Appalachian Mountains And Appalachians

Promotional Pitch for Canadian Mining Association Introduction The Canadian Shield is is arguably the best place to hold the annual Canadian Mining Association Summit as it's considered one of the richest areas of mineral ores in the world, making it great for future mining opportunities. This provides thousands of jobs for people looking to get into this industry as truck drivers, miners, geologists, analysts, etc. Types of Landforms The Canadian Shield is a landform region that covers 8,000,000 km2, 4/5th Canada’s total landmass.

geography of this country. The natural land forms which are present in Western Canada, such as

The Canadian Shield is the largest of the physiographic regions covering more than half of Canada and consists of the provinces Quebec, Ontario, Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Nunavut and over half of North West Territories. Apart from its occupations in Canada, portions of the shield also spans all the way to United States. As of now, the shield is fairly flat, along with rounded hills of rock that are roots of ancient mountains. Mainly igneous and metamorphic rock compose the shields land. From this rock many valuable minerals can be harvested from it, such as large quantities of lead, gold, copper, zinc, and other important materials. Resulting numerous cities and towns in the shield to rely on mining industries for jobs. As of mining,

The Appalachian plateau is the smallest and northern most region in Georgia as well as being home to many superb physical features. Its abundance of natural beauty attracts visitors far and wide to the peach state. It showcases many natural attractions including, infamous Lookout Mountain, Sand Mountain, Cloudland Canyon State Park, Pigeon Mountain, and many more throughout the area stretching from Alabama to New York. The expanse has many natural resources consisting mostly of sedimentary rock-limestone, sandstone, and shale. It also contains resources such as ironstone and is the only known source of coal in Georgia. The Plateau is of great economic significance due to the many coalfields

The Piedmont is the middle region it is between the Coastal Plain and the Mountain Region.

The Canadian Shield is a landform Region that covers almost half of Canada, including Nunavut, Quebec, Labrador, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The Canadian Shield is a landform that is composed of igneous and metamorphic rocks. It has a huge boreal forest ecosystem, hence, a lot of lands in the Canadian Shield are covered with trees. Due to the amount of trees and the boreal forest ecosystem, a number of animals such as horned owls, black bears and geese liked to live in the lands of the Canadian Shield. The Canadian Shield is covered with small lakes, this makes fishing a great recreation for human to do. The letter “A”, “C”, “A”, “N”, “E” and “D” reflects the information above.

Canada is a country filled with different and diverse ecozones. Two ecozones in Ontario are the Boreal Shield and the Mixedwood Plains. The Boreal Shield covers a large portion of Canada. It has a lot of wooded areas and holds a small amount of Canada’s population. The Mixedwood Plains is Canada’s smallest ecozone. Even though it’s small, it holds much of Canada’s population. The Mixedwood Plains is a better place to live than the Boreal Shield based on its urban population, its more comfortable climate and its strong economic base.

Canada is a very large country, with areas of land in various climate regions, and land regions, thus having many ecozones that differentiate from another. The most populated ecozone in Canada is the Mixedwood Plains; the ecozone we are located in, named after the mixedwood forests that are native to the area. The Mixedwood Plains is one of the smallest of the Canadian ecozones, spanning only 175 963 kilometres squared. The Mixedwood Plains is bordered by three of the great lakes on the southern side of the ecozone, and comes up along the St Lawrence river to southern Quebec, and fills the tip of Ontario. It has rolling plains and small rock formations and escarpments. The Mixedwood Plains contains over half of the Canadian population as

Appalachia is a 205,000-square-mile region that follows the spine of the Appalachian Mountains stretching from southern New York to northern Mississippi. It is home to more than 25 million people.

