In the northern colonies, it was rocky and there were lots of forests, so they made lumber, built ships, had more busy cities, and had good fishing.
In the southern colonies, there was fertile soil and a hotter climate, which was good for growing cash crops. Also, it was mostly rural.
In the middle colonies, there was a large variety of land, which was good for growing tobacco and indigo. They were mostly farmers, but fishing, lumber, and shipbuilding were also common. These colonies were a cross between the north and south.
Just did this for 7th grade social studies hw... hope its helpful!
The southern colonies had rich land and a mild climate that allowed for a strong farming community, including the production of tobacco. The effect of this climate was economic growth and stability.
The southern colonies were good for farming because it was humid out.
The southern colonies were the warmest of all. Crops could be grown throughout the year. The climate was perfect for plantations.
the factor that made the most difference would be the climate
southern-warm climate and rich soil new england-cold climate and rocky soil
Humid
The warm climate and rich soil of the Southern Colonies were well suited for agriculture.
The Southern colonies were more aristocratic.

The Southern Colonies had a warm and damp climate, that meant growing plants easy.
New England: cold weather and a shorter growing seasonMiddle Colonies: more temperate climate = more prosperous
It was the warmest climate of the three colonies it was humid there was no rain
The Southern Colonies of Colonial America mostly used plantation farming. The climate was hot, muggy, damp, and the area prone to rains, storms, and hurricanes.
The soils and climates of these three different colony groups were different. New England colonies were in regions were soil was not as fertile as in the Middle colonies. Similarly, the climate in the Southern colonies was warmer and the crops raised were rice, tobacco, and indigo. The economies of these colonies was crop based. The Middle colonies grew many different types of grains.
