What type of agriculture did Colonial Pennsylvania have?
Well, colonial Pennsylvania contained (and still contains) many streams and rivers, so one thing many people used were sawmills and gristmills. They also had textile products (cloth or fabrics) made at home. I have only been studying Penny for a few days but I hope that helped, here's a great link to the best website I've found...
What are the similarities and differences between a lake and a stream?
Lakes are larger and deeper than streams. Streams have cleaner and cleaner water and higher oxygen content than slow-flowing streams.
What was the economy like in Pennsylvania in 1682?
The economy was somewhat based on farming. Pennsylvania exported flour and grain. They also were known for the textile industry, sawmills, and gristmills. In the region, there was a huge forest stretching from Delaware to Ohio and underneath it was rich soil so the lumbering industry was big because they had to cut down trees to make farms. So then they would sell the extra wood to other colonies or ship it to England.
What are the parts of Pennsylvania?
I'm not sure what you are asking but I will offer this information. Eastern Pennsylvania is mostly farmlands in rural areas, or small, medium, and large cities. Cutting diagonally across the state from northeast Pennsylvania (but beginning in Maine) through southwest Pennsylvania are the Appalachian Mountains. This is an old mountain range, older than the Rocky Mountains. The Appalachian Mountains were formed when the Super Continent ripped apart. As part of the Appalachian Mountains in Pennsylvania is the Allegheny Mountain range. At the southern-central border of Pennsylvania the Blue Ridge Mountains (part of the Appalachians) go through part of Maryland and Virginia. The Appalachian Mountain range extends far into the southern states, ending just north of the city of Atlanta, Georgia. So, the central part of PA (most of it) are mountainous. These mountains created a huge barrier to westward movement during colonial days. Migration did not occur until the mid to late 1700s. Obviously, there are deep valleys near the mountains. The valleys are lush, perfect for agriculture/farming. Western Pennsylvania (north and south) are rolling hills and some flatter lands (but not nearly as flat as Ohio to the west). SW PA has some steep hills that pedestrians walk in cities, but it is strenuous walking. All of the State of Pennsylvania has creeks, streams, rivers, lakes, and manmade dams. These provide plentiful fishing and irrigation of crops. The State has warm to hot/humid weather in summers; ice, snow, and cold temps in winters. Pennsylvania is a beautiful Statte with thick forests, plentiful game/fish, scenic views, and adequate employment opportunities in cities.

What causes of the Tidal Streams?
Tidal streams are caused by the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun acting on the Earth's oceans. The alignment and relative positions of these celestial bodies create variations in the water levels, resulting in the movement of tides. Geographical features of coastlines and ocean floor topography also influence the speed and direction of tidal streams in different regions.

What type of map shows Louisiana's rivers?
A physical map of Louisiana would typically show Louisiana's rivers. These maps display the geographical features of an area, including bodies of water like rivers. Additionally, a hydrographic map specifically focuses on water features such as rivers, lakes, and streams in a particular region.
How did colonial farmers water their crops?
