Pine’s center stands about 1,020 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,000 ft to 1,300 ft, a difference of 300 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Round Top, about 1,540 ft, 13 miles east.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Berea Sandstone through Venango Formation, undivided (shale), from the Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old.
The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 35×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Shale. Age: Late Devonian, 359 to 384 million years old. About 13 mi of the line.
Siltstone, shale. Age: Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Shale, black-shale. Age: Devonian, 359 to 422 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Sandstone, shale. Age: Devonian, 359 to 422 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Pine reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Pymatuning Swamp (historical), the Shenango, the Beaver, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 2,020 river miles.
Lake on the way: Pymatuning Swamp (historical).
970 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.

Pine has a warm-summer humid continental climate. Summer afternoons average 81° in July; winter nights fall to about 16° in January. A normal year brings about 62 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 44 inches of water.
On November 14 Pine normally reaches 50° and falls to 32°. The record high is 70°, in 1989; the record low 13°, in 1933. The most rain on this date, 1.22 in, fell in 1972.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1931 at Jamestown 2 NW, 10 miles south. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
