Culturally, most of the state is considered part of the Upland South, and the eastern third is part of Appalachia. Tennessee covers roughly 42,143 square miles (109,150\u00a0km<sup>2<\/sup>), of which 926 square miles (2,400\u00a0km), or 2.2%, is water. It is the 16th smallest state in land area. The state is about 440 miles (710\u00a0km) long from east to west and 112 miles (180\u00a0km) wide from north to south. Tennessee is geographically, culturally, economically, and legally divided into three Grand Divisions: East Tennessee, Middle Tennessee, and West Tennessee.<sup id=\"cite_ref-granddivisions_179-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> It borders eight other states: Kentucky and Virginia to the north, North Carolina to the east, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi on the south, and Arkansas and Missouri on the west. It is tied with Missouri as the state bordering the most other states. Tennessee is trisected by the Tennessee River, and its geographical center is in Murfreesboro. Nearly three\u2013fourths of the state is in the Central Time Zone, with most of East Tennessee on Eastern Time.<sup id=\"cite_ref-astor_181-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> The Tennessee River forms most of the division between Middle and West Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>Tennessee&#8217;s eastern boundary roughly follows the highest crests of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the Mississippi River forms its western boundary. Due to flooding of the Mississippi that has changed its path, the state&#8217;s western boundary deviates from the river in some places.<sup id=\"cite_ref-tnmag0115_183-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> The northern border was originally defined as 36\u00b030\u2032 north latitude and the Royal Colonial Boundary of 1665, but due to faulty surveys, begins north of this line in the east, and to the west, gradually veers north before shifting south onto the actual 36\u00b030\u2032 parallel at the Tennessee River in West Tennessee.<sup id=\"cite_ref-184\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> Uncertainties in the latter 19th century over the location of the state&#8217;s border with Virginia culminated in the U.S. Supreme Court settling the matter in 1893, which resulted in the division of Bristol between the two states. An 1818 survey erroneously placed Tennessee&#8217;s southern border 1 mile (1.6\u00a0km) south of the 35th parallel; Georgia legislators continue to dispute this placement, as it prevents Georgia from accessing the Tennessee River.<sup id=\"cite_ref-186\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Marked by a diversity of landforms and topographies, Tennessee features six principal physiographic provinces, from east to west, which are part of three larger regions: the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, and Cumberland Plateau, part of the Appalachian Mountains; the Highland Rim and Nashville Basin, part of the Interior Low Plateaus of the Interior Plains; and the East Gulf Coastal Plain, part of the Atlantic Plains.<sup id=\"cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMoore199455\u201356_188-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> Other regions include the southern tip of the Cumberland Mountains, the Western Tennessee Valley, and the Mississippi Alluvial Plain. The state&#8217;s highest point, which is also the third-highest peak in eastern North America, is Clingmans Dome, at 6,643 feet (2,025\u00a0m) above sea level. Its lowest point, 178 feet (54\u00a0m), is on the Mississippi River at the Mississippi state line in Memphis.<sup id=\"cite_ref-USGS_3-2\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> Tennessee has the most caves in the United States, with more than 10,000 documented.<\/p>\n<p>Geological formations in Tennessee largely correspond with the state&#8217;s topographic features, and, in general, decrease in age from east to west. The state&#8217;s oldest rocks are igneous strata more than 1 billion years old found in the Blue Ridge Mountains,<sup id=\"cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMoore199426\u201328_192-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> and the youngest deposits in Tennessee are sands and silts in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain and river valleys that drain into the Mississippi River. Tennessee is considered seismically active and contains two major seismic zones, although destructive earthquakes rarely occur there.<sup id=\"cite_ref-194\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> The Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone spans the entirety of East Tennessee from northwestern Alabama to southwestern Virginia, and is considered one of the most active zones in the Southeastern United States, frequently producing low-magnitude earthquakes.<sup id=\"cite_ref-196\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> The New Madrid Seismic Zone in the northwestern part of the state produced a series of devastating earthquakes between December 1811 and February 1812 that formed Reelfoot Lake near Tiptonville.