The document summarizes the 6 major physical regions of Canada:
1. The Canadian Arctic is located within the Arctic Circle and has jagged mountains and flat snow covered terrain. Glaciers formed much of the landscape. The climate is harsh with below freezing winter temperatures and summer averages of 13°C. Polar bears are at risk of extinction due to shrinking Arctic ice.
2. The Interior Plains is located in western central Canada with hills, forests, and river valleys. It formed from sediments deposited in an ancient sea. It has short, cold winters and hot summers ideal for agriculture like wheat and cattle farming.
3. The Appalachian Highlands are located in northeast Canada with old
Canada can be divided into 8 distinct landform regions defined by their unique physical features and climates. These regions include the Western Cordillera characterized by high mountains, the Interior Plains known as the "bread basket" for its fertile soil and farming, the Canadian Shield with its lakes and mineral resources, and the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands containing 50% of Canada's population. The other regions are the Appalachian Mountains, Hudson Bay Lowlands, Arctic Lowlands, and Innuitian Mountains. Each region supports different plant and animal life and has varying potential for human settlement and resource extraction.
The Himalayas are the source of three major Indian rivers namely the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra. Ganga drains a basin of extraordinary variation in altitude,climate, land use, flora & fauna, social and cultural life.Ganga has been a cradle of human civilization since time immemorial. Millions depend on this great river for physical and spiritual sustenance. People have immense faith in the powers of healing and regeneration of the Ganga. It is arguably the most sacred river in the world and is deeply revered by the people of this country. The River plays a vital role in religious ceremonies and rituals. To bathe in Ganga is a lifelong ambition of many who congregate in large numbers for several river centered festivals such as Kumbh Mela and numerous Snan (bath) festivals.

The Himalayan mountain range was formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. It contains the world's highest peaks due to ongoing uplift. The document discusses the tectonic formation of the Himalayas and its three elevation zones. It also describes the region's glacial systems, hydrological features like the Indus and Ganges river basins, mass movement processes, and influences of weathering and human activity. The Himalayas exhibit a diversity of landforms shaped by both endogenous geological forces and exogenous surface processes interacting over time.
The Ganges River is over 2,500 km long and flows through several countries including China, India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. It is considered sacred in Hinduism and people bathe in it to wash away sins. However, pollution is a major problem as many cities draw drinking water from the river and untreated waste is dumped into it. The Ganges is important for irrigation, agriculture, fishing, and generating electricity, but efforts are needed to control pollution to protect the hundreds of millions who depend on the river.
Glaciers are the moving masses of ice. They are the permanent masses of ice that form over the land. These glaciers are originated from the compaction and crystallization of snow. When low temperature and sufficient snowfalls occur over a region we get the glaciers and snow fields will be having very low temperature and continuous snowfalls, glaciers are masses of ice that flow under the action of gravity. Glacier is a natural moving body of crystalline ice of great dimension. A glacier is a typical geological agent and as ice flows over the mountains and regions or land plain lands glaciers can erode, transport and deposit the materials carried away by suspension.
The document provides information about the Sundarbans forest located in Bangladesh. It discusses that the Sundarbans is the largest mangrove forest in the world, located in the delta region of Bangladesh where the Padma, Meghna, and Brahmaputra Rivers empty into the Bay of Bengal. The Sundarbans is home to the world's largest population of Bengal tigers and is an important UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its biodiversity including mangrove forests, plants, and wildlife. The forest provides economic and environmental benefits through tourism, fisheries, and protection against natural disasters.
Ladakh is a region in northern India situated in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. It consists of two districts - Leh and Kargil. Ladakh has a population of around 270,000 people and is known for its high altitude desert landscape and Tibetan Buddhist culture. Some of the geographical features of Ladakh include the Indus River, Pangong Lake, Siachen Glacier, and the world's highest motorable road at Khardung La pass. The sparsely populated region is home to wildlife such as the snow leopard, Tibetan gazelle, and black-necked crane.

Canada has eight major physical regions defined by differences in topography, climate, vegetation, and economic activity. These include the Arctic, which has a very harsh climate and sparse vegetation, the Western Cordillera of tall, jagged mountains with varying climates and vegetation on each slope, and the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands that were originally heavily forested and now have economic activity including farming, logging and manufacturing.
Distinctive landforms result from different glacial processes. Corries form from glacial erosion in mountain hollows. Arêtes are knife-edge ridges that separate corries. Pyramidal peaks form when three or more corries erode around a mountain, leaving a horn-shaped peak. U-shaped valleys form from glacial erosion, with steep valley sides and a flat floor.
This document discusses ocean temperatures. It explains that ocean temperatures vary based on several factors, including latitude, winds, ocean currents, the distribution of land and sea, icebergs, and salinity. Near the equator, temperatures are highest due to greater sunlight. Warm currents increase temperatures while cold currents decrease them. The northern hemisphere oceans are generally warmer due to less land area. Temperature decreases with depth below the ocean surface.
This document discusses periglacial regions in northern Canada, specifically Baffin Island. It describes the typical tundra ecosystem found in continuous permafrost regions and notes that permafrost is the foundation of the Arctic's unique ecosystem. As climate change causes warming, the permafrost is deteriorating which impacts infrastructure and releases greenhouse gases as trapped carbon is released from melting permafrost. An estimated 14% of the world's carbon is stored in permafrost, so its melting contributes to further warming in a feedback loop.
