By: Janus, Ellie, Weiton
The major land forms are: The Appalachian, savannas and
swamps are the major land forms. The Appalachian

The trees in the Forest were used in the past by cutting the
trees and making it in to lumber and using the lumber to
build houses. Back then coal was used to heat houses and
produce electricity.

region could have more dangerous weather like floods, and,
hurricanes, and snowstorms. How were natural resources
used today? Also today coal heats up homes and produces
electricity. Today oil is used to make petrochemicals that
means chemicals made from oil.
What are geography features that make this region different
from the other regions? This because their not use to the
snow.
What is the elevation in the south east region?
The elevation in the south east is sea level to 3,100 meters.

Who were the early settlers in the region? The early settlers in
Louisiana was the Canadian who called them selves the
Acadians and the French.
The early settlers in Richmond Virginia were the Iroquois.
The early settlers in Raleigh North Carolina were the Italians
then to the Spanish but then settled with the British colonist.
Why was the Richmond Virginia settled?
Richmond Virginia was settled because they wanted to grow
crops and raise money.
What impacts the population in the southeast?
Jobs because maybe people lose their jobs so
they can’t pay for their home then they lose
their home but then they get a job in the
southeast and then can buy a home. Also
because it is not healthy for senior citizens
to stay in the cold so then they would move
south. The weather impacts the south east
because of all the damage of what had
happed to their houses.
What is the population density of your region
The population density for Richmond Virginia
is 3404 people per square mile. the
population density was 2409.2 people per
square mile for Raleigh north Carolina How
has the population density affected how
people live, work, and use transportation in
your region?

Population density affects peoples life work
and use of transportation because if there is a
lot of people per square mile and a new job is
opening and everyone is signing up then
most people won't get the job and they will
get angry. Population density affects people
transportation because everyone would be
crowded and there would be a lot of traffic
and accidents because everyone is rushing.
Population density also affects people’s life because
if you live in a apartment then there might be kids
who make a lot of noise and you can't take a nap or
work.
How does the population affect the use of natural
resources?
The amount of population density affects natural
resources because they cut down trees to make
wood lumber, pencils, paper, and desks. We also
sometimes use water power but mostly not
anymore because we have electricity. We also use
plants to make spices.

The server weather found in the region are
hurricanes, floods, tornados and snow storms.
Snow storms are sever weather because they
wouldn’t have the right materials and clothes for
this snowstorm, because they are used to the hot
areas.
Snow storms are formed by when to different
temperatures of air clash together.


When these two airs meet it is called a front.
If cold air advances and pushes away the warm air,
it forms a cold front. When the cold are has more
the cold air goes south and the hot air goes north
and it mixes creating a snow storm. Hurricanes
only form over warm ocean water of 80°F or
warmer. The air must cool off quickly the higher
you go. Also, the wind must be blowing in the
same direction and at the same speed to force the
air upward from the ocean surface.
What is the climate in the southeast region?
The climate in the Southeast region are seasons:
summer you would expect hot weather and sun.
In the spring you would expect still warm weather
and sun but possibly some clouds and rain.
In the fall you would expect a little colder weather
but still warm and clouds and sometimes some
rain. Last you would expect colder weather and
maybe some frost and clouds

What instruments are used to predict
hurricanes? you use the safer Simpson Scale
to predict the weather. The safer Simpson
Scales measures the winds speed of a
hurricane. How does your region’s climate
affect the natural resources and economy of
your region? It will affect it because if there is
a snow storm all the food and plants will die
and if it rains and you live in wood house you
will have leaks.

How are resources used to make a living you
could grow crops and raise animals . Also
you could work in the coal mine or work in
the oil rig also you could work in the saw mill

in your region over time?
In the south east the industry's with early
settlers was growing crops and raising
animals. Now the industry's have changed
over time by more progress because high
technology as if farming back then you had to
farm by hand now a days you could use
tracktors and other farming equipment.


They could had cut down trees and then
make it in to lumber to make houses and
then they could use the wood to make fires.
Also they could wood and water wheels to
heat up houses make fires and use it to cook.

goods, foods, and people.
