Great Lakes 5 large freshwater lakes in central North America -HOMES (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior) Serve as the “industrial heartland” of the continent because of all the factories One of the world’s busiest shipping areas Most of Canada’s population live in this region.

St. Lawrence River Major source of overseas and US/Canada shipping & trade Shortcut that connects the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean Huge producer of hydroelectricity

St. Lawrence Seaway A canal completed in 1959 at the eastern end of the Great Lakes Connects the Great Lakes with the St. Lawrence River (which flows to the Atlantic Ocean) Major source of overseas and US/Canada shipping & trade Closed from November to April (frozen) Seaway has made cities in Eastern Canada home to many successful manufacturing companies

Copyright Harpor House Publishers, Inc., Boyne City, Mich.

Hudson Bay HUGE inland sea in east central Canada “an arm” of the Atlantic Ocean Grain from Alberta & Saskatchewan is shipped from Hudson Bay out to the Atlantic and on to other countries Only navigable from July to October

Atlantic Ocean 2nd largest of the earth’s 5 oceans Most heavily traveled ocean Forms the eastern border of Canada Major shipping route to Europe & Africa

Pacific Ocean Largest & deepest of the world’s 5 oceans Covers 1/3 of the Earth’s surface Western border of Canada Major shipping route to Asia

Canadian Shield Stretches from Great Lakes to Arctic Ocean; covers half of Canada! -Horseshoe region around Hudson Bay Region of mostly thin soil lying on top of rock, with many bare outcrops of rock & thousands of lakes MAJOR natural resources: timber, minerals, & water Region is sparsely populated

Rocky Mountains Mountains located in Western Canada Includes western Alberta and eastern British Columbia Stretches a distance of 2,000 miles Mining is the biggest industry in the region, followed closely by logging Major minerals include: iron ore, copper, coal, gold Sparsely populated & contain few cities
