Geography

Canada occupies almost the entire northern half of the North American continent and numerous adjacent islands. In the east, the coast of the country is washed by the Atlantic, in the west by the Pacific, and in the north by the Arctic Ocean. The country's territory extends from 83 degrees north latitude in the north (Cape Columbia on Ellesmere Island) to 41 degrees north latitude in the south (Mild Island on Lake Erie). The area of the country is 9984 thousand sq. km. MyGeography.ru

Slide 4

Relief

The bulk of the country is occupied by prairie plains and the Canadian Shield plateau. To the west of the prairies are the continental lowlands of British Columbia and the Rocky Mountains, while the Appalachians rise from Quebec south to the Maritime provinces. The continental lands of the Canadian North are bordered to the north by a large archipelago, the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, which includes the largest islands in the world. This region of polar ice lies between the Queen Elizabeth Islands and is home to the magnetic north pole. The most populated area of the country is the Quebec-Windsor corridor along the lowland shores of the St. Lawrence River and the southeastern Great Lakes. MyGeography.ru

Slide 5

Rivers and lakes

MyGeography.ru Canada has more lakes than any other country in the world and has a significant supply of fresh water. In eastern Canada, the St. Lawrence River flows into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, having the largest estuary in the world, where the island of Newfoundland is located. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are separated by the Bay of Fundy, which is famous for the highest tides in the world. North of the 60th parallel are numerous lakes (the largest being the Great Bear Lake and the Great Slave Lake) and are crossed by the longest river in the country, the Mackenzie River.

Slide 6

The Great Lakes are a system of freshwater lakes in North America, the United States and Canada. Includes a number of large and medium-sized reservoirs connected by rivers and straits.

Niagara Falls is the common name for three waterfalls on the Niagara River, separating the American state of New York from the Canadian province of Ontario. Niagara Falls are Horseshoe Falls, sometimes also called Canadian Falls, American Falls and Veil Falls. Although the difference in height is not very great, the falls are very wide, and in terms of the volume of water passing through it, Niagara Falls is the most powerful in North America. The height of the waterfalls is 53 meters. The foot of the American Falls is obscured by a pile of rocks, which is why its apparent height is only 21 meters. The width of the American Falls is 323 meters, the Horseshoe Falls is 792 meters. The volume of falling water reaches 5700 or more m³/s. MyGeography.ru Niagara Falls

Slide 8

Climate

From the Pacific Ocean in the west to the Atlantic in the east, a temperate climate belt stretches in the southern part of the country. Average January and July temperatures vary for each area. Winter can be very harsh in some regions of the country, with average monthly temperatures reaching 15˚C below zero in the southern part of the country, and sometimes as low as −45˚C with strong icy winds. The minimum temperature ever observed in Canada is −63˚C (in the Yukon). Every year the level of snow cover can reach several hundred centimeters (for example, in Quebec the average is 337 cm). The coast of British Columbia, especially Vancouver Island, is an exception and has a temperate climate with mild and rainy winters. Summer temperatures can reach 35˚C, even 40˚C, given the humidity index. MyGeography.ru

Slide 9

Flora

Vegetation is represented by: deciduous forests, mixed forests, taiga, tundra, Arctic deserts of the North. The northern part of Canada is covered with tundra, which extends far to the south. Heathers, sedges, shrubby birch and willow grow here. To the south of the tundra there is a wide strip of forests. Coniferous forests predominate; the main species are black spruce in the east and white spruce in the west, pine, larch, thuja, etc. Less common deciduous forests consist of poplar, alder, birch and willow. Forests in the Great Lakes region are especially diverse (American elm, Weymouth pine, Canadian tsuga, oak, chestnut, beech). On the Pacific coast, coniferous forests of Douglas fir, Sitka spruce, Alaskan and red cedar are common); Arbutus and Oregon oak are found near Vancouver. In the coastal Atlantic provinces - Acadian forests with balsam fir, black and red spruce; also cedar, American larch, yellow birch, beech. MyGeography.ru

Slide 10

Fauna

The tundra zone is home to reindeer, polar hare, lemming, arctic fox and the original musk ox. To the south, the fauna is more diverse - forest caribou, red elk, elk, and in mountainous areas - bighorn sheep and bighorn goats. Rodents are quite numerous: the Canadian chikari squirrel, chipmunk, American flying squirrel, beaver, jumper from the jerboa family, muskrat, porcupine, meadow and American hare, pika. Among the cat predators for Canada are the Canadian lynx and the puma. There are wolves, foxes, gray bears - grizzlies, and raccoons.
