How did geography effect the development of the different regions of Canada?

Geographical Regions




Geography effected the development of the different regions of Canada in many different ways. Every region has its own geographical characteristics. For example, every region has its own climate, vegetation, and land forms. Interior plains have mostly flat lands, thick trees, and maritime climate. The Canadian Shield is mountains, boreal forest, and extremely cold weather.

The Western Cordillera is also mountainous, wet, have many trees. The Arctic's landform is a combination of lowland and mountains. This region's climate is extremely cold, and there is barely any vegetation because of its severe weather. Appalachian region is also a very mountainous area that has much vegetation and has a not-too-hot summer, and not-too-cold winter. St. Lawrence Lowland is a flat, fertile land that had continental climate, and may types of vegetations such as maple, beech, oak, ash, pine.

Lastly, the Intermountain region is flat area that has very dry weather, and has plants that can live in dry weather. Every different region has its own characteristic. Therefore, they all affect the development of Canada in different ways. For example, Intermountain region, Western Cordillera, Interior Plains, St. Lawrence Lowland, Appalachian Region, and Coastal Plains have thick woods, so they support Canada with Logging. Regions such as St, Lawrence Lowland, Interior Plains, has fertile soil, so they support Canada's development by agriculture. Even places like the Arctic, where there are barely any plants, help the development of Canada by oil.