The document describes several coastal regions and bodies of water along the coasts of Africa and surrounding areas. It provides details on the Grain Coast, Ivory Coast, Gold Coast, Slave Coast, Bight of Benin, Delta of Niger regions in West Africa. Additionally, it gives information on the Gulf of Guinea, Delta of Nile, Gulf of Gabes, Gulf of Sirte, Gulf of Suez, Gulf of Aqaba, Gulf of Aden, Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb, Sinai Peninsula, Mozambique Channel, Strait of Gibraltar, and Cape Verde.
Glaciers are massive sheets of ice that exist in cold climates and can grow or shrink depending on the climate. There are many different types of glaciers including retreating, piedmont, ice fields, hanging, tidewater, and surging glaciers. Most of the world's glaciers are located in Antarctica and Greenland but they can be found on every continent. Glaciers are melting due to the effects of global warming and the heat of the sun. Reducing pollution and stopping global warming can help reduce the melting of glaciers.
Climate change and the Himalayan glaciers- Problems and prospects-PPTTek Jung Mahat
The document summarizes an e-conference on climate change and Himalayan glaciers. Discussions focused on the current impacts being seen in the region from climate change, future potential threats like species extinction and worsening disasters, and the need for more research and adaptation planning. Key priorities identified included updating regional inventories using new technologies, more monitoring of vulnerable areas, disseminating research findings more widely, and developing adaptation and mitigation strategies to protect people from rising risks.
The document discusses key facts about the Himalayan mountain range:
- It extends over 2,400 km across northern Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China.
- The highest peak is Mount Everest at 8,848 meters tall.
- Major river systems like the Indus, Yangtze, and Ganges-Brahmaputra originate from the Himalayas.
- The Great Himalayan Range makes up the northern section with an average elevation over 6,100 meters and contains many of the world's tallest peaks.
Glaciers are large, thick masses of ice formed from compacted snow that accumulates over many years. Glaciers form in areas where snow accumulation exceeds melting. Due to their great mass, glaciers slowly flow downhill like rivers. Glaciers erode the underlying landscape and form characteristic landforms as they advance and retreat. Melting glaciers provide fresh water for many communities but are now threatened by global warming.
The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the ocean located in the western Pacific, near Guam. The deepest point, Challenger Deep, is over 11,000 meters deep. In 1960, Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard became the first people to reach the bottom of the trench in the bathyscaphe Trieste. James Cameron later made a solo descent to the deepest point in 2012. Despite the immense pressure, unique creatures like snailfish and vampire squid thrive in the trench, with over 1,000 undiscovered species remaining.

- Glaciers are large persistent bodies of ice that form where snow accumulation exceeds melting over many years. Their sheer weight and plasticity causes them to slowly flow under gravity.
- The approximate areas covered by glaciers worldwide are provided, totaling nearly 15 million square kilometers, with over half of that in Antarctica and Greenland.
- Glaciers are classified by their location and behavior, such as ice sheets, ice caps, valley glaciers, and tidewater glaciers.
The document discusses the significance of the Himalayan mountain range to India. It notes that the Himalayas have profoundly shaped Indian culture and protected India from invaders by serving as a natural barrier. Additionally, the Himalayas provide fertile soil deposits that make up the highly productive Indo-Gangetic Plain. The mountain range also offers tourism opportunities through its scenic beauty and cooler climate, and contains valuable mineral resources despite challenges with extraction. In short, the Himalayas have greatly influenced India's history, geography, economy and culture.
1. The document discusses a project that uses very high resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to map glacial lakes and monitor changes in glacial lake extent over time in order to assess glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) hazards.
2. SAR is well-suited for this task because it has high spatial resolution of 2m and can acquire imagery regardless of weather or sunlight conditions with a repeat cycle of 11 days.
3. The project aims to classify imagery to identify water, ice, and other areas and deliver lake outlines and glacier outlines as GIS shapefiles for integration into user mapping systems.

Glacial erosion can form U-shaped valleys and hanging valleys. U-shaped valleys are formed as glaciers erode existing river valleys, deepening and widening them into a characteristic U-shape with steep sides and a flat floor. Hanging valleys form when a tributary glacier erodes a valley that runs above and perpendicular to the main valley. As the main glacier recedes, it leaves behind steep walled, high elevation valleys hanging over the main valley below.
The document summarizes information about the Himalayan mountain ranges. It discusses the three parallel ranges - Himadri, Himachal, and Shiwaliks. It provides details on the characteristics of each range, including their average heights, locations of valleys and duns, and compositions. It also lists some of the highest peaks in the Himalayas and major rivers that originate in the mountain range, such as the Indus, Sutlej, Jhelum, and Brahmaputra rivers. Finally, it mentions some animal species found in the Himalayas including the snow leopard, giant panda, monal pheasant, and argali sheep.
Glaciers are melting rapidly due to climate change, threatening water supplies. The Himalayas contain the largest store of glacial ice outside the poles and supply water to over 2 billion people. As glaciers melt, initial floods will be followed by water shortages. Regions heavily dependent on glacial meltwater for agriculture, like parts of South America, are particularly at risk. Wildlife is also threatened by habitat loss as glaciers recede. Water harvesting techniques are helping high-altitude communities adapt to less predictable water availability.
