Erie Canal Legacy

Which choice best reflects New York State’s Erie Canal Legacy?

• Niagara Falls can be studied simultaneously as a geomorphic feature, international boundary site, tourism destination, and hydroelectric resource.
• The Erie Canal’s significance comes less from its physical survival in original form than from its long-term effect on trade routes, cities, and market geography.
• GDP per resident is a productivity/output ratio and should not be interpreted as the income received by the typical resident.
• New York combines a bicameral legislature, executive branch, and a court hierarchy whose naming differs from many states.