Montreal is located where the Canadian Shield, a Precambrian rock formation, meets a lush plain. This means Montreal has the geographic ability for economic growth with mining, as the Canadian Shield is filled with multiple types of minerals including nickel, gold, silver, and copper. While already with the great advantage of being on the Canadian Shield, Montreal’s location on St. Lawrence proved to be a major advantage in its development as a transportation, manufacturing, and financial centre. Montreal’s location farther south and in closer proximity to the modifying effects of the Great Lakes than Quebec City gave the region’s farmers a distinct advantage in increased agricultural productivity with less crop harm from cold temperatures. By 1850, less than a decade after the big decision, Montreal was already a prominent economic centre in Canada and North America.

The Ozark Mountains are characterized by eroded plateaus caused by the collision of the super continent of Gondwana, which compressed the present continents of South America, Africa, Antarctica and other land masses. These forces uplifted Arkansas with limestone and calcareous rocks such as sandstone and chert. Erosion lowered the surface creating a level plateaus which included: The Boston Plateau, the Springfield Plateau, and the Salem Plateaus. Rivers, over time, cut valleys into the plateaus. Present day Fayetteville-Springdale-Rodgers, Harrison, Mountain Home, Batesville, and Clinton are all cities which are within the Ozark Mountains boundaries.

When the French settled into Canada 400 years ago independently of the British, the first stages of French/Francophone identity was formed. Over time this unique identity began to emerge and become something different from the rest of Canada. Language, history, and the geography of their land continues to evolve and separate the Francophones from Canada as their land and way of life is special to our nation. The dual nature of the French/English faultline in Canada manifested early on in history when New France was threatened by British occupation, ultimately leading to Confederation; we can continue to see this in modern times through referendums which deal with French culture and separation. Quebec is also unique geographically, containing mild to arctic climate zones and 4 geophysical regions; this is very diverse for a single province in Canada. These regions in Quebec allows for a diverse economic industry, including: hydroelectric production, agriculture, forest and mining industries. The economic production through Quebec’s varying geography and their individual French culture and history is what makes Quebec a unique region in Canada.

Quebec is the providence in Canada, covering nearly 600,000 square miles. The notable landmasses found within Quebec include the Canadian Shield and the Appalachian Mountains. The Encyclopedia of Britannica reveals that the Canadian Shield has ice-smoothed hills, and is the most massive area containing exposed Precambrian rock (Behiels). The Appalachian Mountains are the separating feature distinguishing the Quebec’s borders from Main, Vermont, and New Hampshire (“Quebec Mountains”). The St. Lawrence River flows southwest of Lake Ontario to the northeast. Attractions involving the river include the Québec-Lévis ferry, cruises, and strolls on the Promenade Samuel-De Champlain (Quebec).

Canada is one of two countries located in North America and is the second largest country in the world. It is situated just north of the United States and constitutes the northern part of the country, excluding Alaska. Over the years Canada's culture has been influenced by European culture and traditions, mainly that of the French and British. Canadian culture has also been influenced by the countries' first people, the Aboriginals, as well as the newer immigrated population (Wikipedia, 2007). Canada consists of ten provinces and three northern territories, almost all of which are "rich in land and natural resources" (Bailey, par. 2). Canada is often referred to as a mosaic community because there is such a wide variety

Another population pocket influenced by Canada is the Cordillera of British Columbia. The urban population is concentrated in one small area, the southwestern corner of British Columbia. This population pocket is where 75% of the people in this province live. This region has climate unlike any other part of Canada mild winters and mild summers. Another population cluster is The Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Lowlands region. Some of the most fertile soil found in Canada lies in the Holland Marsh area. The Holland Marsh mostly lies within the valley of the Holland River. This 20 000 acre area contains organic, fertile soil which is ideal for growing market crops for vegtables. Organic matter consists of living plant tissues and organisms found in soil and organic matter improves the physical condition of soil. This area had low lying, wetland terrain. Large amounts of resources in many areas attract many people to this country. The Plains region which stretches down to the Mexican border has many rich resources including large reserves of oil and natural gas that were discovered mainly in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The coast of the Cordillera region, in Britsh Columbia, contains many rich resources mainly a large amount of salmon coming from the North Pacific Ocean, also many immense forests produce large amounts of lumber.