Lake Lanao is an ancient lake located in Lanao del Sur, Philippines that is an important source of hydroelectric power and cultural significance. It is home to several endemic fish species and is central to the culture and livelihood of the Meranao people. However, the lake is facing threats from deforestation, agriculture, and fluctuating water levels from hydroelectric dams that are disrupting the lake's ecology. The lake provides over 60% of Mindanao's electricity but continued development risks damaging the lake and the Meranao people who depend on it.
The document summarizes the 5 regions of Canada: Atlantic, Core, Prairie, Pacific, and Northern. The Atlantic region contains 4 eastern provinces and has a population of 2.3 million people concentrated along the coast. The Core region includes Ontario and Quebec, which have the largest cities and populations. The Prairie region consists of Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan and has a population of 5 million with growing cities. The Pacific region is just British Columbia, with 4 million people living near Vancouver and Victoria. The Northern region covers the territories of Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, which have a small population of 100,000 living a nomadic lifestyle.
Canada has six main geographic regions: 1) Atlantic Canada along the eastern coast known for fishing. Overfishing has caused problems with declining fish populations. 2) Eastern Canada including Quebec and Ontario where most Canadians live in large cities along the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. 3) The Prairie Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and eastern Alberta which are important for agriculture and oil production. 4) The Rocky Mountain Region of western Alberta and eastern British Columbia known for mining industries. 5) The Pacific Coast of British Columbia along the coast with the cities of Vancouver and industries of logging, fishing, and mining, though overfishing is an issue. 6) The Arctic Region including the territories of Yukon, Northwest Territories

Canada physical features natural resources and climate 1011patrick_pitts
Canada's location provides access to three coastlines and several important waterways like the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River, which influence where Canadians live and the country's trade. The southern part of Canada has a climate suitable for agriculture and most of the population lives near the Great Lakes or St. Lawrence River. Canada's natural resources like forests, minerals, and hydroelectric power from rivers are major exports, though extracting them has caused environmental issues.
The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Lowlands region has flat plains, river valleys and hills containing the Great Lakes. It has a humid climate due to the moderating effect of the lakes, which store heat and lead to large temperature variations between warm summers and cold winters. Originally heavily forested with fertile soil, the region now contains mixed coniferous and deciduous forests and faces environmental concerns from industrial emissions.
The document summarizes the 8 major physical regions of North America:
1) The Appalachian Region has mountain ranges formed 300 million years ago, was once forested but now relies economically on coal mining. Mountain top mining threatens the environment.
2) The Coastal Plains have sandy soils and flat topography, with subtropical climates in the south. Tourism and fishing are major industries, and oil spills threaten the coasts.
3) The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowland has a rolling landscape from glaciation, and was once heavily forested. It relies on farming, hunting and gathering, but river pollution is spreading.
The Canadian Shield is a region covering half of Canada characterized by volcanic mountains, glacial debris affecting rivers, and a climate with long cold winters and short summers in the north. It is mainly covered by boreal forest but also contains deciduous trees, and no trees north of the tree line where permafrost exists. Environmental concerns include acid rain damaging the land which spreads easily through the granite bedrock caused by coal-fired power plants, while economic activity focuses on dairy farming, forestry, and mining various metals.
The document summarizes a journey to the St. Lawrence Lowlands to learn about an inheritance from a father who had passed away. It describes the traveler visiting the area to learn about the natives who live there and gain knowledge of the New World to bring back and share. It then includes the lyrics of a song about falling in love with an Ojibwe girl but having her heart broken. The credits list the areas different group members focused on for the project and that the script and powerpoint were a group effort.

It is very cold at the poles, usually snowing, and covered in ice with only a few plants growing in the summer. The document lists animals commonly found in the Arctic and Antarctic, including polar bears, seals, sea lions, arctic foxes, caribou, wolves, beluga whales, various types of penguins, elephant seals, whales, giant squid, and mentions the Aurora Borealis and Australis lights.
Glaciers leave behind distinctive geological features that provide evidence of their past presence and movements. These include erratics or rocks that were carried long distances from their place of origin; striations or scratches and grooves on bedrock surfaces formed by debris dragged at the base of glaciers; and polished, smoothed, and striated bedrock surfaces. Additional landscape features provide evidence, such as U-shaped valleys carved by glacial erosion, cirques or bowl-shaped depressions at the tops of mountains, arêtes or sharp ridges, and moraines which are accumulations of debris and sediments. Glacial meltwater also forms features like eskers, kames, drumlins, and outwash plains.
Impacts of IUU fishing in the Asia-Pacific regionfishersforum
The document summarizes a study on initiatives to address illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing globally and in the Asia-Pacific region. The study involved questionnaires to 21 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation member countries and 48 other countries bordering the Pacific Ocean. It found that IUU fishing is a major problem in the region, possibly accounting for up to 16% of total catch worth $5 billion annually. Drivers of IUU fishing included ineffective management, excess fishing capacity, disputed boundaries, and lack of alternative livelihoods. Responses by countries have included regional plans of action, increased monitoring and enforcement, and alternative employment programs.

