multiple choice 10 points
which city is paired with the geographical feature that directly contributed to its growth?
san francisco & the rocky mountains
pittsburgh & the hudson river
cleveland & the atlantic coastal plain
new orleans & the mississippi river

Explanation:

New Orleans is located near the Mississippi River which was crucial for its growth in terms of trade and transportation. Cleveland is on the Atlantic Coastal Plain but the plain is not as directly growth - contributing as a major river. Pittsburgh is near the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers which form the Ohio River, not the Hudson River. San Francisco is near the Pacific Ocean and not directly related to the Rocky Mountains for its growth. The Mississippi River was key for New Orleans' development.

Answer:

New Orleans & the Mississippi River
