Landforms of Arctic Archipelago’s Landforms of the Arctic Archipelago’s are made out of Ice from the Sea, Islands/Archipelagos, Icebergs, and Beach’s Famous Features/Landform’s? Iceberg’s and Snow are a famous Land feature/Landform. How The Region was formed? It was formed by the cold and dry weather which has caused it to be like this permanently.
The Prairies The Plains are located from the Middle of Alberta too around The West-end of Ontario. The weather reaches an average of -16 Degrees Celsius during January. Precipitation happens more likely during summer.
What are the Natural Resources? Manitoba – Hydro Electric Power Alberta – Fossil Fuels and Coal Saskatchewan – Natural Gas, Uranium, and Potash How the region was formed? The region was formed by the Rocky Mountains and the big shadow would kill most of the trees from not seeing the sunlight.
The Cordillera The Cordillera covers Most of British Columbia and The Yukon. Lots of things can be found in The Cordillera such as Mountains, Deep Valleys, Plateau’s, and Coastal Regions. Winter usually last’s up to Eight month in The Cordillera.
