7. What are the three types of landform regions?

8. Shield Highlands Lowlands

9. Oil and natural gas are mined in which landform region?

10. Interior Plains

11. “Cottage country” is a characteristic of this landform region.

12. Canadian Shield

13. Rocky, flat and rounded hills characterize the appearance of this landform region.

14. Canadian Shield

15. What are the 3 major divisions of the Western Cordillera?

16. Coastal Mountains, Interior Plateau, Eastern Mountains

17. This is the geologically youngest landform region.

18. Western Cordillera

19. What process involves water moving downward, dissolving the chemical nutrients in the soil?

20. Leaching

21. What is the typical characteristic of a leached soil?

22. Poor, often thin, topsoil layer.

23. What is the process that creates calcified soil profiles?

24. Typically in dry climate soil profiles
Typically in dry climate soil profiles. Caused by the upward movement of water. The minerals that were in the water are now left behind in the topsoil layers.

25. What is the typical soil profile of a calcified soil?

26. Thick black topsoil layer is created.

27. This part of soil is originally from rock.

28. Minerals (Parent Material)

29. What is climate?

30. The condition of the atmosphere considered over a long period of time.

31. At what rate does air cool as it increases in elevation (altitude)?

32. 1 degC / 100m

33. What is weather?

34. The condition of the atmosphere considered over a short period of time, usually one day

35. How do air masses affect weather and climate?

36. Air takes on the characteristics of what it passes over (temperature/ moisture)

37. This side of a mountain receives little precipitation.

38. Leeward (rain shadow)

39. This side of a mountain receives little precipitation

40. Leeward

41. Mountain barriers cause this type of precipitation

42. Orographic (relief)

43. Intensive heating of the earth’s surface can lead to this type of precipitation

44. Convectional

45. More intense precipitation events are created when a _______________ air mass moves into a __________________ air mass

46. Cold; warm

47. When two air masses collide this type of precipitation occurs

48. Cyclonic

61. Oakville is located in this landform region.

62. Great Lakes St. Lawrence Lowlands

63. This landform region has Canada’s largest urban centers

64. Great Lakes St. Lawrence Lowlands

65. Larger rock particles allow water to drain quickly through soil created a __________ topsoil layer

66. Thin

67. The ideal topsoil layer for agricultural production is slightly __________________

68. Calcified

69. The southernmost vegetation region

70. Deciduous forest region

71. This vegetation regions is located above the tree line

72. Tundra region

73. Which two vegetation regions are located in the same climate region?

74. Mixed forest and deciduous forest regions

75. ______ take on the characteristics of the surface they are sitting over.

76. Air Masses

77. A warm ocean current will have what effect on surrounding coastal areas?

78. Created warmer, more moist areas

79. What are the 3 global climate/weather factors?

80. Latitude, Ocean Currents, Winds & Air Masses

81. A large body of water has this effect on climate.

82. Moderating effect

83. Solar radiation is effected by this climate factor

84. Latitude

85. Name the 3 types of Precipitation

86. Orographic, Cyclonic, and Convectional

87. Why does precipitation occur?

88. Air cools as it rises The cooling of air causes the water vapour to condense

89. Daily