The 8 physical regions of north americaJake Rablou
The document describes the 8 major physical regions of North America: 1) Appalachian Region, 2) Coastal Plains, 3) Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands, 4) Interior Plains, 5) Canadian Shield, 6) Western Cordillera, 7) Intermountain Region, and 8) Arctic Region. For each region, it provides details on the topography, climate, vegetation, economic activity, and environmental concerns. The longest sections are devoted to the Appalachian Region and Coastal Plains, covering their mountainous terrain, climate influenced by ocean currents, original forest cover, importance to industries like mining and fishing, and challenges of pollution and habitat loss.
The document provides information about the tundra biome. It describes the tundra as a vast, cold region characterized by treeless vegetation and permanently frozen subsoil. It exists in the northernmost regions of the world and at high elevations. Plants and animals in the tundra are adapted to harsh conditions like freezing temperatures, short growing seasons, and nutrient-poor soil. Examples are given of the specific locations and characteristics of the Arctic, Antarctic, and alpine tundra biomes.
This document summarizes the main biomes (regions) of the world, which include polar ice caps, tundra, forests, grasslands, deserts, and aquatic biomes. It provides details on the defining characteristics, climates, vegetation, and animals found in each biome type. Some of the specific biomes mentioned include boreal forests, taiga, temperate deciduous forests, prairies, steppes, savannas, rainforests, wetlands, estuaries, and oceans.
Terrestrial biomes are areas sharing similar climate, topography, and soil conditions that support characteristic biological communities. The major terrestrial biomes include tropical rainforests, tropical savannas, deserts, grasslands, Mediterranean shrublands, deciduous forests, coniferous forests, tundra, and wetlands. Marine ecosystems include open ocean, coastal zones like coral reefs and estuaries, and tidal environments. Humans have significantly disturbed many ecosystems through habitat conversion, pollution, and overexploitation of resources.
Terrestrial biomes are areas sharing similar climate, topography, and soil conditions that support characteristic biological communities. The major terrestrial biomes include tropical rainforests, tropical savannas, deserts, grasslands, temperate forests, boreal forests, and tundra. Human activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, agriculture, and urbanization have significantly disturbed many biomes and are the primary cause of biodiversity loss globally.
1. Biomes are defined as large regions characterized by distinct plant and animal life. The document discusses several major biomes including forests, grasslands, deserts, and aquatic biomes.
2. Each biome has unique abiotic factors like climate and soil that have shaped the adaptations of the plants and animals living there. For example, desert plants have small leaves or none at all to reduce water loss, while aquatic biomes range from freshwater to marine environments.
3. Many biomes are threatened by human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change. Conservation efforts aim to protect biodiversity and restore degraded ecosystems.
The document discusses the importance of Arctic ecosystems. It notes that Arctic regions provide food, fuel, fodder and potential pharmaceuticals. They also contain unique genetic material and species, and support migratory animals. Arctic sea ice hosts ice-endemic species and is an important habitat. Tundra and boreal forests are also discussed, noting the challenges of the climate and importance of adaptations for plant and animal survival.
The Arctic region lies within the Arctic Circle and includes parts of 8 countries. It has a very cold climate, with average January temperatures of -35°C. The indigenous Inuit people have lived in the area for over 9,000 years, traditionally hunting and fishing, but many now work in oil fields. The Arctic ice is melting rapidly due to climate change, with a loss of 14% of permanent sea ice from 2004-2005. As ice melts, it is replaced by darker water that absorbs more solar radiation, causing a feedback loop of more melting. By 2100, 50-60% of Arctic ice may be gone, and by 2700 it could all be melted. This endangers marine species and indigenous communities
The document provides information about the various climate regions, biomes, and vegetation types found across North America. It includes details about the tundra, taiga, deciduous forest, grasslands, deserts, and tropical rainforests; describing characteristics like temperature, precipitation, and dominant plant life. Maps and diagrams are included to illustrate the different locations and features of each biome. The document serves as an overview of the major climate and ecological zones within North America.
This document provides an outline of biomes and ecosystems around the world, including terrestrial biomes like rainforests, deserts, grasslands, and forests, as well as marine ecosystems from the open ocean to coastal areas. It also discusses freshwater ecosystems like lakes and wetlands, and notes several human impacts such as habitat loss, pollution, and climate change that are threatening biodiversity.
The tundra biome is located near the North Pole and covers about a fifth of the Earth's surface. It is characterized by permafrost, or permanently frozen soil, which prevents trees from growing. During the short summers, plants and microorganisms can grow in the thin layer of soil that thaws. The tundra has a very low biodiversity and supports species that are adapted to the harsh climate, such as reindeer, arctic foxes, and lemmings. Oil and gas exploration and climate change threaten the fragile tundra ecosystem.
Habitats | Science presentation for Grade 7th by M.Hassaan AnjumHassaan Anjum
This document defines what a habitat is and describes different types of habitats including grasslands, polar, desert, mountain, temperate forest, freshwater, ocean, and rainforest habitats. It provides details about the characteristics of each habitat type and examples of animals that live in each one. The document also discusses habitat destruction as a threat and the importance of habitat conservation.
