Match each colonial region with the economic and industrial characteristics. 1. whaling, fishing, shipbuilding Middle Colonies 2. indigo, rice, tobacco New England Colonies 3. wheat, lumber, cheese and butter Southern Colonies

1. Whaling, fishing and shipbuilding: New England Colonies.  

2. Indigo, rice and tobacco: Southern Colonies.  

3. Wheat, lumber, cheese and butter: Middle colonies.

Explanation:

As the American territory is very diverse and has different resources in view of its extension, it was possible that the first great colonies worked with the production of different products that were intensified according to the conditions of their territories.

In this way, New England colonies, due to their proximity to the ocean and their high altitude, efficiently developed whale hunting, fishing and shipbuilding.

The southern colonies, due to their fertile soil and environmental conditions favorable to agriculture, were responsible for the production of indigo, rice and tobacco.

The medium colonies, on the other hand, had an efficient environment for the production of pastures, being very promising for the breeding of cattle and products derived from these animals such as meat and dairy, besides, it had a strong production of wheat and wood.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
