1- as we know that life started atleast 2.5 billion years back in the primitive oceans along with volcanic actions, electric discharge (lightning) which gave birth to one single land with no boundaries but different topographies. Due to the ongoing eruptions and earthquakes the land started getting broken into many large masses of land which r today known as continents
2-Edge of the Piedmont/Coastal Plain, where various rivers cross from hard bedrock to soft sediments, is marked by a zone of rapids and waterfalls called the Fall Line. ... That physical pattern of rapids/waterfalls blocked ships from sailing further upstream, limiting water-based transportation of the European colonists
3-Lumbering is one of the major occupations of the people in north america as coniferous forest cover about 60% of the total land area of the country and provide raw material for industries that produce paper, pulp, plywood, veneer.

1) The continental drift hypothesis was developed in the early part of the 20th century, mostly by Alfred Wegener. Wegener said that continents move around on Earth's surface and that they were once joined together as a single supercontinent. ... Find a map of the continents and cut each one out.
2) Edge of the Piedmont/Coastal Plain, where various rivers cross from hard bedrock to soft sediments, is marked by a zone of rapids and waterfalls called the Fall Line. ... That physical pattern of rapids/waterfalls blocked ships from sailing further upstream, limiting water-based transportation of the European colonists.
3) The coniferous forests have trees with soft wood so these trees are easy to fell. ... The coniferous forest are close to the saw mills. The coniferous forests are nearer to the industrial areas therefore there is a huge demand.
