Question

What is the relationship between New York’s physical features and the way we use land

Answer 1

Answer:

The relationship is very close. The physical features of the land largely determine its land use.

Explanation:

For example, downstate New York is characterized by being a very good natural harbor. This prompted the development of the City of New York from colonial times.

Upstate New York is different. It has a continental climate with hot summers and harsh winters. It is relatively good farmland, but not as good as the farmland that we find in the Midwest. For this reason, Upstate New York is characterized by forests, and sparse rural communities, instead of large sections of farmland.
