Yes, let's clarify the statements regarding the Fall Line:
A. **It makes the northern edge of the Piedmont Region** - This statement is **false**. The Fall Line traditionally marks the boundary between the relatively flat coastal plains and the more rugged terrain of the Piedmont, not the northern edge of the Piedmont itself.
B. **Rivers widen and move more slowly south of it** - This statement is **true**. South of the Fall Line, rivers are typically wider and have slower currents because they flow through the flatter coastal plains.
C. **Many cities have developed along it** - This statement is **true**. The Fall Line has historically been an important site for settlement and the development of cities, as it often provides waterfalls or rapid water that can be harnessed for power and transportation.
D. **It contains large numbers of swamps** - This statement is **false**. While there may be wetland areas near the coastal plains, the Fall Line itself is not characterized by large numbers of swamps.
Therefore, the correct answers are indeed B and C. Thank you for your patience!
