Question

1. the relationship between georgia’s deep-water ports and its interstate highway system is best described as:

a. competing systems where the ports mainly handle domestic goods and the highways handle international goods.
b. a cooperative system where the highways transport goods unloaded at the ports to inland distribution centers.
c. two separate systems that rarely interact with one another.
d. both systems primarily support the tourism sector of the economy.

Explanation:

• Option A is incorrect because ports typically handle international goods and highways handle domestic distribution, not the other way around.
• Option B is correct. Georgia’s deep - water ports (like Savannah) unload international goods, and the interstate highway system cooperatively transports these goods to inland distribution centers for further domestic distribution.
• Option C is incorrect as ports and highways in a region like Georgia do interact to move goods.
• Option D is incorrect because these systems mainly support the trade and freight sector, not primarily tourism.

Answer:

B. A cooperative system where the highways transport goods unloaded at the ports to inland distribution centers.
