Canada's environmental issues
The Great Lakes are an important part of North America that provide water for many uses but are threatened by pollution. Factories near the Great Lakes have contributed to acid rain through emissions, harming water quality and ecosystems. In 1972, Canada and the US created an agreement to limit pollution and protect the Great Lakes. The Canadian Shield contains much of Canada's mineral and timber wealth but over-extraction has threatened resources, leading to legislation requiring environmental assessments of new projects.
Unit 5 Canada Environmental Issues 3
The Great Lakes are an important part of North America that provide water for many uses but have been impacted by pollution. Factories near the Great Lakes contributed to acid rain by releasing pollutants into the air and water, harming water quality and ecosystems. In 1972, Canada and the US created an agreement to limit pollution and protect the Great Lakes. The Canadian Shield contains much of Canada's mineral and timber wealth but over-extraction has threatened future availability; most provinces now require environmental assessments of projects.
Canada Environmental Concerns
The document discusses several environmental issues affecting Canada:
1) Acid rain caused by air pollution from factories and vehicles in both Canada and the United States damages forests and pollutes lakes.
2) Pollution from phosphorus and other chemicals dumped into the Great Lakes by factories around the region in the 1970s harmed wildlife and plants.
3) Mining activities to extract valuable minerals from the Canadian Shield damage the land and release harmful chemicals, though the government has implemented new rules to reduce pollution.
4) Logging practices like clear-cutting destroy forest habitats, but reforestation efforts and protected areas aim to sustainably manage Canada's timber resources.
Canadian environmental
The three major environmental issues in Canada are:
1. Pollution of the Great Lakes from waste dumping, runoff, and acid rain which harms wildlife and contaminates water sources.
2. Mining in the Canadian Shield extracts minerals but leaves long-term damage to soil, water, and ecosystems. It has been linked to increased human and animal sickness.
3. Deforestation of Canada's Boreal Forest for timber and to make way for mines threatens an ancient ecosystem and endangered species. Overuse is unsustainable and causes irreversible loss of forests.

Save the environment
The document discusses several major problems facing Earth's environment including increasing global temperatures caused by greenhouse gas emissions, melting polar ice caps and rising sea levels. Air pollution depletes the ozone layer and emits gases like carbon monoxide that damage the ozone. Acid rain from air pollutants harms plants and buildings. Deforestation reduces rainfall leading to droughts while pollution negatively impacts human health. The document calls for tree planting and conservation to protect the environment.
Cordilleran vegetation
The Cordilleran region covers western British Columbia, Yukon, and Alberta, containing both old and new mountain ranges with rivers and streams flowing east and west. The climate varies with altitude from warmer valleys to colder, snowier high mountains, with heavier rainfall on the west side. Vegetation changes from low to high elevations, featuring Douglas fir, red cedar, and hemlock in moist areas. Soil types depend on elevation, slope, rainfall, and plant cover, and the region contains three subregions - the Pacific Coast, Interior Plateau, and Rockies, falling within the Boreal, Taiga, and Montane Cordillera ecozones.
Chapter 13 section 1
Northern Europe is comprised of large islands and peninsulas, including the British Isles and Scandinavian Peninsula. The region has rough, rocky hills and low mountains, with more fertile farmland and plains found in southern parts. Glaciers have left their mark through coastal features like fjords and lakes. Natural resources from water, forests, soils, and energy sources have made Northern Europe wealthy, including oil and gas reserves in the North Sea, hydroelectric and geothermal energy, timber forests, and fertile land for agriculture. Despite seeming cold, the climate is actually mild due to warm ocean currents, bringing marine west coast climates to areas like Denmark, Britain, and western Norway.
Natural features of british isles
The document discusses the natural features and geography of the British Isles. It describes the variety of landscapes, from the white cliffs of Dover to agricultural farmlands, that resulted from the geological history of glacial periods covering parts of the country. However, many natural areas are now threatened by industrial pollution, with over 3500 million tons of waste pumped into the North Sea each year. The document also provides details on the types of forests, flowers, national parks and animal life found across the United Kingdom.
6 Physical regions of Canada
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 13ยฐC. 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
Coal In Pa
Coal has been an important industry in Pennsylvania for over 250 years. In its peak in 1918, 330,000 miners produced 277 million tons of coal. However, production declined through the mid-20th century due to economic factors and the rise of other energy sources. Today, around 7,000 Pennsylvanians work in coal mining, producing around 75 million tons annually. While an important resource, coal mining can damage the environment through acid drainage, groundwater disruption, and landscape changes unless properly regulated. Pennsylvania still has over 76 billion tons of untapped coal reserves remaining.
Landform regions 4:5
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.
Crowsnest Fire
A wildfire started in Alberta and quickly grew out of control, burning 20,000 hectares of forest. Many residents were evacuated as the fire created a 6-km wide, 50m tall wall of flames. While tourism in the area decreased due to the fire, most local businesses were not affected. Spray Lake Saw Mills salvaged burnt timber to create timber products and reduce waste, debarking trees and keeping wood chips clean to reduce carbon content. The area will take time to recover from the fire but it will create new ecological diversity as timber stands no longer shade the ground, allowing rich undergrowth to develop.
Blog notes
Australia and New Zealand were first settled by Aboriginal and Maori people thousands of years ago. They were later colonized by Britain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Both countries have diverse climates and landscapes, and are wealthy, developed nations today. The Pacific Islands have a variety of climates and were some of the last places settled by humans, resulting in unique cultures. Antarctica is a frozen continent covered in ice and home only to research stations, with climate research being a major focus.
New zealand
New Zealand is one of the most environmentally friendly countries with unique flora and fauna. It was once untouched by humans and home to many now-extinct species. The isolation allowed a unique ecosystem to develop over millions of years. The arrival of the Maori people 1,000 years ago and later European settlers disrupted this isolation, introducing predators that drove many species to extinction. The Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand and have a distinct culture including traditional dances and tattoo art. Notable facts about New Zealand include its longest river, highest mountain, largest lake, and status as one of three countries with two national anthems.

Countries use natural resources as materials to create finished products, with examples being apples made into apple pie, gold into jewelry, and oil into plastic toys. Having abundant natural resources allows countries to produce goods and services, strengthening their economies.
