how are southern appalachian (u.s.a) and southwestern caucasus (russia) forests similar?
they are both southern hemisphere deciduous forests.
they are both northern hemisphere, warm - temperate forests.
they are both northern hemisphere, boreal forests.
they actually share no similarities.

Explanation:

First Question (Why is there limited agriculture in Eastern Europe?)

To determine why there is limited agriculture in Eastern Europe, we analyze each option:

• "Lack of native farmers" is incorrect as Eastern Europe has native populations capable of farming.
• "Lack of government support" is not the primary reason for limited agriculture; governments in the region do support agriculture to some extent.
• "Lack of proper soils and favorable climates" is correct. Eastern Europe has regions with poor soil quality (e.g., some acidic or infertile soils) and climates that can be harsh (e.g., cold winters, less favorable rainfall patterns for certain crops), which limit agricultural productivity.
• "Lack of natural minerals and adequate sea lanes" is incorrect as agriculture is more dependent on soil and climate than minerals or sea lanes.

To find the similarity between these forests, we analyze each option:

• "They are both Southern Hemisphere deciduous forests" is incorrect as both regions are in the Northern Hemisphere.
• "They are both Northern Hemisphere, warm - temperate forests" is correct. The Southern Appalachian region has warm - temperate forests, and the Southwestern Caucasus also has warm - temperate forest ecosystems, and both are in the Northern Hemisphere.
• "They are both Northern Hemisphere, boreal forests" is incorrect. Boreal forests are typically found in colder, more northern regions (e.g., taiga), while these two regions have warmer - temperate forest types.
• "They actually share no similarities" is incorrect as they do share the characteristic of being Northern Hemisphere warm - temperate forests.

Answer:

C. Lack of proper soils and favorable climates
