Answer: The Middle Colonies: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, fertile land good climate crops included wheat, barley and oats and farmers were able to raise livestock.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hard to match as I do not have a corresponding description so :

Geography of the region and its impact: Land was fertile and plentiful settlers could become landowners. Natural harbors for trade and fishing. Cold winters, moderate summers, average growing season.

Economic characteristics: Farming economy, good for growing tobacco, used indentured servants for low cost labor. Low life expectancy due to diseases.

Social classes, diversity : Great diversity due to religious diversity. People stayed together based on ethnicity and religious, stayed to their own culturally.

Demographic characteristics: Location made large impacts, as they were central for trade centers NY and PA created quick growth. Many cities and towns.
