USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The region’s diverse topography with long broad ridges, steep slopes, deep gorges and wide intermountain valleys, and geologic stability over long periods of evolutionary history has resulted in a broad range of microhabitats and the presence of numerous relict species and communities.

Detailed explanation-3: -There is significant biodiversity within the mountain region, with a high number of plants and animal species making the mountains their home. The Appalachians are best known for being a mixed forest, containing a diverse selection of deciduous broadleaf trees.
