Rangarira ndima iri pasi apa uye ipapo pindura mubvunzo gare gare mumutauro mumwe chetewo sechikamu:  Passage: The Tidewater inzvimbo iri pedyo nemhenderekedzo yegungwa iri pakati pemhenderekedzo yegungwa reAtlantic nomutsetse wokudonha. Inosanganisira Eastern Shore uye makungwa makuru eChesapeake Bay. Piedmont ibwe rine matombo ane sedimentary uye ane igneous akaumbwa kumabvazuva kwemakomo ayo akaumbwa munguva yeMesozoic. Nharaunda yacho, inozivikanwa nokuda kweivhu rayo rakaoma revhu, inobatanidza Makomo okuSouthwest akapoteredza Charlottesville. Makomo eBlue Ridge inzvimbo ye physiographic yeAppalachian Mountains ine nzvimbo dzakakwirira kwazvo mudunhu, yakanyanya kukwirira iri Mount Rogers pa5,729 tsoka (1,746 m). Ridge uye Valley nharaunda iri kumadokero kwemakomo uye inosanganisira Great Appalachian Valley. Nharaunda yacho ine carbonate rock yakavakirwa uye inosanganisira Massanutten Mountain. Nzvimbo yeCumberland neCumberland Mountains dziri kumaodzanyemba kwakadziva kumadokero kweVirginia, kumaodzanyemba kweAllegheny Plateau. Munharaunda iyi, nzizi dzinoyerera dzichienda kuchamhembe kwakadziva kumadokero, dziine dendrite drainage system, dzichipinda muRwizi rweOhio basin. Virginia Seismic Zone haina kumbobvira yaita kudengenyeka kwenyika. Kudengenyeka kwenyika hakumbowaniki kwakakura kupfuura 4.5 pamwero, nokuti Virginia iri kure nemipendero yeNorth American Plate. Kudengenyeka kwenyika kukuru kupfuura zvose, kunofungidzirwa kuva kwakakura 5.9, kwakaitika muna 1897 pedyo neBlacksburg. Kudengenyeka kwenyika kwakakura 5.8 kwakarova pakati peVirginia musi waAugust 23, 2011, pedyo neMineral. Kudengenyeka kwacho kwakanzwika kure kure seToronto, Atlanta neFlorida. Makore ane mamiriyoni 35 akapfuura, chimwe chadenga chakakanganisa nzvimbo yava kunzi kumabvazuva kweVirginia. Mugumisiro weChesapeake Bay impact crater ungatsanangura kuti kudengenyeka kwenyika uye kudonha kunosangana nenharaunda yacho. Kuchera marasha kunoitika mumatunhu matatu emakomo pamibhedha yemarasha 45 yakasiyana pedyo nemabeseni eMesozoic. Matani anodarika mamiriyoni 64 ezvimwe zvinhu zvisingashandisi mafuta, zvakadai seslate, kyanite, jecha, kana mavhu, akacherwawo muVirginia muna 2018. Dombo recarbonate rehurumende rakazadzwa nemapako anopfuura 4.000, gumi ayo akazarukira vashanyi, kubatanidza Luray Caverns yakakurumbira neSkyline Caverns.  Mubvunzo: Kudengenyeka kwenyika kwakasimba sei kusingawanzoitiki muVirginia?
