Place and Region
Cordillera Place and Region
●
●
●
●
●
The Cordillera is made up of
plateaus, mountains, trenches
valleys, glaciers, and
volcanoes.
The mountains were created
by plate collisions making the
earth's crust warp turning
volcanic rocks in mountains.
The plate movement also
made plateaus and valleys.
White Rock Beach because
the scenery is nice and theres
a cool rock in the water.
49*N,122*W
Its near the Strait of Georgia.
Interior Plains Place and Region
●
●
●
●
●
The Interior plains is made up
of flat land,rolling hills, and
river valleys.
This region was formed by
rivers carrying soil deposited
from the Canadian shield and
then it became land.
Visit West Edmonton Mall
because its the biggest mall in
North America and its really
great.
53*N, 113*W
Its in the west of Edmonton
Canadian Shield Place and Region
●
●
●

This region is made up of
rocky landforms and is the
oldest region. It was once a
volcanic region but after a lot
of erosion it became flat and
rocky.

Its on the east coast.
Arctic Place and Region
●
●
●
●

The Arctic is made up of plains , lowlands, mountains and fold
mountains.
Pressure from the Canadian Shield pushed up rock to form a
formation of fold mountains.
You should visit Nunavut because of the cool rock forms called
Inukshuk.
70*N, 83*W
Its in the north of Canada.

Movement
Map
Cordillera Movement
●
●
It looks like most people live more south
in the Appalachian Region because its
less mountainy and its harder to live up
there.
More people live near the coast/
Vancouver place because
its warmer there.
Interior Plain Movement
●
●
For the topographic part of movement it
does not really matter because its
mostly flat there.
Seems like the majority of the people
live in a place where its not too hot or not
too cold I guess.
Canadian Shield Movement
●
●
For the topographic part of movement
it does not really matter because
everywhere is rocky and flat.
More people live near where the
St. Lawrence lowland part because its
a lot more warmer there.
St. Lawrence Lowlands Movement
●
●
The entire place is flat and low so a lot
of people like it there.
Its really warm there so a lot of Canadians
choose to live there.
Appalachian Movement
●
●
The entire place is flowy and rolling hills
like so people like this place.
Everyone lives near the coast because its
so warm there.
Arctic Movement
●
●
For Topographic reasons this place is ok
to live in.
It is SO cold for people to be living there
so that supports the reason why not
much people live there.