The Arctic region encompasses the Arctic Ocean and surrounding landmasses north of the Arctic Circle. The Arctic Ocean is the smallest and most landlocked of the world's oceans, covered by a thick polar icepack for most of the year. The climate is characterized by extreme seasonal variations, with long, cold winters and short, cool summers. Both the land and marine ecosystems have adapted to survive in these harsh conditions and support indigenous peoples like the Inuit, as well as resources important to the global economy. Studying the Arctic is important for understanding past and potential future climate changes that are predicted to impact the region first and most severely.
This document discusses different types of natural vegetation regions around the world. It describes forests, grasslands, tundra, deserts and ice sheets as the main vegetation regions. Each region is characterized by distinct plant communities that are determined by climate factors like temperature and precipitation. The document provides examples of different forest and tundra types. It also explains how lack of precipitation defines deserts and how ice sheets have no vegetation. Latitude and altitude are described as influencing regional climates and associated vegetation distribution.
This document describes the 8 major physical geographical regions of North America: the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands, Canadian Shield, Interior Plains, Intermountain Region, Arctic Plains, Appalachian Region, Coastal Plains, and Western Cordillera. It provides details on the location, climate, and natural vegetation of each region. Key details include that the Appalachian Region contains mountains on the east coast, the Interior Plains experience extreme continental climates, and the Canadian Shield is the geographic foundation of Canada consisting of ancient volcanic mountains.

3. Location and Landscape- The Canadian
Artic region is located in northern Canada.
The Artic region is primarily located within
the Artic circle. The landscape within the
Artic region of Canada includes features
such as jagged mountains on many of the
eastern artic islands and flat, low lying, snow
covered terrain located on several of the
main western islands of the artic. Other
features include the frequent plateaus
scattered throughout the region and
permafrost, which is a layer of organic
materials that remains permanently frozen
on the ground for over a period of 2 years.
Glaciers formed much of the artic by eroding
and scraping large portions of land. Glaciers
eroded land and carried rocks and soil far
from their original places, which resulted in
some interesting glacial formations.
The Canadian Arctic
Jagged, snow peaked artic mountains
Location and Landscape
4. Weather and Climate
Weather and Climate- The Canadian
Arctic climate is harsh at times, but
adaptable. The Artic climate temperatures
averages below freezing during winter and
can increase to an average of 13 °C
through the course of summer. Life in the
Arctic is affected from climate by the cost
that people must spend on certain foods
and the availability of those foods an
example is that the winter darkness make it
harder to grow vegetables, hunt and ship
foods, the cost to provide heating to homes
increases and how water is brought as well
as found for people to use. An interesting
weather fact in the arctic is that during the
period of summer the sun shines for 24
hours each day in the winter the northern
region of the arctic is angled so away from
the sun resulting in 24 hours of darkness
everyday.
A result of the cold arctic air
creates a dry atmosphere in which
there is barely any humidity as well
as precipitation (rain, snow and
hail)
5. Flora and Fauna
Flora and Fauna- In the arctic organism
must adapt to their environment. In the
ecosystem of the arctic tundra (a tundra
is a open, flat artic region in North
America in which tress are uncommon
and a top layer of soil allows only small
shrubs to grow) the most commonly
found plants are wildflowers, mosses that
grow on rocks and shrubs that have
developed to trap heat inside themselves.
The animals of the arctic adapted to
their environments through developing
the ability to hold their breath for long
periods of time under water, and by
growing fat called blubber that provides
them with warmth. Common arctic sea
creatures would include seals, walruses
and whales. Common land mammals in
the arctic are musk oxen that travel in
large herds caribou and the migration of
millions of different species of birds.
A result of shrinking artic ice has caused polar bear to
lose their homes and obtain more difficulty in hunting,
they are at the risk of extinction.
Arctic Wild grasses
6. Natural Resources and Food
Natural resources and food- In the
Canadian Arctic gas, fish and oil
are the main natural resources
than can be found. The Arctic
region consists of two main
categories for resources renewable
and non-renewable. The renewable
resources include animal that
provide local with a source of food
and clothing. The animals are
hunted but remain in a sizable
population, so that they may
repopulate. Non-renewable
resources often are materials such
as fossil fuels (gas, oil and coal)
and metals/minerals that cannot
be produced after they have been
consumed.
The foods from the arctic are often obtained
through old hunting techniques to collect
meats from seals, whales, caribou and clams.
Considering that the arctic is covered by
permafrost few naturally grown plants that
grow are edible, those that can be eaten are
crowberries and arctic blueberries. Fresh
fruits in the artic are mostly obtained and
grown in community greenhouses and food
shipments.
Iqaluit Community greenhouseArtic off-shore oil rig
7. Urban Development and Cities
Urban development and cities- A
common observation in pattern
in cities, town and village arctic
settlements is that almost all
settlements are costal, along the
water. People live most
commonly on the small islands
throughout the Canadian Arctic
peninsula in small communities.
It is estimated that the Canadian
Arctic represents less than 1% of
Canada’s total population
resulting in the approximation
that 15,000 people make up the
total population for the
Canadian arctic region. In the
Arctic the population density in
most communities is fewer than
100 people with 0.03 inhabitants
per square kilometer.
The largest settlement in the
Canadian arctic is Iqaluit.
