Natural Characteristics and How Humans Influence Each Other
Canada is a diverse country filled with various types of vegetation, landforms, climate, land uses, population, human activities, and different ways to rise the economy and natural characteristics. The natural characteristics of Canada influences human activities and vise versa. Canadians are shaped to live accordingly to the climate, mountainous landforms, and natural phenomenon. However, people change the environment through the economy, human activities and land use. As the climate continues to change, it will affect the Canadians and the natural characteristics. Every choice and event can lead to destruction.
First and foremost, the position of Canada is far away from the equator

The grains, wheat, oil, coal, and lumber are the chief exports for our economy. The Canadian Shield, also known as the “Canada’s Storehouse Of Minerals” contain the majority of Canada’s metallic minerals. The Prairies are known as “Canada’s breadbasket” producing ingredients we use to make baked goods, including grains and wheat. The dryness of the land is able to grow this type of vegetation. Mining [oil, natural gas, coal and potash] industries are established in this region [parts of the Prairies are in the Interior Plains --- a landform that was created by erosion from the Canadian shield forming sedimentary rock]. The process of Calcification lie in dry climate regions like this one, it uplifting broken-down minerals upward and allow crops to grow. During the Paleozoic era, the first introduced single cell organisms were trapped during the formation of Pangaea; which became gas. Meanwhile, almost half of Canada’s minerals come from the largest region, Canadian Shield. The region is a mountainous region and once had glacials that eroded and expanded land across the country. The topsoil is scraped off and remains the bedrock. With a less area to search, it benefits those that are mining for valuable minerals. Since it is easier to mine and a way to rise the economy, higher leaders demand for more and more products. Thus, people vision our environment’s resources as …show more content…
Our land is mainly used for agriculture, settlement, and industries. We have land for agriculture to produce food for us to eat and to export. Houses and industries take up lots of land, it is used as shelters and production of products. Which the space remained for forests decreases year by year. The forest is a home for many wild animals and a where trees and vegetations grow. As humans cut down the remaining spaces for trees, the biodiversity of animals and the number of trees will drop. Through this, we can see that the use of land planned by humans often limit the amount of space for forests and often expands areas for settlement and
When analyzing the West region of Canada two groups emerge one being the Prairies of
We are however at the mercy of the weather, climate, geography and environment, and they dictate our actions and cultures. Demonstrate how each of these stories are excellent portrayals of how Canadians are influenced and affected by the natural world which they call
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
The greatest threat to Canada's Boreal is industrial development and its effects, such as climate change. Although much of the forest is still fairly unbroken, engineering actions like logging, mining,
Prairies provinces have common factors; Landscape, agriculture, climate, that represent in similarities compared to the rest of Canada. Landscape defines the Prairie Provinces as a formal region. With the enormous size of flatland, the immense quantities and high qualities of grains can be produced. This result in majority of land being used for agricultural purposes. In addition, the Prairie Provinces have significant harsh cold winters and mild dry summers compared to other provinces. The key differences are the ecosystem and the natural resources the region provide. Each province unique ecosystem allows different kinds of harvest and animal breed. Moreover, these key differences created different industry and job opportunities.
Extending from the Atlantic in the east, to the Pacific in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean, Canada is one of the most prosperous nations on Earth. This prosperity is represented by the voice that every citizen possesses thanks to the forefathers of Canada and the guaranteed rights and opportunities that the people of Canada rely on. As a nation, the pride, opportunity and freedom is not all Canada has to offer. Further, the natural beauty of Canada’s vast and beautiful lands come from various environments such as the Rocky Mountains, the tundra in the Arctic, and the farmland in the prairie's. In the great white North, having access to a universal healthcare system, celebrating cultural diversity of the people and the
Canada has been shaped by the historical influences of World War 1, The Roaring 20’s & Dirty 30’s and World Was 2; setting the basis for the society for which we live in today. World Was 1 had a big impact on Canada because it started the process of giving woman rights and showing people that they can do the same jobs men can do. The Roaring 20’s & Dirty 30’s has a big effect on the country because people went from having a lot of luxuries in the 20’s, To having no luxuries in the 30’s. When World War 2 came it gave people jobs and money so they could buy back everything they lost in the depression.
Canada is a country, proud of its culture and heritage. Canada is a country in North America alongside the United States and Mexico, boarded by the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific oceans. Particularly Canada is a multicultural, diverse country with two national languages consisting of French, as well as English. Although the language is diverse it is not the only element that changes across the country. In addition, Canada consists of just under ten million kilometers squared of land, which is the second largest landmass in the world. Likewise, Canada has everything from flat grass to beautiful mountains, sparse hills to large valleys with mesmerizing beauty. Something to consider about Canada and its success is the aspects of Canadian society, and what is contributing to the overall well-being of all Canadian citizens making Canada a great country to live in.
5 Canada is a resource rich country. Although Canada is physically vast, most of the population is located in the Great Lakes region and along the Saint Lawrence River. This is due to the geographic limitations on where people can live. However, due to the geographic limitations, it means that the natural resources throughout the country can be accessed more fully. The key to Canada's economy is its role as a resource base for exports of minerals and ore, forestry products and
But every year it lose 8.41 millions acres of land due to deforestation and fires. The more the people cut down the trees ,the less habitats animals have .The trees releases air into the atmosphere, so the more they cut the land the less are they have. The increase animal's death would also have a toll in this as well.
“The role of humans in the deforestation of the world's forests is considerable and extensive.” Says Rhett Butler. Humans affect the rainforest many inadequate ways, such as deforestation, and wildfires. Deforestation
Canada has an extremley large geography which plays a tremendous role on many factors that affect Canadians. These factors both help and hinder Canada economically, socially and politically. The geography of Canada has also caused regions to form. For the most part, these regions exist due to physical that are present in Canada's landscape. Canada's geography has also had a large impact on the influences that affect settlers. Canada's relatively low popuation in comparison to the large land mass make Canada a place where people who desire to settle in high population, urban areas or large, isolated, and low-trafficked areas. The high population of people near the Canadian-American border is also a unique feature of Canada, due to the
Forests have covered the earth for millions of years, providing habitat and food for animals and humans. These forests have stabilized different ecosystems and have continued the natural cycle that keeps plants and animals in check. The discovery of fire changed all of this. It was the beginning of deforestation, a process that has continued and increased over the last 200,000 years. Humans are the responsible party for the deforestation that has occurred. Humans discovered that animals could be driven with fire. This led to accelerated forest loss due to uncontrolled burning for hunting use (Miller & Tangley 1991: 28). Agriculture was the next problem
Recently a research was carried out, and the scientist found out that there was only 31% of the forest cover in the world (Song et al. 2014). The percentage shows that over half of the world’s forest cover has been consumed over the years and things are not getting any better since people are still venturing the forest (Song et al. 2014). There is many types of pollution that could effect the forest ecosystem and if the pollution will still increase that will lead to a manmade forest.
Deforestation for agricultural purposes and the expansion of human habitats is happening around the world. This
