Question

in approximately 1500, which geographical feature was found in areas settled by both northeastern and southeastern indigenous peoples?
a subtropical climate
large lakes
the appalachian mountains
a temperate climate

Explanation:

The Appalachian Mountains span both the northeastern and southeastern regions of what is now the United States. They were an important geographical feature for the indigenous peoples in those areas. A subtropical climate is more characteristic of the far - southeastern regions only. Large lakes are not common to both areas in a consistent way. A temperate climate is a broad term and not as specific as a distinct geographical feature like the Appalachian Mountains.

Answer:

C. the Appalachian Mountains