9. Location and Landscape
Location and Landscape- The Interior
planes is located in the west central area
of Canada, extending from the western
cordillera mountains to the Eastern
Canadian Shield and covers 19% of
Canada’s land area. Landscape in the
interior plains includes hills, low
mountains, forests and even wide river
valleys. Other features include lowlands,
low hills in areas to the west near the
Rocky Mountains and common plateau’s
dispersed throughout the interior planes.
The Interior plains formed millions of years
ago as a region of land bellow the ancient
sea. As sediments eroded from the Canadian
Shield as well as the rocky mountain, these
sediments were deposited into the ancient sea
covering the interiors plains. Over time the
ancient sea began to dry out and in the end
resulted as a vast land mass formation
formed from compressed sediments over the
years resulting as layers of sedimentary rock.
How did the Interior plains form?
10. Weather and Climate
Climate and Weather- The interior plains
endures short, cold winters that average
below freezing and hot summers that can
undergo high temperatures of 10°C-
30°C. Temperatures in the interior plains
is humid and can alter all year long. The
life in the interior plains is affected by
weather through field crops for example:
humid weather and summer rainstorm
help crops grow on the other hand a
drought of dry weather could destroy an
entire farmers crop if he is not prepared
with irrigation systems. Climate in the
Interior plains is taken advantage of by
winter sports of skiing or hockey.
Severe, rare weather in the Interior Plains
includes tornadoes, flood and droughts
which are long periods of time in which
there is no rain or snow.
11. Flora and Fauna
Flora and Fauna- Over many
years’ animals have adapted to the
hot dry climate of the interior
plains. Plants can survive long
droughts and endure wildfires
because of their deep root
systems. Native vegetation of the
Interior plains consists of mainly
grasses (porcupine, bluestem and
june), trees such as fir, pine and
spruce. Ecosystems in the interior
plains would consist primarily of
wetlands/lowlands, rivers and
streams, boreal forest and
tundra’s.
Over 85 percent of wetlands have been
destroyed for the expansion of agriculture
Wetlands have been endangered as of
recently although they are not an animal
wetlands are home to many animals. Some
of the many different types of animals in the
interior plains would include rattlesnakes,
duck/birds, bear, prairie dog and buffalo;
both buffalo and prairie dogs are at risk to
extinction
12. Natural resources and Food
Natural resources and Food- In the
region of the Interior Plains the most
the primary non-renewable natural
resources are potash (salt) and fossil
fuels that consist of coal, oil, and
natural gas. The essential renewable
resources are fertile soil, forest and
rivers, lakes and streams; these
resources can be re-assemble or
reproduce.
Food is the major product from farms
in Interior Plain region. Common
foods in this region are wheat, corn,
peas and beef. Essential farming done
in the region of the interior plains is
cattle ranching and wheat
farming/harvesting.
Fossil fuels are extracted from below
the ground and provide power home
essentials and other machines requiring
power.
13. Urban Development and Cities
Urban Development and cities-
In the Interior Plains residence
live dispersed all through out the
region occasionally on massive
farms where there is access to
irrigation. An approximation of
the population of Canada’s
interior plains region is 7.4
million that is an estimated
17.44% of Canada’s total
populations. The population
density increases significantly
the further south you travel in
this region. Major city in the
Interior are Edmonton, Regina,
Yellow knife, White horse and
Winnipeg.
Grain Elevators
15. Location and Landscape
Location and Landscape- The
Appalachian highlands are located
in northeast Canada. The
Appalachian highlands are on the
most easterly point in the Canadian
country. Landscape in the highlands
tends to be old mountains rounded
from year of erosion, plains of rich
soil, rocky coastal areas and large
islands. The Appalachian highlands
formed roughly 300 million year ago
when two large plates collided
together, the force of the collision
caused the Earth crust to bend
upward forming the mountains.
16. Weather and Climate
Weather and Climate- Temperature
in the Appalachian highlands tends
to alter depending on your location.
Climates is cold during winter at
around -5 °C to -13°C and summers
are moderate at temperatures of 15°C
to 18°C.. The Labrador Current on
the Atlantic coast brings cold air
from the Artic as warm air from the
tropics is brought up the coast, when
the northern cold air merges with
southern warm air, interesting
weather patterns can arise (snow and
often high winds can be created.
The Appalachian highlands receive a yearly
average of 1000mm per year or 3ft
17. Flora and Fauna
Flora and Fauna- The
Appalachian highlands are home
to many plants and animals.
Inland areas incorporate dense
forest of coniferous and
deciduous trees consisting of
much variety, but commonly
know species of tree in this area
are spruce, cedar and oak. Costal
areas contain mosses and shrub
vegetation; because the soil and
air are damp and poor in
nutrients vegetation tends to have
difficulty in growing. Lastly
swamp are found in low lying
areas often contain fern.
The flying squirrel is an endangered specie
due to coal mining in the Appalachian
highlands.
Animals inhabiting the Appalachian
highland consist of many different species of
mammals; dear, bear, rabbits. Marine life for
instance fish off the coast in the Atlantic
Ocean, crabs and birds that thrive on the
abundance of food {mollusk (animals with
shells)}.
18. Natural resources and Food
Natural resources and food- The main
resources found in the highlands are
the fossil fuels within the region as
well as of the coast. Scarce non-
renewable materials in the
Appalachian highlands are fossil fuels
and minerals specifically gold, cooper,
gypsum and salt. Renewable reusable
substances are forest, farmland, fish
that repopulate by spawning and
water commonly used for hydro
electricity.
