Which of the following environmental characteristics best summarizes the Middle colonies?
A. Fertile soil
B. Irregular coastline
C. Humid and warm
D. Encouraged scattered settlements and plantations

A. Fertile soil

Explanation:

A. is the correct answer. The main characteristics of the geography of the Middle colonies are fertile soil that allowed settlers to plant wheat, rye, hemp, and corn. The soil was suitable for farming, and a balanced climate allowed many things to grow well in this area. Because of the fertility of the land, the area flourished economically, and people have been well fed.

B. this is not the right answer. The geography in these areas goes from coastal plains to hills and mountains inland, and the area around the coast is not really irregular.

C. is the wrong answer. Geographically, this part of the land has either a humid subtropical climate or continental climate, and in both cases, this means they have distinct seasons and mild or freezing winters.

D. is not the correct answer. There are no notes that geography encouraging this. The middle colonies usually had farming settlements and even a few cities.

i'm not sure what you are asking, but it also served as a debtors colony, was ran by the trustees for 20 years until becoming a royal colony, and people had restrictions such as no slaves, and only 50 acres of land per person/ hope this !