<\/p>\n<p>The southwestern Blue Ridge Mountains lie within Tennessee&#8217;s eastern edge, and are divided into several subranges, namely the Great Smoky Mountains, Bald Mountains, Unicoi Mountains, Unaka Mountains, and Iron Mountains. These mountains, which average 5,000 feet (1,500\u00a0m) above sea level in Tennessee, contain some of the highest elevations in eastern North America. The state&#8217;s border with North Carolina roughly follows the highest peaks of this range, including Clingmans Dome. Most of the Blue Ridge area is protected by the Cherokee National Forest, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and several federal wilderness areas and state parks. The Appalachian Trail roughly follows the North Carolina state line before shifting westward into Tennessee.<sup id=\"cite_ref-199\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Stretching west from the Blue Ridge Mountains for about 55 miles (89\u00a0km) are the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, also known as the Tennessee Valley or Great Valley of East Tennessee. This area consists of linear parallel ridges separated by valleys that trend northeast to southwest, the general direction of the entire Appalachian range.<sup id=\"cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMoore199464_201-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> Most of these ridges are low, but some of the higher ones are commonly called mountains. Numerous tributaries join to form the Tennessee River in the Ridge and Valley region.<sup id=\"cite_ref-physiomap_202-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The Cumberland Plateau rises to the west of the Tennessee Valley, with an average elevation of 2,000 feet (610\u00a0m). This landform is part of the larger Appalachian Plateau and consists mostly of flat-topped tablelands.<sup id=\"cite_ref-npsgeo_204-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> The plateau&#8217;s eastern edge is relatively distinct, but the western escarpment is irregular, containing several long, crooked stream valleys separated by rocky cliffs with numerous waterfalls. The Cumberland Mountains, with peaks above 3,500 feet (1,100\u00a0m), comprise the northeastern part of the Appalachian Plateau in Tennessee, and the southeastern part of the Cumberland Plateau is divided by the Sequatchie Valley.<sup id=\"cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMoore199468\u201372_205-1\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> The Cumberland Trail traverses the eastern escarpment of the Cumberland Plateau and Cumberland Mountains.<\/p>\n<p>West of the Cumberland Plateau is the Highland Rim, an elevated plain that surrounds the Nashville Basin, a geological dome. Both of these physiographic provinces are part of the Interior Low Plateaus of the larger Interior Plains. The Highland Rim is Tennessee&#8217;s largest geographic region, and is often split into eastern and western halves.<sup id=\"cite_ref-FOOTNOTESafford186981\u201382,_103_208-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> The Eastern Highland Rim is characterized by relatively level plains dotted by rolling hills, and the Western Highland Rim and western Nashville Basin are covered with uneven rounded knobs with steep ravines separated by meandering streams. The Nashville Basin has rich, fertile farmland,<sup id=\"cite_ref-FOOTNOTESafford186997_210-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> and porous limestone bedrock very close to the surface underlies both the Nashville Basin and Eastern Highland Rim. This results in karst that forms numerous caves, sinkholes, depressions, and underground streams.<sup id=\"cite_ref-mooredrumm_212-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>West of the Highland Rim is the Western Tennessee Valley, which consists of about 10 miles (16\u00a0km) in width of hilly land along the banks of the Tennessee River. West of this is the Gulf Coastal Plain, a broad feature that begins at the Gulf of Mexico and extends northward into southern Illinois.<sup id=\"cite_ref-FOOTNOTESafford1869110-111_214-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> The plain begins in the east with low rolling hills and wide stream valleys, known as the West Tennessee Highlands, and gradually levels out to the west. It ends at steep loess bluffs overlooking the Mississippi embayment, the westernmost physiographic division of Tennessee, which is part of the larger Mississippi Alluvial Plain.<sup id=\"cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMoore199482\u201384_216-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> This flat 10 to 14 miles (16 to 23\u00a0km) wide strip is commonly known as the Mississippi Bottoms, and contains lowlands, floodplains, and swamps.