2. The Canadian Shield

3. Topography Mainly flat Rounded hills of rock
Many rivers, swamps and lakes, large or small
 Some of the oldest rocks in the world
Home to many minerals and metals
Home to some of the oldest volcanoes in the world
The soil is very thin

4. Climate
In the southern part, there are very cold snowy winters, while the summers are warm and long.
The southern part of the Canadian Shield gets lots of rain and snow each year.
The Northern part gets very little rain and snow each year.
 Since the Canadian Shield is so big the temperature changes a lot.
In the southern parts of the Canadian Shield such as Ontario the climate stays about the same all year long.
The average temperature in the winter is -18*C. In the summer the temperature is 25*C degrees. 

5. Natural Resources
The northern section of the Canadian Shield is very rocky meaning there is very little or no farmland due to this poor soil.
Most people work in forestry industries.
Most of the cities and towns in the Canadian Shield are close to mines and paper mills.
Other people work in power stations as the Canadian Shield has many rivers that serve as dams for hydro electricity.
Northern Ontario is rich in minerals such as copper, zinc, iron, gold, silver, uranium, diamonds and lead.
It also has large nickel mines found in Sudbury, Ontario.

6. Location Largest region Centred on the Hudson Bay
the Shield stretches from Labrador through to northern Quebec, Ontario, eastern and northern Manitoba, northern Saskatchewan and the very northeast corner of Alberta.

7. Population Only a few people live in the northern part
Most people live in the southern part
The total population is around 7 million

8. Formation Process Formed when 2 tectonics plates collided
When they collided, folding occurred.
The plate that was forced down, melted and rose back to the surface to cool down over time.
These rocks (that were cooled down) eventually came to be known as the Canadian Shield

9. St. Lawrence Lowlands

10. Topography Mixture of many hills, slopes, valleys and flat plains
Deep river valleys
The water flows smooth and gently through the river valleys
Holds 18% of the worlds fresh water
The soil is very rich with minerals

11. Climate
Humid, continental climate, meaning that it is a dry climate with very cold winters and very hot summers.
During the summer, the Great Lakes tend to lower the temperature.
The Great Lakes also raise the temperature in the surrounding areas in winter by storing heat. 

12. Natural Resources
Has rich, fertile soil for agriculture which makes it the second largest farming area in Canada.
There are many resources in this region, such as zinc, lead, cattle and grain.
Clay can be found which can then assist in brick and tile manufacturing.
Though all these natural resources, their number one resource is water. 

13. Location
Southern Quebec
Southern Ontario

14. Population
Smallest land region yet it contains about one half of the Canadian population
Approximately 14 million people

15. Formation Process It was created by glaciation
The glaciers carried huge amounts of sand, soil, and gravel from the Canadian Shield and scattered them throughout the region

16. Arctic

17. Topography/population
Made from the rocks being pushed at • the Canadian Shield
• Ice bergs
• Glaciers
• Rugged ground
• About 4 million people

18. Industries
About 150 people work for oil companies • About 650 people are in mining
Mining
Agriculture
Fishing

19. Formation Process pressure at the Canadian Shield
• pushed sedimentary rocks up
• formed fold mountains
• fold mountains
• called Innuitaian Mountains
• go across more than 1000 km of the northern islands in the Arctic

20. Location
Just above the Canadian Shield

21. Interior Plains

22. Topography/Population
19% of Canada's population
• Flat
• Hills
• Cliffs

23. Industries
Mining • Agriculture • 1300 mining jobs

24. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba
Location

25. Cordillera

26. Topography Mountain ranges, basins
Many lakes , forest, oceans separated into three different sections filled with plateaus and valleys
Sections include, the Rockies, the interior plateaus , and the Columbia mountain
Beautiful wildlife, many trees, and crystal water

27. Location
Located in bc and the Yukon, western side of Alberta and northwest territories

28. Formation of the Cordillera
These mountains are separated by the Ricky mountains trench which was formed by erosion and zone faults
The two mountains were formed by plate collision which is the earths crust buckling pushing and folding volcanic rock into mountains
The way the plates move are called plate tectonics and they can also form plateaus, valleys, and trenches

29. Natural Resources
Fresh water and fish are a natural resource that can come from the ocean as well as lakes with clean water. The west coast is famous for salmon
Forestry is the biggest industry in thus region because the mountains and interior plateaus are very forested and plentiful
Mining is another good resource, since the mountains have iron, silver, copper , and other minerals within them
The cordillera has the second biggest natural gas industry , right behind Alberta

30. Climate:
Summer it can be dry and cool
Winter mostly wet and cool
Warmer in the south than the north

31. Population Lightly populated
Lightly populated because the mountains are running in north south direction making it hard for vehicles
Many people live in farming and mining towns
There are more than 1,360,000 people living there

32. Formation Process Form by fragments of other places
Made up of two mountains ranges; Rockies and Columbia mountains
Rocky mountains: folding send faulting and Columbia erosion along w zone of faults

33. Appalachian

34. Location
Eastern north America

35. Formation Process Different types of mountain ranges Range is old
Formed in the Paleozoic era

36. Population
23-24 million people

37. Climate: Very long and cold winters Short and cool summers

38. Natural resources:
Appalachian region is an extension of the Appalachian mountains that were formed roughly 480 million years ago.
Structure of the region is made up of rolling hills, valleys, and small mountains
Mountains were run down by glaciers, water, snow, and different temperatures.
Natural resources in this region are these metals: zinc, copper , lead , gold and minerals like potash and salt
Other resources include: fishing cod , salmon, Pollock, halibut, redfish, swordfish
The region is also rich in forestry.
These resources created mining, fishing, and forestry communities
