Geography of Canada--Team 63
Harmful effect(s) of acid rain in Canada.
Destroys animals' habitats; Kills trees and plants; Pollutes rivers and poisons fish
Ways that Canada has worked to stop acid rain and pollution
Build factories that don't pollute the air; Emission laws have been passed for cars; Citizens are encouraged to walk/ride public transportation; Government now regulates industries
Throughout the Canadian Shield
Valuable minerals, such as nickel, copper, gold, silver, zinc, and uranium, can be found here in Canada.
Canadian Shield
A huge, rocky region that curves around Hudson Bay like a giant horseshoe. The Shield covers half the land area of Canada.
Great Lakes
Acid rain and pollution are environmental issues that this physical feature is facing.
Hudson Bay
Bay in north-eastern Canada.
Northern and Western Hemispheres
Canada is in these two hemispheres.
North America
Canada is located on this continent.
Harmful effect(s) of logging in Canada
It reduces the quality of the air; It destroys animals' habitats; It causes erosion, which leads to flooding.
Causes of pollution in Canada
Machines that extract minerals from the Canadian Shield; Factories that burn coal in the Great Lakes region; Automobile emissions in Canada's large cities
United States and Canada
These two countries contribute the most to acid rain in the Great Lakes region.
Farming
This Canadian industry is supported by the rich, fertile soil in Canada's western plains region.
The region near the Great Lakes and the United States' border
This area of Canada has the highest population distribution.
Burning of fossil fuels (factories and cars)
This is the main cause of acid rain in Canada's Great Lakes region.
Densely Populated
This is the population distribution along the St Lawrence River.
The climate is too cold and harsh.
This is why so few people live in the northern region of Canada.
Its abundance of mineral resources
This is why the Canadian Shield so important to Canada.
Frozen Tundra
This large geographic feature dominates northern Canada.
Acid Rain
This occurs when air pollution combines with water molecules in the atmosphere.
Canadian Shield Region
This region of Canada is facing major problems with the over-extraction of mineral resources and trees.
Southern Region around the US border
This region of Canada is the most densely populated.
Population Distribution
This term is defined as "a pattern of where people live".
The climate is mild with plenty of rainfall.
This would more than likely cause a region to be densely populated.
Little access to natural resources
This would most likely cause an area to have a low population distribution.
Great Lakes
a group of five freshwater lakes of the central North America between the United States and Canada
Pacific Ocean
largest ocean
Quebec
province in Canada; official languages are French and English
Rocky Mountains
the major mountain range in western North America
Atlantic Ocean
the ocean located to the east of Canada
St. Lawrence River
waterway located in eastern Canada