<sup id=\"cite_ref-218\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Tennessee is drained by three major rivers, the Tennessee, Cumberland, and Mississippi. The Tennessee River begins at the juncture of the Holston and French Broad rivers in Knoxville, flows southwest to Chattanooga, and exits into Alabama before reemerging in the western part of the state and flowing north into Kentucky. Its major tributaries include the Clinch, Little Tennessee, Hiwassee, Sequatchie, Elk, Beech, Buffalo, Duck, and Big Sandy rivers.<sup id=\"cite_ref-loc39_219-1\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> The Cumberland River flows through the north-central part of the state, emerging in the northeastern Highland Rim, passing through Nashville, turning northwest to Clarksville, and entering Kentucky east of the Tennessee River. Its principal branches in Tennessee are the Obey, Caney Fork, Stones, Harpeth, and Red rivers.<sup id=\"cite_ref-tdeccumberland_220-1\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> The Mississippi River drains nearly all of West Tennessee. Its tributaries are the Obion, Forked Deer, Hatchie, Loosahatchie, and Wolf rivers.<sup id=\"cite_ref-tdecms_221-1\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operate many hydroelectric dams on the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers and their tributaries, which form large reservoirs throughout the state.<\/p>\n<p>About half the state&#8217;s land area is in the Tennessee Valley drainage basin of the Tennessee River. The Cumberland River basin covers the northern half of Middle Tennessee and a small portion of East Tennessee.<sup id=\"cite_ref-tdeccumberland_220-2\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> A small part of north-central Tennessee is in the Green River watershed. All three of these basins are tributaries of the Ohio River watershed. Most of West Tennessee is in the Lower Mississippi River watershed.<sup id=\"cite_ref-tdecms_221-2\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> The entirety of the state is in the Mississippi River watershed, except for a small sliver near the southeastern corner traversed by the Conasauga River, which is part of the Mobile Bay watershed.<\/p>\n<p>Tennessee is within a temperate deciduous forest biome commonly known as the Eastern Deciduous Forest. It has eight ecoregions: the Blue Ridge, Ridge and Valley, Central Appalachian, Southwestern Appalachian, Interior Low Plateaus, Southeastern Plains, Mississippi Valley Loess Plains, and Mississippi Alluvial Plain regions.<sup id=\"cite_ref-fap20_226-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> Tennessee is the most biodiverse inland state, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most biodiverse national park,<sup id=\"cite_ref-climatechange_228-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> and the Duck River is the most biologically diverse waterway in North America.<sup id=\"cite_ref-230\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> The Nashville Basin is renowned for its diversity of flora and fauna. Tennessee is home to 340 species of birds, 325 freshwater fish species, 89 mammals, 77 amphibians, and 61 reptiles.<sup id=\"cite_ref-climatechange_228-1\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Forests cover about 52% of Tennessee&#8217;s land area, with oak\u2013hickory the dominant type.Appalachian oak\u2013pine and cove hardwood forests are found in the Blue Ridge Mountains and Cumberland Plateau, and bottomland hardwood forests are common throughout the Gulf Coastal Plain.<sup id=\"cite_ref-ut95_233-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup>Pine forests are also found throughout the state. The Southern Appalachian spruce\u2013fir forest in the highest elevations of the Blue Ridge Mountains is considered the second-most endangered ecosystem in the country.<sup id=\"cite_ref-234\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup> Some of the last remaining large American chestnut trees grow in the Nashville Basin and are being used to help breed blight-resistant trees. Middle Tennessee is home to many unusual and rare ecosystems known as cedar glades, which occur in areas with shallow limestone bedrock that is largely barren of overlying soil and contain many endemic plant species.<sup id=\"cite_ref-236\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Common mammals found throughout Tennessee include white-tailed deer, red and gray foxes, coyotes, raccoons, opossums, wild turkeys, rabbits, and squirrels. Black bears are found in the Blue Ridge Mountains and on the Cumberland Plateau. Tennessee has the third-highest number of amphibian species, with the Great Smoky Mountains home to the most salamander species in the world. The state ranks second in the nation for the diversity of its freshwater fish species.<sup id=\"cite_ref-natureserve_238-0\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Most of Tennessee has a humid subtropical climate, with the exception of some of the higher elevations in the Appalachians, which are classified as a cooler mountain temperate or humid continental climate. The Gulf of Mexico is the dominant factor in Tennessee&#8217;s climate, with winds from the south responsible for most of the state&#8217;s annual precipitation.
