Detailed explanation-1: -The Appalachian Mountains are a system of mountain ranges running along the eastern coast of North America from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, in the north to Alabama, USA, in the south.
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The system may be divided into three large physiographic regions: northern, central, and southern Appalachia.
Detailed explanation-4: -As the immense stands of timber throughout the Appalachians brought into existence important lumber and wood-pulp industries, so rich coal beds, veins of iron ore, salt springs and licks, and deposits of granite and marble created major American industries in the region.
