1. Thank you for not asking what exit we live off of. That's what I was expecting.

2. As it has been noted, this isn't really only a NJ question.

The Piedmont crosses northern New Jersey in a belt southeast of the Highlands. About 20 miles wide, this area covers only about 1/5 of the state. About three-fifths of the state's population is located in the Piedmont area. The Piedmont includes the industrial cities of Elizabeth, Paterson, Jersey City, and Newark. These cities are important industrial cities in large part due to the many large rivers in the region including the Hudson, the Passaic, the Ramapo and the Raritan.

The Appalachian Ridge and Valley Region is a mountainous area in the northwest corner of the state. Shale and limestone formation can be found in the valley along with dairy cattle and apple orchards. It includes the Kittatinny Mountains and several valleys. The Mountains run parallel to the state's northwestern border and the Delaware Water Gap cuts through the mountains to form one of the most scenic areas in the east. The Appalachian Valley lies southeast of the Kittatinny Mountains. Herds of dairy cattle graze on the grassy slopes of the valley and farmers raise apples and vegetables.
