Answer to Question 1

The region has a humid subtropical climate, prone to storms that produce heavy rains. The flat areas of central lowlands in particular are prone to tornadoes.

Answer to Question 2

Agriculture is focused in the central lowlands. The upland areas of the Ozarks and Appalachians are not as well suited to support large farms. The economies of these areas tend to focus on mining and forestry. There are also large livestock operations in both North Carolina and Arkansas.
