Pattern of Canada’s Landforms
![Page 2: Pattern of Canada’s Landforms. Canada has three basic types of landforms. 1. Shield 2. Highlands 3. Lowlands They form a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649f565503460f94c79c32/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Canada has three basic types of landforms.1. Shield2. Highlands3. Lowlands
They form a pattern.

• The core (geologically speaking) of the country is the Canadian (or Precambrian) Shield, the ancient (4 billion years in places) hard rock from which all the other areas were created.
![Page 4: Pattern of Canada’s Landforms. Canada has three basic types of landforms. 1. Shield 2. Highlands 3. Lowlands They form a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649f565503460f94c79c32/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• A surrounding series of plains or lowlands, made of sedimentary rock, in part eroded from the ancient Shield, including the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Lowlands, the Interior Plains, the Hudson Bay Lowlands, and the Arctic Lowlands
![Page 5: Pattern of Canada’s Landforms. Canada has three basic types of landforms. 1. Shield 2. Highlands 3. Lowlands They form a pattern.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649f565503460f94c79c32/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• A mountainous rim, also made up of, in part sediments from the ancient Shield. Unlike the lowland areas, the mountainous rocks have been uplifted by tectonic forces.

• these include the Appalachians (the oldest and hence the lowest due to longer erosion), the Innuitian Mountains of the very far north, and the Western Cordillera (the youngest, and highest, is actually a series of several different ranges dominated by the famous Rocky Mountains.

The Creation of Canada’s Landforms!
The next few slides contain a series of hand drawn images illustrating the creation of Canada’s Landform regions.
