Question

Old forge and watertown, located at nearly the same latitude in new york state, have very different landscapes. which factor is primarily responsible for these landscape differences?

Answer 1

Bedrock structure is primarily responsible for landscape differences.

Bedrock lies beneath the surface materials such as soil, gravel, sand and other sediments. It is a deposit of hard, consolidated, tightly-bound solid rock. It is the parent material for unconsolidated material and soil above thus influencing landscapes.
