The Atlantic Periphery was the first part of North America to be settled by Europeans because of its location. Part of the Appalachian Mountains, which stretch from Alabama to eastern Canada is all part of The Atlantic Periphery. While Los Angeles was not settled so easily. In the Atlantic Periphery its main resources come from the forests and the sea unlike Los Angeles. Tourism is popular in the summer for hiking, camping, fishing and many other activities in the Atlantic Periphery. Winters bring people to the popular ski resorts. Tourism is also part of Los Angeles economy like in the Atlantic Periphery.
