Answer: 1. D / 2. C / 3. C / 4. B, C

1-Farming

2-Peaches

3-The Coastal Plain

4 - Rivers widen and move more slowly south of it; and Many cities have developed along it

Explanation:

1-It is characterized as an agricultural region. The main agricultural products are cereals, such as rice, corn, potatoes, vegetables, sugar beets, and grapes to make wine, fruit, fodder and dairy products.

2-In that area the soil is sandy and most crops do not grow, however, peaches thrive.

3-In prehistoric times, this area was covered by the ocean. With the passage of time, large quantities of seashells and other remains of marine life sank to the bottom of the ocean. These very tight remains became limestone. Over time, rivers and streams deposited large amounts of land, clay and rocks causing miles of feet of sediment to cover the ocean floor.

4-To the south, the rivers become wider, deeper and move more slowly, which makes it possible to navigate large vessels. This was very important, since the main settlements, later cities, grew along the Fall Line.
