcrop; the Boston Mountains are the highest and most rugged section, with several peaks more than 2,000 ft (610 m) high.
		The scenic Ozarks, with forests, streams, and mineral springs, are a popular tourist region, and the construction of summer homes there has grown.

	USGS Professional Paper 1151-H: The Geology of Kentucky: Physiography
		The names of some regions, such as the Knobs and the Plateaus, are descriptive; other regions, such as the Bluegrass, Jackson Purchase, and Western Coal Field, are not named for their landforms but are nevertheless well-recognized geographic areas with common socioeconomic histories related to their natural resources.
		The plateau borders all of the other physiographic regions in Kentucky except the Bluegrass, from which it is separated by the narrow belt of The Knobs.
		Locally, the hilly borderland between the Mississippian Plateau and the Jackson Purchase has been known as "the breaks." Much of this region has been flooded by damming of the Kentucky and Cumberland Rivers, forming the area known as the Land Between the Lakes.

	OzarksWatch The Ozarks as a Region by Milton Rafferty
		Great relief and steep slopes are typical of the rugged knobs in the Saint Francois Mountains in eastern Missouri, the flat-topped summits and steep valleys in the Boston Mountains of Arkansas, and the rugged, dissected terrain in the White River Hills, Osage-Gasconade Hills and Courtois Hills.
		The Ozarks may be divided into several topographic subregions: the Saint Francois Mountains, the Boston Mountains, the Springfield Plain, the White River Hills, the Osage Gasconade Hills, the Courtois Hills, and two loess-covered border areas along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers ( Map 1).
		Much of the upland originally was in prairie grass and resembled the plains region in eastern Kansas.

	Southern Leopard Frog Page
		The southern leopard frog occurs in abundance in all of the western part of the state, but sparingly in the knobs or the southern bluegrass.
		This species avoids the Ordivician limestone of the bluegrass region and the steep topography of eastern Kentucky.
		Ranging in length from 3 to 5 inches, this frog can be distinguished from the northern leopard frog by its light spot in the center of its tympanum, its longer pointed head, and only a few dark spots on the side of the body.

	Natural Resources: Geology and Geography
		The western end of this region is known as the Cumberland Plateau which extends west to the Pottsville Escarpment and the eastern Knobs, which divide eastern Kentucky from the rolling hills of the Bluegrass.
		The manner in which the sandstones weather and are eroded along the escarpment results in sheer cliffs, steep-walled gorges, rockshelters, waterfalls, natural bridges and arches, caves, and some of the most scenic areas in Kentucky.
		The escarpment is stepped in south-central Kentucky because several thick, resistant sandstones are separated by less resistant shales.

	Vixen Mounts are excellent for customizing your telescope system.
		This mount body comes fully equipped: metal setting circles, illuminated polar axis scope with reticle for both hemispheres, bubble-level, fine adjustment knobs for altitude/azimuth, and a 3.7-kg (8-lb) counterweight are standard.
		For observation and astrophotography in the region close to the equator, the use of the half-pillar is recommended to prevent the weight-shaft from colliding with the tripod.
		Proving that the goals of stability and portability are not mutually exclusive in a German equatorial mount, the GP mount's aluminum die-cast body is strong and light.

	8th INTERNATIONAL KIMBERLITE CONFERENCE (8IKC)
		Exploration in the region was hampered by the effects of the Tyrrell Sea which has extensively reworked the glacial deposits at surface, scouring the abundant bedrock knobs clean, leaving a thin veneer of sand and gravel lag or clayey silt and spreading indicator minerals widely.
		The basement rocks belong to the Superior Craton of Archean age, with tonalites having been dated at 2.8 Ga. However, remnants of a Mesoarchean craton have been recently identified.
