Landform Regions of Canada Canadian Shield Provinces Included Age of Rock Quebec, Ont, Sask, Nunavut, Manitoba, Lab, NWT 4 billion years ago Appalachian NL, Nova Scotia, Mountains PEI, New Western Cordillera Brunswick, Quebec BC, Yukon, part of Alberta Innuitian Mountains Nunavut, NWT Arctic Lowlands Nunavut, NWT Interior Plains Alberta, Sask., Manitoba, NWT Great Lakes- Ontario, Quebec, St. Lawrence Labrador Lowlands Hudson Bay Ontario, Lowlands Manitoba, Quebec Type of Rock Igneous Relief Gradient Process that shaped the area Low relief Low lying areas with rolling hills Largely shaped by volcanoes and glacial movement Mixture of 1000m or igneous, lower metamorphic & sedimentary 65 million years Mixture of all 3000m ago three but mostly metamorphic Rolling hills and broad valleys Steep young mountains with deep valleys The North American and Eurasian plates collided, pushing land upward (folding). Erosion over time Folding and faulting of the earth’s crust (movement of plates) Approx 250 million years (younger than Appalachians) Approx 500 million years ago Mixture of all 2000m three but mostly metamorphic Steep sided valleys and mountains Folding and faulting of the earth’s crust (movement of plates) Sedimentary with igneous underneath Low elevation Rolling hills Formed by sediments deposited by glaciers Approx 500 years ago Mostly sedimentary Low elevation Steep slopes on either side of the plains Formed by sediments deposited by glaciers 10 000 years ago they were drained of seawater Approx 800 million Mostly sedimentary Low elevation Rolling hills Formed by sediments deposited by glaciers Sedimentary with igneous underneath Mainly flat land Rolling hills Formed by sediments deposited by glaciers 375 million years ago
