Appalachian or Smoky

Answer to Question 2

At the start, one could note the existence of a parent or base climate that led to the development of the primary soil type, which then resulted in the natural vegetation for the area. The natural vegetation would be that which have inhabited the area since the climate and soil type was ideal for its growth. First, the affects of climate on vegetation are evident, in the knowledge of one pattern will tell us the pattern of the other. By looking at the figures outlined, the patterns are clearly defined in the ways that show clear similarities between climate and vegetation. The figures are very similar in that each climate region is designated almost by a specific vegetation type. Finally, when you account for the soil composition within the given area, you could almost overlay all three figures and see that each soil type category fits into a specific vegetation and climatic zone as well. These three individual influences are dependent upon each other. The vegetation is virtually dependent upon the climate and soil combinations.