The foods of the Highlands were most
commonly obtained through hunting fish
and caribou as well as gathering nuts and
wild berries. As of the last hundred years
new foods have been introduced to the
region of the Appalachian highlands
through farming and harvesting crops of
corn, bean and a new range of different
fruit and vegetable varieties.
19. Urban Development and Cities
Urban development- People live
all through out the islands of the
Appalachian highlands. The
islands are dispersed throughout
the region and settlements tend
to be on costal areas of the
island where there is access to
water or small mining
communities.
St. Johns and Halifax are the two
largest cities in this region.
The Highlands are estimated to
obtain 6.6% of Canada’s total
population and an approximation
that 2,313,102 people occupy the
region of the Appalachian
highlands. On average the
population density for the
highlands is 13.5 inhabitants per
square kilometer.
21. Location and Landscape
Location and Landscape- The St.
Lawrence Lowlands are located in
southern Ontario among the Great lakes
of Huron, Ontario and Erie and further
continue along the riverbanks of the St.
Lawrence. Landscape in the St.
Lawrence Lowlands is essentially plains,
rolling hills and rivers dispersed
throughout this region. Another feature
would include the Niagara Falls cliff.
The St. Lawrence Lowlands Great lake
areas were originally created by the sheer
weight of the glaciers that engraved
enormous cavities into the earth. These
cavities in the earth were engulfed by
water as the glaciers melted and retreated
to the Atlantic. As the glacier retreated
it’s immense weigh forced down the
earth surface resulting in he St. Lawrence
River in between the Canadian Shield
and Appalachians.
22. Weather and Climate
Weather and Climate- The St.
Lawrence Lowlands
encounters hot, humid
summers with moderate rain
and cold, snowy winters. The
climate affects life throughout
the region by providing rain
during summertime for crops
and allowing crops extra
harvests, weather is ideal for
year long seasonal recreations
such as winter sledding and
summer swimming. Summer
time weather can be extreme in
the St. Lawrence Lowlands
when storms hit the region
tornados and hailstorms can
ravage and fracture buildings.
23. Flora and Fauna
Flora and Fauna- Vegetation in the St.
Lawrence Lowlands region consists of
mixed forest of coniferous pine and
leafy deciduous trees and wetland
plants; two common wetland plants
are cattails as well as water lilies.
Alongside the St. Lawrence
River, banks of fertile soil provide
agricultural crops of grain, fruit and
vegetables.
Animals’ species that inhabit the area
of The St. Lawrence Lowlands are land
and marine mammals, fish and shelled
creatures distributed in the St.
Lawrence River along with reptilians.
Unique animal native to this region are
the quilled porcupine, flying squirrel
and painted turtles. As a result of
previous logging and human activity
animals have been forced to change
habits and habitats by moving new
locations; the beluga whales are an
example of the few endangered animals
in the region today.
24. Natural Resources and Food
Natural resources and food-
Naturals resources in the St.
Lawrence Lowlands would
include both renewable and
non-renewable resources. The
non-renewable resources of this
region are salt, gypsum and
quarry rock minerals; oil wells
were drilled and emptied as far
as in 1857. The renewable
resources of this region include
water, fish agricultural soil and
trees for harvest (only in certain
areas because much forest has
already been cut for agriculture
and buildings. The glaciers
along the banks of the St.
Lawrence River deposited a
rich layer of soil in which
apples, grape and vegetables
can be farmed.
The St. Lawrence region is the largest dairy
farming producer of Canada. This region is
most famous for it’s maple syrup production.
25. Urban Development and Cities
Urban and cities- Houses and
residence tend to be along the
banks of the St. Lawrence
lowlands and within the Great
Lakes lowland area. Towns are
most commonly found along
rivers where agricultural crops
can absorb water. The St.
Lawrence Lowlands have an
estimate of 40% of Canada
entire population and a total
population within this region
of 14,000,000 people; this
region has a dense population.
Toronto and Montreal a the
two most populated cities in
the St. Lawrence Lowlands.
27. Location and Landscape
Location and Landscape- The cordillera
is a vast sequence of mountains that line
the western edge of Canada’s province.
The Cordillera consists of the majority of
British Columbia and Yukon along with
small parts of Alberta and the NW
territories. Partial areas of the Cordillera
are within the ring of fire, a zone of
volcanic and earthquake activity located
along the pacific coast of North
America. The landscape features that
make up the Cordillera are islands
located to the southwest coast and three
primary chain sequences of mountains.
Common land formations in this region
are long stretched rivers, wide green
valleys, plateaus, broad bays and
infrequent plains. The Western Cordillera
was created by the North American and
Pacific Plates colliding, which caused
folding mountains, faulting, and volcanic
activity. The cordillera makes up 16 percent of
the Canada’s total land area.
28. Weather and Climate
Weather and climate- The cordillera has
various climate patterns, this region has two
main climates, one for the Pacific Coast,
and one for the mountain ranges and
valleys further inland. Along the Pacific
Coast the weather is very wet during the fall
and winter, with no extreme cold and it
rarely snowing. Summers are cool, and the
winters, being short. In the mountains and
interior plains the climate is cold in the
winter and cool summers.
