Answer to Question 1

The region is a peripheral area because it is economically weaker than surround areas, and is dependent on decisions and policies established outside the region. It is dominated by Megalopolis to the south and west; is relatively isolated; and has a marginal agriculture, a lack of natural resources, and a lack of urbanization.

Answer to Question 2

Points that the students could bring up are:
The coastal river valleys flooded and became inlets and harbors for fishing.
Inland lakes and ponds left behind by glaciation also provided game animals and freshwater fish.
Most of the land in this region is the upper end of the Appalachians, and while the soil is poor, there is forestry.
