Canadian ShieldCanadian ShieldHow old is it?
◦4 billion years oldHow was it formed?
◦Active volcanoes, plains, mountains.◦Erosion (water and ice) and deposition
(plate movement) created thick rockWhat natural resources exist
here?◦Thin, acidic soils◦Some good farming land

Arctic LowlandsArctic LowlandsHow old is it?
◦Probably 2-4 billion years because worn down
How was it formed?◦Plateau and lowland plains – probably
through erosion/glaciationWhat natural resources exist here?◦Treeless◦Poorly drained soil◦Short growing season – lichen & moss

Interior PlainsInterior PlainsHow old is it?
◦Ranges: Paleozoic to CenozoicHow was it formed?
◦Inland seas receded◦erosion
What natural resources exist here?◦Sparse vegetation, cacti (southern
central)◦Deep soils (chernozem, 25cm deep,
black) – good for growing wheat
