A region's vegetation is LEAST likely to affect which of the following characteristics of a place?
ohaa [14]

A region's vegetation is LEAST likely to affect the preservation of folk culture.

That is because the presence of vegetation in a given land, while it is featured in the local people's culture (represented in their pictorial arts or in their cuisine, for example), does not necessarily endanger the <u>preservation</u> of the culture as a whole.

However, if the economy and/or the agriculture are reliant on this type of vegetation, a change in the vegetation can have direct consequences on these activities. Similarly, if a plant is important in the people's diet, they are more likely to gather around the areas where the plant grows (distribution of population). And if the plant is less available, the population may stop thriving, reproduce less, and maybe emigrate (size of population).

the appalachian mountains are ___ of the rocky mountains north south east west? a. north b. south c. east d. west
lidiya [134]

The correct answer is - c. east.

The Appalachian Mountains are located in the eastern part of the United States, and since the Rocky Mountains are in the western part of the country, it puts them east of the Rocky Mountains.

The Appalachians are a very old mountain range, they are dated to about 480 million years ago when they formed during the Ordovician Period. At their peak, these mountains reached heights similar to the Rocky Mountains and the Alps in Europe, but because of the natural erosion they have shrunk and nowadays are much smaller in height.
