This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Canada's Geography(3), Canada's Geography Section 3 Can be broken down into five themes Location Location- Absolute location is the exact point of where something is on a map. Montreal Canada- Latitude: 45° 30′ 0″ N Longitude: 73° 40′ 0″ W Quebec Canada- Latitude: 45° to 63° N Longitude: 57° to 80° W Vancouver BC Canada- Latitude: 49° 13° N Longitude: 123° 06°W Toronto Ont. Canada- Latitude: 43° 40° N Longitude: 79° 24° W Relative Location of Canada is north of the United States, East of Japan, and West of Europe, South of the Arctic Circle., Canada's Geography Section 3 Can be broken down into five themes Region The St Laurence river is a functional region because it connects the Atlantic ocean to the Great Lakes. Forms part of the international boundary between Ontario, Canada, and the U.S. state of New York. The Saint Lawrence River served as the main route for European exploration of the North. The Seaway now permits ocean-going vessels to pass all the way to Lake Superior. Which allowed trade to come into Canada and the united states. Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia are the original provinces. Toronto is the cultural entertainment and financial city in Canada. Toronto is the economic capital. The Toronto Stock Exchange, the world's seventh largest, is headquartered in the city, along with a majority of Canada's corporations. The Toronto Stock Exchange, the world's seventh largest, is headquartered in the city, along with a majority of Canada's corporations. A formal region in Canada is are Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. The three territories are Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon. A perceptual region in Canada is French Canada because there really is no French Canada on the map., Canada's Geography Section 3 Can be broken down into five themes Movement Movement is the act, process, or result of moving. The traditions and inventions that come from Canada have been moved around the world. Hockey was first played in Canada. People that moved into new country's or states that used to live in Canada would introduce people to their inventions and traditions such as Hockey. Since Hockey has been shared and played all around the world it makes the game very popular. Canadians created maple syrup. They made maple syrup out of the sap from the maple trees. It was so sweet and delicious that it became very popular in Canada. Canada shared their maple syrup with others, and now It is noticed all around the world. Besides sharing and introducing, movement can also mean trading. Trading is considered movement because when people trade things it gets introduced by other countries. Canada and U.S.A. are the biggest trading partners. Canada trades 85% of their goods for 25% of U.S.A's goods. Movement can also mean sharing religions. Canadians have their own different religions. They have shared their religions with others., Canada's Geography Section 3 Can be broken down into five themes Place Physical Characteristics: Southeastern corner of Canada contain the four Atlantic Provinces. Theses areas of land are called Newfoundland, Labrador, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Novia Scotia. All four provinces border the Atlantic Ocean. They are often called the Maritimes. It means “related to the sea.” The coastlines of these provinces are surrounded by hundreds of inlets and bays. There are two provinces that surround the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River. They are Quebec and Ontario. Their distinguished by three diverse landscapes. One is the the Canadian Shield that has poor soil and a cold climate. It covers most of the two provinces. Second is is Hudson Bay Lowlands, which is flat and barely populated. It's a swampy region between the Canadian Shield and the Hudson Bay. Third is the St. Lawrence Lowlands which has rich soil and a mild climate. Then there are the Prairie Provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. They are located in southwestern Canada between the Rocky Mountains and the Canadian Shield. These provinces get their name because they have long rolling fields of wheat. The Prairie Provinces offer cool climate, lakes and lazy rivers. Lastly, there are the Northern Territories which are near the Yukon Territories, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut—Canada's newest territory. These territories are freezing cold, largely treeless landscapes. Human Characteristics: Quebec and Ontario contain most of Canada's population (60%) and economic activity. The Maritimes' coastlines contain small villages for fishing and nice harbors. The grand banks of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia (in the Maritimes) were the world's richest fishing areas. Foresty and farming are also important in those provinces. They also produce fruit, vegetable, and dairy. Yukon Territory in the northern Territories consist of 40% of Canada's population. But the rest of these territories have little to no inhabitants. They are called Inuits rather than Eskimos. Schools in these remote areas are using modern technology such as the Internet to reduce isolation., Canada's Geography Section 3 Can be broken down into five themes Human-Environment Interaction
