Short Winter, Long Growing Seasons
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The climate in the Middle Atlantic region is more moderate, with milder, shorter winters than in New England and a longer overall growing season from spring to fall. Because of the more advantageous climate and fertile soil, cereal crops-wheat, oats, corn-and many vegetables and fruits grow well in this region.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Middle colonies spanned the Mid-Atlantic region of America and were temperate in climate, with warm summers and cold winters. Geography ranged from coastal plains along the coastline, piedmont (rolling hills) in the middle, and mountains farther inland. This area had good coastal harbors for shipping.
Detailed explanation-3: -The New England Colonies had the shortest growing season.
Detailed explanation-4: -The southern colonies were made up of mostly coastal plains and piedmont areas. The soil was good for farming and the climate was warm, including hot summers and mild winters. The growing season here was longer than any other region.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Middle Colonies had cold winters (10-25 F) and hot summers (84-99 F). The region has a notably milder winter than the New England Colonies to the north did.
