Q

great lakes-St Lawrence

A

Around Toronto area, triangle from Lake Huron, Ontario, Erie. Escarpments (Steep cliff from erosion, flat plains & deep river valleys), Cdn shield north, Appalachians are south. Very fertile soil. Lots of mixed forest. “Continental climate”

25
Interior plains
central north america, gently rolling hills and plains, known for tornadoes, continental climate, prairie grasses, northern areas have boreal forests into tundra of the arctic
26
Canadian Shield
Area around Hudson's Bay. Flattened by erosion, very rocky, most soil gone from glaciers, lots of rivers, swamps, muskegs. Climate varied, colder the more northern. Boreal forest. Birch poplar, small weak trees.
27
Intermountain
Plateaus between the coast and rocky mountains, flat, cattle ranches, rivers do not meet the sea, but go to lakes or into desert. Very little precipitation. Sparse grassland/desert
28
Western Cordillera
West coast of North America. Mountain ranges. Lots of volcanic activity. Newer than Appalachian mtns and not worn down. Maritime climate moist and mild. Windward slopes= lots of trees. Leeward = grasses/cacti
29
Arctic
very north, lowlands and mountains covered by glaciers, severe weather, 10 month winters, actually a DESERT b/c of very little precipitation
30
