Social Studies 10 REGIONS in CANADA How Does Where We Live Affect Our Lives?

How Does Where We Live Affect Our Lives?

What is a Region? Region = an area with distinctive characteristics Many types of regions exist…. (stands out, different from others) (features, qualities)

Types of Regions Physical Political e.g. Provincial (BC), Municipal (Surrey) Economic e.g. Maritimes (Fishing) Cultural e.g. Queen Charlotte (First Nations – Haida)

Physical Regions in Western Canada Can we really say this is Western Canada? What impacts our boundaries of regions? Physical Regions in Western Canada

Physical Regions in Western Canada Different resources: What do we do with them? 3 Western Regions: The Canadian Shield The Interior Plains The Western Mountains

The Canadian Shield

1. The Canadian Shield Shield: Large mass of rock (old) History: Once a volcanic mountain range Eroded Unique Facts: Minerals (copper, gold, lead) Rock makes it hard to live/farm on What could be some benefits living on it?

The Interior Plains

2. The Interior Plains (Prairies) History: Eroded material from Canadian Shield Horizontal sedimentary rock (layers) Created from Oceans Unique Facts: Fossil fuels (oil and natural gas) How has this helped this region? In terms of human geography?

The Western Mountains

3. The Western Mountains History Formed by plate tectonics Unique Facts: Parallel Mountain Ranges (Cordillera) Erosion sculpted the rugged land Rich in minerals (copper, gold, coal) How might having large mountains near where you live affect your life?

Using Your Textbook Using your textbook, you are to do activity #1 on page. 104: You will use the headings: original state, significant changes, result of changes and appearance today to create an organizer to compare and contrast these three physical regions of Western Canada I also want you to include in the organizer what you believe are the two largest benefits and drawbacks of living in this region Then below the organizer you create, I want you to write a paragraph on how your life would change due to the geography around you if you moved from the Western Mountain region to the Interior Plains region and then to the Canadian Shield region (think climate, and use your knowledge about place and human geography (be sure to use parts of your organizer in your Paragraph)
