Which physical feature travel from Minnesota to the golf of Mexico providing fertile soil and is the second largest river behind the Missouri River which is about 100 miles longer

The correct answer is - B. moderate.

In the moderate climate regions, one of the biggest, if not the biggest modifier of the climate is the ocean with its currents and the air masses that they bring with them.

Because of the thermal properties of the water to warm up and cool down slowly, thus maintaining a more stable and less varying temperature, this regions have mild climate for most of the year.

A perfect example are the British Isles, where the ocean currents are making the climate mild all year-round, with the summers being with temperatures around 25 C degrees, the winters around 0 C degrees, with the day and night variations being very small, and the precipitation and humidity relatively high.
