Detailed explanation-4: -COASTAL PLAIN (TIDEWATER) A low-lying Coastal Plain spans the eastern seaboard of the United States from New Jersey to Georgia, extending westward from the ocean to a point where the flatness of the landscape ends; in Virginia the terrain rises 300 feet above sea level.

Detailed explanation-5: -Today Tidewater is home to numerous military bases, including the world’s largest naval base, Norfolk Naval Base. Hampton Road’s natural deep water harbors encouraged the development of world class shipyards, Newport News Shipbuilding and Norfolk Naval Shipyard, and international maritime trade abounds.
