5 Interior Plains Location North 68*N East 96*W South 50*N West 135*W The Interior Plains is the 2nd most western Region next to the Cordillera Region
6 Canadian Shield Location North 79*N East 55*W South 45*N West 119*W The Canadian Shield surrounds Hudson Bay
7 St. Lawrence Lowlands Location North 49*N East 61*W South 42*N' West 83* W The St. Lawrence Lowlands wants to be the west coast but the Appalachian Region beat them to it

11 Place and Region
12 Cordillera Place and Region The Cordillera is made up of plateaus, mountains, trenches valleys, glaciers, and volcanoes. The mountains were created by plate collisions making the earth's crust warp turning volcanic rocks in mountains. The plate movement also made plateaus and valleys. White Rock Beach because the scenery is nice and theres a cool rock in the water. 49*N,122*W Its near the Strait of Georgia.
13 Interior Plains Place and Region The Interior plains is made up of flat land,rolling hills, and river valleys. This region was formed by rivers carrying soil deposited from the Canadian shield and then it became land. Visit West Edmonton Mall because its the biggest mall in North America and its really great. 53*N, 113*W Its in the west of Edmonton
14 Canadian Shield Place and Region This region is made up of rocky landforms and is the oldest region. It was once a volcanic region but after a lot of erosion it became flat and rocky. You should visit the Niagara Falls in the Canadian Shield Region because it looks so cool. 43*N, 79*W Its in Ontario
15 St. Lawrence Lowlands Place and Region This region is made up of Lowlands, Rivers and lakes. This Region is surrounded by all the great lakes of Canada and along time ago these lakes were glaciers and they melted and became the lakes. You should Visit the CN tower in the St. Lawrence Lowlands because its very tall and its looks cool. 43*N 79*W Its in Toronto.

25 Movement
26 Map
27 Cordillera Movement It looks like most people live more south in the Appalachian Region because its less mountainy and its harder to live up there. More people live near the coast/ Vancouver place because its warmer there.
28 Interior Plain Movement For the topographic part of movement it does not really matter because its mostly flat there. Seems like the majority of the people live in a place where its not too hot or not too cold I guess.
29 Canadian Shield Movement For the topographic part of movement it does not really matter because everywhere is rocky and flat. More people live near where the St. Lawrence lowland part because its a lot more warmer there.
30 St. Lawrence Lowlands Movement The entire place is flat and low so a lot of people like it there. Its really warm there so a lot of Canadians choose to live there.
31 Appalachian Movement The entire place is flowy and rolling hills like so people like this place. Everyone lives near the coast because its so warm there.
32 Arctic Movement For Topographic reasons this place is ok to live in. It is SO cold for people to be living there so that supports the reason why not much people live there.
