    • 90 %

    • 40%

    • 60%

    Correct Answer
    A. 90 %
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 90%. This means that a significant majority of native Americans were impacted by death due to the Columbian Exchange. The Columbian Exchange refers to the widespread transfer of plants, animals, culture, human populations, technology, and ideas between the Americas and the Old World (Europe, Africa, and Asia) following Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas in 1492. This exchange introduced new diseases to the native American populations, such as smallpox, measles, and influenza, to which they had no immunity, leading to devastating consequences and high mortality rates.

    Correct Answer
    A. Disease
    Explanation
    The negative effect of the Columbian Exchange was the introduction of diseases to the Americas. When Europeans arrived in the Americas, they brought diseases such as smallpox, measles, and influenza, which the Native American populations had no immunity to. As a result, these diseases spread rapidly and caused devastating epidemics, leading to a significant decline in the indigenous population. This had a profound and long-lasting impact on the Americas, altering the social, cultural, and political landscape of the region.

    • Coastal Plain

    • Mountains

    • Outer Banks

    Correct Answer
    A. Coastal Plain
    Explanation
    The Coastal Plain region of NC is the most suitable for farming because it has a flat terrain and fertile soil, which is ideal for agriculture. This region also has a longer growing season and milder climate compared to the other regions, allowing for a wider variety of crops to be cultivated. Additionally, the Coastal Plain has access to water sources such as rivers and estuaries, which are crucial for irrigation and transportation of agricultural goods.

    How have NC's geographic features affected the movement of goods and people?

    • Mountain ranges and lack of usable ports restricted the movement of goods and people

    • Warm- water ports and small mountain ranges encouraged the movement of people

    • Deep rivers and fertile land help NC develop strong commerce (trade)

    • Farming was important in every region of the state

    Correct Answer
    A. Mountain ranges and lack of usable ports restricted the movement of goods and people
    Explanation
    The presence of mountain ranges in North Carolina has limited the ease of transportation and movement of goods and people. Mountains create barriers that are difficult to traverse, making it challenging to establish efficient transportation routes. Additionally, the lack of usable ports further hinders trade and movement, as it limits access to waterways for shipping goods. These geographical features have therefore restricted the movement of goods and people in North Carolina.

Canada shares a long border with the United States to the north, while Mexico shares a border to the south. However, Chile is located in South America and is separated from the United States by several countries, including Peru and Argentina.
