Lawrence Lowlands, the Interior Plains, the Canadian Shield, the Western Cordillera, the Intermountain Region, and the Arctic. There are eight physical regions in Canada, the Appalachian Region, the Coastal Plains, the Great Lakes-St. It also has a mild terrain, generally having flatlands, with mountainous areas in the West, and lowlands in the East. Canada’s climate is fairly moderate, with temperate weather to Arctic conditions in the North. Canada is comprised of ten provinces and three territories, the provinces all lying in the South, and the territories in the North. It is surrounded by three oceans, the Arctic, the Pacific, and the Atlantic. Geography of the Lands Ĭanada is the second largest country in the world, encompassing 9,970,610 km² of land. 6.6 Wildlife and Vegetation of this Region:.6.4 Mid-Interior: Wet forests and high plateaus.6.2 Eastern Border: The Rocky Mountains.It certainly was appropriate and timely for the Royal Geological and Mining Society of the Netherlands when celebrating its 75th birthday to organize and call together a symposium, focussing attention on the geology and geotechnology of coastal lowlands geology to better understand their formation and evolution, geotechnology to better manage and harvest resources as much as protect a unique and crucial environment. As lowlands subside and sea level rises, apparently these days at an increasing rate, concern about this environment world-wide is also rising. Dutch 'low landers' wrestled their land from the sea, in turn the sea forged a nation of independent fishermen, navigators, farmers and traders who built their towns and ships at the borders of the North and Zuyder Seas. As an example, Dutch history is a tale of human struggle and endeavour with and against the sea. Coastal lowlands, especially where rivers enter the region, are the cradles of great civilisations and there, of old, populations reached highest densities. Although the nearness to the sea was and still is fraught with danger coastal lowlands have always attracted human interest, providing challenging opportunity, holding the promise of profitable enterprise. geological and biological, as much as in the cultural and social sense.
Coastal Lowlands by virtue of their position across the boundary of land and sea belong to the earth's most dynamic systems.
