	Pennines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pennines constitute the main watershed in northern England, dividing the eastern and western parts of the country.
		The geology of the Pennines is dominated by extensive deposits of gritstone and limestone, which in the North Pennines has led to the formation of large underground cave systems and watercourses, known as "gills" and "pots" in the Yorkshire dialect prevalent on the eastern side.
		The landscape of the Pennines is in general constituted by upland areas of high moors indented by the more fertile valleys of the region's various rivers.
