Why The Great Lakes St.Lawrence Lowlands is the most Important We have seven landform regions but I strongly believe that the Great Lakes St.Lawrence Lowlands is the most important. Firstly, this Lowland region consists of the largest amount of wildlife and vegetation. Some of the wildlife includes coyote, white- tailed deer, endangered species like box turtles and fox snakes; while vegetation includes white pine, black spruce, sugar maple etc. Secondly, considering that the capital is located in this region may impact the fact that it also has more than 50% of the population living there and it is evident why anyone would want to. Other than the Capital, The Great Lakes St.Lawrence Lowlands also has many other tourist attractions like, 3

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.
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 Hudson bay/Arctic Lowland is an area around the south western shore of Hudson bay and James bay, which is a very flat, low area covered by swampy forests. the waters of the Hudson bay covered much of this Lowland at the end of the last ice age. The Arctic Lowland is made up of a series of island located in the far north of Canada, and has gently rolling landscape. The Arctic Lowlands have harsh climate which means its not good land for farming, the ground remains frozen for most of the year. In the sedimentary rock from the Palaeozoic era, which formed from the Lowlands contains ignite, oil, and natural gas deposits. In the Lowlands large amounts of limestone is found. The landscape of the Arctic Lowland is mostly ice, snow, rock and a
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.
Another geographic zone in Canada is the St.Lawrence Lowlands. The St. Lawrence Lowland is one of the smallest geographic zones found in Canada, only sizing in 180,000 kilometers squared. This Geographic zone can be found in Quebec and southern Ontario or the most southern region Canada. St.Lawrence Lowlands are composed of flat lands. The flat lands of the St.Lawrence Lowlands contain rich soil well suited for agriculture. The overall climate in St.Lawrence Lowlands is warm. Toronto and Montreal is located within this region, which means about 50% of Canada’s population lives here. Also the St.Lawrence Lowlands is home to the largest manufacturing industry, about 70% is located there. Also large amount of hydro-electricity is produced there

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
These two regions offer unique opportunities for more innovative and creative forms of economic development. North-eastern Ontario has a larger population than the North-western Ontario since it’s closely tied to mining. Whereas, North-western Ontario is closely tied to forestry therefore experiencing a lesser population. The economy in the North-western Ontario faced a downturn during the forest sector crisis with the region outside of Thunder Bay bearing the brunt of the employment and population adjustment. The North-eastern has been sustained by its mining sector , however there is a redistribution of population towards the five largest urban centres including Greater Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie , North Bay (53,966),
Dear Vivian, I am writing to you from the largest region in Canada, also known as the Canadian Shield. The shield is shaped like a giant saucer and is over 2 billion years old! Did you know that the Canadian Shield was once covered by glaciers? When the glaciers melted, it had created rocky hills and the debris forced rivers to flow in different directions. When I packed for this trip around the Canadian Shield, I brought strictly shorts and t-shirts, since it’s the summer. However, I did not realize that summers in the southern areas specifically would be so hot, rainy and humid. My hair did not agree with the weather at all! The vegetation in this area is incredible! There are so many tree’s in this area, such as spruce, poplar and fir.
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).

Over the same period, the birth rate in China varied more significantly than in the US. It dropped to 5% from 1940 to 1945 before reaching the highest point of the whole line graph, 20%, in 1950. By contrast, 5 years later, the birth rate in China decreased rapidly by over 10%, falling to approximately 2% in
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
