4. Describe, in detail, the landscape of the Great
Lakes Lowlands. What created this landscape?
Glaciers created a rolling landscape and
deposited (left behind) lots of soil, sand, gravel,
and big boulders from the Canadian Shield.
The Great Lakes are located in big basins that
were carved out by glaciers!
7. Why is the landscape ideal for both agriculture
and urban areas (cities)?
This region has excellent soils and a warm
climate. It is flat, so ideal for transportation,
farming, and growing cities.
It is sometimes referred to as the urban heartland
of Ontario because almost 50% of Canada’s
population lives in this region!
