History . what best describes the relationship between geography and economics in the british colonies? a.) all of the colonies benefited from having good soil and a long growing season. b.) the diverse geography of the colonies encouraged different economic pursuits. c.) the geography of the colonies had little influence on the economies that developed. d. )most of the colonies developed similar economies because they all had similar geography.

The answer is b.) The diverse geography of the colonies encouraged different economic pursuits.
Since the colonies of the north had different climate and resources than those of the south, the economy and the way of life were also affected, which in turn led to different policies even when the United States was already a free country. The most notorious example would be cotton plantations in the southern colonies, such as Virgina and South Carolina, where settlers needed slaves to run the crop economy, and that in turn, decades later, caused the division of the North and the South in the American Civil War.
