The region is known for supporting extensive cattle ranching and farming Globalization & Diversity: Rowntree, Lewis, Price, Wyckoff

Canadian Shield A very thin layer of soil on top of bedrock Many bare outcroppings of the bedrock as a result of glaciation Canadian Shield is immensely rich in raw minerals Not many people live here; why?

Rocky Mountains Largest mountain range in North America, as well as the youngest and reaches higher altitudes than the Appalachian Mountains Stretches from Alaska to Mexico Acted as a Transportation Barrier to the Settlers during Westward Expansion in the Middle to Late1800s
