The Arctic is the in the north side of Canada.

Place And region
The Arctic region includes plains,lowlands,and mountains.Pressure at the northeastern edge of the Canadian Shield pushed up the sedimentary rock to form a range of fold mountains
When the Earth's temperatures rose for reasons still being determined today the ice melted revealing a scarred landscape of beauty. Within the Arctic are landforms, minerals, habitats, and much more.
When people go to the Arctic region people should go to Churchill because it’s known for there beluga whale hotspots and the beautiful northernlights

Human-Environmental Interaction
 Some of the natural resources in the Arctic region is uranium , nickel , copper , zinc , silver, gold ,diamonds Oil and natural gas in the Arctic.

Movement
 Not many people Live in the Arctic because it is very pricey to get food up there and it is very cold up there.
 The population is low because it is very cold up there and not many plants.

The Corillera is in the west coast of
Canada.

 Place and Region
 The towering peaks and plateaus of the Cordillera took shape millions of years ago, when the westward moving North American tectonic plate collided with the Pacific plate. The collision uplifted mountain chains in British Columbia and the Yukon. In the last 20,000 years, weathering, erosion, and glaciation have carved the sharp relief of Rocky Mountain peaks such as Rampart
Mountain in Banff National Park. The westward movement of the North
American plate continues unabated, exposing British Columbia’s populous coastal lowlands to an ever-present threat of earthquakes. Some of the vegetation in the Cordillera includes douglas fir, forage grass, white spruce, lodge pole pine, ponderosa pine, and many other grasses.
 Places to visit Batad Rice Terraces
 For 2,000 years, the high rice fields of the Ifugao have followed the contours of the mountains. The fruit of knowledge handed down from one generation to the next, and the expression of sacred traditions and a delicate social balance, they have helped to create a landscape of great beauty that expresses the harmony between humankind and the environment. Also some other places to go visit is the Rocky Mountains for it’s very beautiful scenery.

 Human-Environmental Interaction
 Some of the natural resources in the this region is forestry (this is the biggest industry in the region), agriculture , mining (iron, lead, zinc , silver , copper and nickel ) and fisheries.

 Movement
 Most people in the Cordillera live in the bottom. This is where the
Interior Plateau is. It is the flattest land in the Cordillera because the rest in very rocky.
 Many people live in the west coast because it is the warmest place in the Cordillera.

The Interior Plains is in the middleeastern part of Canada.

 Place and Region
 These deposits formed horizontal layers of sedimentary rock,which became large areas of mostly flat land,rolling hills,and river valleys.
Some of the animals include mule deer, pronghorn antelopes, brown bears, wolves, and elks. These animals make this region their home because there is lots of space and food.
 If you ever go to the interior plains region you should visit the West
Edmonton Mall it has over 800 stores and is the largest shopping mall in North America.

 Human-Environmental Interaction
 The Interior Plains Contains large amounts of non-metallic minerals and gas deposits. Oil, gas gypsum, coal, and potash are minerals that are usually exported to other places (Interior Plains ~ Land of
Open Skies). Resources like Rivers, forests and rich soil are generally used within the interior plains (Interior Plains ~ Land of Open Skies).

 Movement
 Most people live in the south because it is the flattest.
 People settle in the bottom of the Interior Plains because it’s warm and not really rainy.

 Some of the ancient mountain ranges in the
Canadian Shield can still be recognized as a ridge or belt of hills, and was originally carved out from the movement during the Ice
Age. https://ecozoneexperts.wikispaces.com/file/view/Cana dianShield.jpg/125443205/CanadianShield.jpg

 The forests in the Canadian
Shield are a mixture of birch, aspen, tamarack, black and white spruce, willow, hemlock, pine, and fir trees.
And as the elevation increases, the conditions are more harsh (subject to wind, snow, cold, and ice, and intense radiation) and fewer species of trees can grow at that elevation. What does grow in this Alpine tundra are perennial grasses and semi woody shrubs.

 Arctic plants have adapted to cold, long winters. The height of Arctic plants are also governed by snow depth. Plants that peek above the snow are going to get a lot of strong winds, blowing snow, and being eaten by caribou. They can even survive being covered by snow and ice for over a year.

 In the map it indicates that the people like to live where the soil and land is fertile.
That is why it shows people living on the bank of the great lakes.

As the graph shows in
Quebec City it gets a lot of rain and gets very cold over the winter so people tend to live near water. Possibly because fisherman like to catch there own food instead of buying? Who knows. http://opt ion.canad

Topography
 The topography in the
Canadian Shield is a combination of rocky outcropping and flat fertile plains.
Where People Live
 Most of the people in that area tend to live near the water along the St Lawrence River, on the border of the Great Lakes,
Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean and Hudson’s Bay area
 This is because the oldest settlements can be found in this area.

 The Canadian Shield surrounds Hudson Bay http://media.web.britannica.com/ebmedia/63/83463-004-4CCD709D.jpg

 Around 362,846 people are employed and working in
Quebec. Industries include tourism, forestry, farming, fishing, mining, quarrying, oil and gas.
 In Nunavut around 12800 people are employed and working. Industries include Agriculture, forestry, fishing, hunting and logging.
 In Toronto around 1.3 million people are employed and working. Industries include Forestry, Fishing, Tourists,
Farming.

 The Great Lakes/St.
Lawrence Lowland is the smallest region in Canada.
This region is mainly flat land surrounded by few hills. It was once covered in pine forest, birch, hemlock, and maple trees, but most of this land has now been cleared for the use for farmland because the soil is very fertile.

 As the soil is very fertile, farming is the main industry here. Maple trees
(Maple Syrup) and other plants such as tobacco plants, peaches, cherries, grapes (Wineries), apples, hay and many other vegetables. Such as carrots and beans are found there.

 As the map indicates people like to live by the water because the soil is very fertile and great for farming! (The red on map is where a lot of people live)
 In this climate graph it shows that the average temperature is around 10-20 degrees. And the average precipitation is 68-69 mm.

Topography
 The whole region is flat so people don’t find find much trouble getting around so people like it there.
Where people live
 It is nice and warm there so a lot of people like to live there instead of the Canadian Shield around Nunavut.



 The physical Landscape of the region consists of rolling hills, valleys, small mountains, highlands, and coastal fjords. There isn't much vegetation as the rock layers gradually covered the vegetation, and over time these layers became large deposits of coal.

 For the vegetation in the
Appalachian Region is heavily forested with coniferous and deciduous trees. Both can survive in poor and unproductive mountain soil and both can live on the plateaus and in river valleys.

 This density map shows that once again people like to live by the water because it is very fertile there!. Also because this is where all the jobs and where the capital of the city is.

Topography
 Most of the region is covered in kettle lakes and rolling hills so people like it that it isn’t too steep and is easy to get around.

Where people live
 Everyone lives near the coast because its so warm there. And because this is where the main part of the city is and that’s where all of the jobs are.

 Newfoundland is in the Appalachian Region.

 About 18200 people are employed and working in

Mining, Fishing, Tourism and quarrying.
