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. 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.

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

6. 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

7. St. Lawrence Lowlands

8. 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

9. Location
Southern Quebec
Southern Ontario

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

11. 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

12. Arctic

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

14. 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

15. Location
Just above the Canadian Shield

16. Interior Plains

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

18. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba
Location

19. Cordillera

20. 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

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

22. 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

23. 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

24. Appalachian

25. Location
Eastern north America

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

27. Population
23-24 million people
