The natural boundary that separates the Piedmont Region from the Coastal Plain Region is "The Fall Line."
The two true statements about the Fall Line are:
1. It makes the northern edge of the Piedmont Region.
2. Many cities have developed along it.
To determine which statements about the Fall Line are true, let's analyze each option:
1. It makes the northern edge of the Piedmont Region.
2. Rivers widen and move more slowly south of it.
3. Many cities have developed along it.
4. It contains large numbers of swamps.
Based on the provided options, we need to select two statements that are true.
To determine the answer, we can eliminate statements that are clearly false. For example, statement 1 is duplicated, so we can remove it as a possible answer.
Next, we can focus on the remaining options. Statement 2 is supported by the fact that the Fall Line represents a geological boundary where rivers encounter more resistant rock formations, causing them to widen and flow more slowly. This statement highlights a key characteristic of the Fall Line, so we can consider it as a true statement.
Now, we move on to statement 3. Many cities in the United States have indeed developed along the Fall Line. This is because the Fall Line historically served as an important transportation and industrial corridor due to the access it provided between the Coastal Plain and the mountains. Therefore, statement 3 is also a true statement.
As for statement 4, there is no evidence provided to support it, nor is it a widely recognized characteristic of the Fall Line. Without any indication of swamps being associated with the Fall Line, it is reasonable to consider this statement as false.
In summary, the two true statements about the Fall Line are:
1. Rivers widen and move more slowly south of it.
2. Many cities have developed along it.
