2 Cordill era 1. Location: 69° 38' 13.2936'' N & 124° 58' 49.6884'' W Beside the Pacific Ocean at the very left of Canada 2. Place & Region: The Cordillera is made up of plateaus, trenches, and valleys. This landscape also include dormant volcanoes, glaciers ice fields, and a vast amount of mountains. The Cordillera was formed because of the North American Plate and the heavier Pacific plate. The 2 plates collided which caused the Pacific Plate to be forced underneath the NA Plate. The Pacific Plate managed to fold underneath the NA Plate which made it uplift. This caused the mountain chain. A place that people should visit is Whistler. Whistler is the biggest sport area in Canada. During the winter time there is mainly skiing and snowboarding but it is also used for biking, golfing and many other activities in the other seasons. Whistler is located in British Columbia. It is located on the bottom of the Cordillera. It is 50° 6' 58.7520'' N and 122° 57' 26.4816'' W.

3 Interior Plains: 1. Location: 69° 51' 3.5208'' N & 97° 44' 3.7500'' W In the interior of Canada very close to the center 2. Place & Region: The Interior Plains is mostly made up of flat land, rolling hills, and river valleys. There are 2 parts of Vegetation in the Interior Plains. One part is dwarf shrubs, sedges, herbs, Willow, Dwarf Birch and Alder. The Second Part is stunted black spruce, white spruce and tamarack with dwarf tundra vegetation. The Interior Plains region was usually covered by inland seas. Some of the Shield and Rocky Mountains were broken off into the seas over millions of years. Eventually the pieces were compressed by the weight of each other and formed the flat layer of land. A place people should visit is the Banff National Park. Banff is Canada’s oldest national park. Hiking, climbing, camping, and biking are some of the activities at Banff. There is a upper hot sprngs, 27 g=hole golf course, and many more things. Banff Is located next to the Cordillera and above the USA. It is located at 51° 10' 42.1068'' N and 115° 34' 14.7684'' W

4 St. Lawrence Lowlands 1. Location: 51° 20' 39.6204'' N & 82° 34' 23.6712'' W At the very bottom of Canada above USA 2. Place & Region: The St. Lawrence Lowlands has many Bluffs, sandy soil, and shorelines. The St. Lawrence Lowlands have many types of forests such as Deciduous and Mixed. Some trees include Oak and Hickory. The St Lawrence lowlands have deep, arable soils deposited during the last glaciator, when the Canadian Shield was scraped clean of all rocky soil, which was pushed south. The ice sheet pushed the land downwards under the pressure of the ice A place people should visit is Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is a very beautiful place. You can go through the waterfalls, go on towers to see it from a bird's-eye view and many other things. Niagara Falls is on the very edge of the Lowlands and goes into the USA. It is located at 43° 5' 45.3480'' N and 79° 2' 13.3728'' W

5 Canadian Shield 1. Location: 73° 42' 7.0128'' N & 55° 24' 54.1404'' W Surrounding the Hudson’s Bay 2. Place & Region: The Canadian Shield was once a volcanic mountain range. Over the many years, the weather and erosion, especially because of the glaciers, wore down the land to a landscape of flat, bare rocks, lakes and wetlands. The Canadian Shield has many trees and is mainly mixed forests. The Canadian Shield is formed because of weathering, erosion, continental ice sheets and folding which caused it to become a flat, rocky landscape. A place people should visit is Aquarium du Québec. The Aquarium du Québec has over 10,000 marine animals including seals, walruses, polar bears, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. There are many activities such as Arbre-en-Arbre adventure for kids, animal keeper for a day and more. This is above the USA. This is located at 46° 45' 6.0768'' N and 71° 17' 19.9680'' W.

6 Arctic 1. Location: 83° 4' 36.2064'' N & 65° 23' 26.2500'' W At the very top of Canada under the Arctic 2. Place & Region: The Arctic has plains, lowlands, and mountains. Since it is so cold there it is treeless but has low shrubs, mosses, and lichens. Formation of Arctic on next slide A place people should visit is Baffin Island. Baffin Island has many things to do such as Paddle or Raft the Soper, See polar bears, seals, belugas and tusked narwhals. Visit the Bowhead Whale Sanctuary and climb fjords. It is beside the Atlantic Ocean. It is located at 65° 25' 17.4180'' N and 70° 57' 55.5156'' W.

7 Arctic 1.Place and Region Formation: The Arctic is formed by ice sheets and glaciers. The ice sheets left large deposits of till which is why the Arctic is rich in minerals. During the glaciers the land was depresses and some parts got covered by the sea

8 Appalac hians 1. Location: 51° 30' 31.4712'' N & 52° 41' 25.5480'' W Beside the Atlantic Ocean at the very right of Canada 2. Place & Region: The Appalachians topography includes rolling hills, valleys, small mountains, and coastal fjords. Because of the rich soil there are a lot of trees, flowers and bushes. Some trees include: Coniferous, Spruce and Fir. There are also Mixed Forests in the lower areas. About 275 million years ago great pressures buckled these beds of rocks upward from the sea bottom which created the Appalachians. A place people should visit is Citadel Hill. Citadel Hill is a National Historic Site of Canada in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Citadel Hill was built to defend the town from enemies. You can hear some Ghost Stories, watch the Sentry Change, Tour the Museum, and Become a soldier for the day. Citadel Hills is right beside the Atlantic Ocean on the edge of Halifax. It is located at 44° 38' 41.3052'' N and 63° 34' 46.1820'' W.

11 The natural resources in the Cordillera are fish, forestry, copper, gold, coal, and agriculture. The natural resources in the Appalachians are coal, lead, zinc, iron, fish, forestry, and agriculture. The natural resources in the Canadian Shield are copper, gold, nickel, platinum, water (electricity), diamonds, lead, and the substances which makes concrete. The Arctic’s natural resources are approximately the same minerals as the Appalachians, but it also oils, natural gases, and diamonds The natural resources in the St. Lawrence Lowlands are soy, corn, tobacco, hay, field grains, coal, zinc, copper, lead, and iron. The natural resources in the Interior Plains include oil, natural gas, potash, cattle, and agriculture. Human-Environmental Interaction (Natural Resources)

12 Movement Population density & topographical Many people will tend to live in a place that is flat and is not as cold as the higher places. The more higher the place equals the more less the people. The highest population density is in the St. Lawrence Lowlands, which is very flat. People like living in flatter areas because it is warmer, not as remote as higher places, and it makes things you have to do easier. People will also live in places with more natural resources, clean air and water.

13 Movement Population Density & Climate Many people will live where it is warmer. Most people will live towards the South but some might live in the North. Many people will live in the North because it will be warmer, there will be more natural resources, and the ground will be more fertile. This will cause plants to grow better and food for animals to grow better. This all causes people who live in warmer climate to have a more variety of food and better quality. People will also live in the warmer climate because you can do more stuff outside like go on a picnic and it makes getting around easier.
