	Kentucky - Our Place in the World - Natural Regions
		The Cumberland Plateau is a section of the Appalachian Mountains that covers much of western West Virginia and eastern Kentucky, stretching in a band through Tennessee into northern Alabama.
		The Pennyroyal Plateau is part of a Mississippian Plateau, and is sometimes called "The Pennyrile Region" by Kentuckians.
		The Pennyroyal, or Pennyrile, is located in south-central and western Kentucky and is the largest physiographic region of our state.

	Kentucky (state) - MSN Encarta
		Kentucky is divided into three main geographical regions: the Gulf Coastal Plain in the west; the Interior Low Plateau in the centre, north and south; and the Appalachian (Cumberland) Plateau in the east.
		Western Kentucky forms part of the Gulf Coastal Plain; it is also known as the Jackson Purchase because General Andrew Jackson (later President of the United States) represented the federal government in its acquisition of the area from the Chickasaw people in 1818.
		The eastern quarter of Kentucky is part of the Appalachian (Cumberland) Plateau, which is underlain by sandstone, shale, and limestone.

		Regions of Kentucky, with the Pennyroyal plateau shown in light brown
		The Pennyroyal Plateau, or, as it is more commonly called in Kentucky, the Pennyrile, is a large area of the state that features rolling hills, caves, and karst topography in general.
		The Pottsville Escarpment is the transition zone from the central part of Kentucky to the higher and geologically younger Cumberland Plateau in the eastern part of the state.

	Science Fair Projects - Plateau
		Plateaus (or plâteaux), like mesas and buttes, are formed when land has been uplifted by tectonic activity and then eroded by wind or water.
		Flat-topped, sheer-sided plateaus, like the tepuis of Guiana, are formed when a section of land is uplifted that is topped with a layer of particularly resistant rock, and underlain by softer rock.
		Other undersea plateaus were formed by outpourings of flood basalts, and were never associated with continents; the vast Ontong Jaya Plateau of the western Pacific is an example of such.

		At the Pottsville Escarpment, which is the transition from the Cumberland Plateau to the Bluegrass in the north and the Pennyrile in the south, there are many spectacular cliffs, gorges, rockhouses, natural bridges, and waterfalls.
		The sedimentary rocks that compose both plateaus are of Mississippian and Pennsylvanian geological age, composed of near shore sediments washed westward from the original Appalachian Mountains.
		Though the plateau is not composed of true mountains, and nowhere is very high, it has some of the most rugged terrain in the eastern United States, and locally is called mountains.