The climate has an effect on lives in the
cordillera region by the place that people will
live for example Population is greater were
the weather can be enjoyed. What activity’s
the weather offers for people to do
recreationally and where people can work.
For example farming would most likely be
located to the south where weather is warm
and cool.
29. Flora and Fauna
Flora and Fauna- In the cordillera there
are three main areas of vegetation.
There is a rainforest on the coastal
areas, which consist of cedar hemlock
and fur. Northern areas of the
Cordillera region include spruce, pine,
birch and aspen. The central interior
area comprises of an assortment of
different plants being grasslands, berry
bushes and various sized forests of fir,
aspen and pine located on the slope of
the interior mountains.
The three areas in the cordillera in which
many of the animals of this region
commonly live are the costal area which
includes well know animals such as bald
eagle, goats roaming the mountains as well
as many off-shore marine life, further to the
cold north animals consist of wolves, herds
of caribou and in the central interior area
grizzly bears and mountain lions can be
commonly found wandering in the
backwoods. One endangered animal in the
cordillera region is the Vancouver Island
marmot.
30. Natural Resources and Food
Natural resources and food- in the western
Cordillera minerals and water are the main
natural resources that can be found. The
cordillera incorporates two categories of
resources renewable and non-renewable.
The renewable resources of the Cordillera
are water that is used in hydro electricity
and recreation activities, soil, fish and
forest for tree harvesting. The non-
renewable resource would generally
include substances such as coal and
minerals of copper, zinc and gold those are
uncommonly found up north.
Native aboriginals introduced common foods
in the Cordillera region. These foods would
include trout, salmon, and shellfish along
with species of wild onion, wild berries and
herbs. A result of the mountains makes
farming complex but in the area of the Fraser
valley cranberries, fruit and ranch farms have
been develop to provide this region with local
fruits and meats.
31. Urban Development and Cities
Urban developments and
cities- A common observation
in the location of cities and
towns in the cordillera is that a
majority of them are alongside
lake or river and based in the
south of this region. It is
estimated that the Cordillera
region represents 13.04% of
Canada’s total population
concluding in the
approximation that 4,433,900
people inhabit the region of
the Canadian cordillera.
The largest, most dense settlement in the
Canadian cordillera is Vancouver city.
33. Location and Landscape
Location and Landscape- The Canadian
Shield is the largest region in Canada and is
located in the some northern and central part
of Canada surrounding Hudson and James
Bay. The Canadian Shield represents nearly
half of Canada’s entire land area. Landscape
within the Canadian Shield combines open
areas of rock formed into the core of North
America with vast forest, wetlands around
the eastern Hudson bay area, tundra’s and
rolling hills. The Canadian Shield was the
first know region of the North American to
be permanently raised over sea level. The
Canadian Shield began as a mountainous
area; however over time water, wind and
physical forces eroded the mountains
reducing to a hard, even land. As the ice age
came forth glacier created depressions in the
land of Hudson’s bay and carved lakes out
from the land.
34. Weather and Climate
Weather and Climate- Since the
Canadian Shield is very large the
climate varies. In the southern areas of
the Canadian Shield follows a
seasonal patter; winters are cold and
snowstorms can be extreme winter
temperature averages bellow freezing
and summers climate tends to be
warm ordinarily at 25 Degrees
Celsius. The Canadian Shield is
affected by weather through both
communities and agriculture for
example if an ice storm (a storm of
freezing rain) is to develop, the thick
glossy ice rain could easily snap
telephone and electrical wires as well
as freeze crops to the point of death.
Weather and climate is often affected
by how far north or south an area is;
the further north the colder climate the
further south the warmer the
temperature will rise.
35. Flora and Fauna
Flora and Fauna- The Canadian
Shield has a variety ecosystems
of plants and animals that have
each learned and developed
ways of adapting to the freezing
cold Canadian shield winters.
The vegetation in this area is
limited because most of the
areas only contain a thin layer
of soil. Some vegetation would
include coniferous forest
growing in the north and
deciduous trees developing
further down south in the
Canadian Shield region; there
are however areas of mixed
forest as well. Wildlife in the
Shield includes grizzly bears,
wood buffalo, an assortment of
reptilian species and fish.
36. Natural Resources and Food
Natural Resources and Food- In
the Canadian shield rich deposits
of minerals, lakes and streams full
of waters and vast forest are the
main resources in this region.
Non-renewable materials are often
and essentially the large
accumulated areas of minerals
such as gold, nickel, silver and
zinc. The renewable resources in
the Shield include water provides
residence with hydro electricity,
apples orchards and trees. All of
these resources must be harvested
carefully to be given time to
reproduce. Canadian shield foods
are often obtained through dairy
and potato farming. Considering
the thin layers of rocky soil few
area are habitable for certain
plants and agricultural farming.
37. Urban Development and Cities
Urban development and Cities-
Only few people are currently
living in the northern
communities in the Canadian
Shield because of swampy
bogs, rocky land and cold
wetland terrain. A majority of
the people live in the south
central area of this region. It is
estimated that the Shield
consists of 63% of Canada
entire population; over half of
Canadians are currently living
in that region. A result of the
wide spread land of the
Canadian Shield creates a
rough approximation that there
is over 3.5 inhabitants per
square Kilometer.
