Why do they say 'live oaks' in the South?

Sure looks like it's strong as an ox!

I've often wondered in Southern-set novels, why do they say "Live Oak"....if they're describing for ex a driveway, they'll say "It was a curving lane, with live oaks all along it." Are there lots of dead oaks in the South?
