In the next section physiographic regions of Vermont the book talks about the different types of stone in Vermont. Along with the six different sections of the rocks found. Vermont being in the location it is has had little problem with tectonic plate shift. Vermont is rich with fossils and they break down to form lime. Each section of Vermont has a different type of rock formation. It talks about the location of the six sections as well as where they were in the supercontinent Pangea. Vermont is rich with igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
In this portion of the book it talks about different kinds of birds. the killdeer bird is one of few birds to nest in open fields or spaces. Their eggs are nearly invisible. The bluebird is the smallest thrush in Vermont. In less dense woodlands, many of Vermont's vocal and "attractive" birds reside. A northers strike is one of the most skillful fliers in small spaces. The bugle call of a jay is often warning that a predator is near. This section then proceeds to give many facts on random birds.
