The Canadian Farmers Cooperative should hold their annual summit in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands. The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands is a good region for farming due to the landform, the climate, and the vegetation. This lowland is described as a mostly flat area with glacial hills and deep river valleys; good for farming and transporting goods. The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence lowlands consist of two lowlands: The Great Lakes Lowlands to the west side and the St. Lawrence Lowlands to the east side. The bedrock formations of these lowlands are made from mostly sedimentary rocks; including layers of sandstone, dolomite, limestone and shale. These sedimentary rocks were formed by the eroding of the melted glaciers which also formed the Great Lakes.
These lowlands did not just appear, the Great Lakes Lowlands were created by the process of glaciation and the St. Lawrence River was created by faulting. The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands was once covered by mostly glaciers that carried large amounts of clay, sand, and flint which was spread throughout the region after the gl...
Glacial Lake Peterborough had many attributing spillways attached to it, feeding meltwater and sediment from the ice margin and or other glacial lakes. Much of the sediment that was deposited in Glacial Lake Peterborough came from either from the stagnant ice blocks located on the Oak Ridges moraine or from the Lake Algonquin drainage system. Much of the deposition in this lake was dominated by sediment stratification, which may have been largely influenced by thermal stratification. As a result of thermal stratification occurring in this glacial lake sediment inputs were greatly influenced depending on the different sediment densities between the lake bottom water to that of the incoming meltwater and if the inflow density was less/more than the bottom water than the lake water bottom, than new transport and depositional paths were created
This is a report based on three days of observations and testing in the region known as the Peterborough drumlin field. It will address a variety of regional elements, such as climate, soil, vegetation, hydrology, geomorphology, and geology. A variety of sites located on the Canadian Shield, the zone of thick glacial deposits to the south, and the transition between them will be the focus of the report. It is supplemented with previous research on the region. September 8, 1999, day one of the field study involved an area of largely granite bedrock that is part of the Canadian Shield and is the most northern point of study (see Map 2). September 9, 1999, day two, involved three main areas of study: the Bridgenorth esker (Map 3), Mark S. Burnham Park (Map 4), and the Rice Lake drumlin (Map 6). These sites are in areas of thick glacial deposits. September 10, 1999, day three, involved studying the Warsaw Caves (see Map 5) as a transition zone between Precambrian Shield rock to the north and Paleozoic rock to the south. A general map of the entire study region is provided by Map 1.
... look out for high profile contacts and good image building activities especially due to the on going outsourcing concern. As community theatre boards include executive level staff these consulting companies could get high visibility and a sophisticated image by pairing up with something as ?cultured? as theatre. These companies can be requested by the boards of community theaters to sponsor the building and maintenance of the theatre websites in exchange for good PR and contacts.
The pre-contact period is characterized by the coalescence of communities in both the Ontario and League areas of the Iroquois. The expansion of fortified villages and increasing size of longhouses is evident in sites such as the Draper Village. Though the structures grew in length- some reaching over 100 meters- the village area per person decreased, causing a higher population density within the village. The longhouses at the Draper site also show an increase in the amount of organized space and regularity of the spatial dynamics (Birch
The Mixedwood Plains ecozone is composed of waterfalls, rivers, plains, and wetlands. The last continental ice sheet covering the ecozone melted 11 000 years ago, leaving thick clay deposits. Underneath, the ecozone is sedimentary rock, while up above, it is mostly plains and rolling hills with some notable features being Manitoulin Island, the Great Lakes, and the Niagara Escarpment. More than 6000 drumlins span the ecozone, as do bodies of freshwater. Approximately 42% of the total surface is made up of lakes and rivers, including four Great Lakes – Superior, Huron, Erie, and Ontario – as well as the St. Lawrence River.
The tract within these boundaries comprises an area of thirty-eight thousand six hundred and ten square miles, within the following limits: Commencing within Province of Manitoba above the forty-ninth parallel, along the western border of the Province of Ontario; along the southern shores of Winnipeg River, following its limits westward and north; along the southern shores of Lake Winnipeg moving west, past the Red River, moving westward south of Dennis Lake and Lindals Lake; north of and encompassing North, East, and West Shoal Lake; along the southern river basin of Lake Manitoba and Lake Francis; following the shores of Lake Manitoba westward, southward and then northward; continuing northward to Dauphin Lake along its southern shores, and continuing west to the most westward border of the Province of Manitoba; encompassing all lakes and regions within including the Pleasant Valley Reservoir, Otter Lake, Proven Lake, Bottle Lake, Clear Lake, Oak Lake, Maple Lake, the Whitewater Lakes, Whitemouth Island, Sprague Lake, Moose Lake, and all others; southward along the Mani...
The average elevation in the Hudson Plains is 120m above sea level. It is a flat lowland area. The land is made up of mineral soils, with few outcrops of underlying sandstone and shale. This land was created when the weight of glaciers depressed the Hudson Bay region and the ocean waters flooded areas up to 300 km inland from the current coastline. Then, during the retreat of the huge continental ice sheets, drainage into the Hudson Bay was blocked and lakes (Agassiz and Ojibway for example) were formed along th...
The Oak Ridges Moraine provides many natural resources, and it is crucial to preserve them, because they play such an important role in our country. Water, is a perfect example of a resource that we definitely cannot afford to waste, and the Oak Ridges Moraine is a direct source of drinking water for more than a quarter of a million people. Another resource we need to keep is trees, even thought there are a lot of trees in northern Canada, transporting them will take a lot of time and money. The moraine also forms headwaters for 4 major rivers, like the Don Rouge Humber, and Credit Rivers.
The sharp differences in elevation between the Badwater Basin and the surrounding mountains that include the highest point in the continental US (Mt. Whitney at 14,494 feet) stand as a representation of the regions violent tectonic past. The mountains themselves are considered fault block mountain ranges meaning that they were formed when blocks of rocks were squeezed through the Earth's crust along parallel faults or were loosened from the crust when it separated at a fault. In the valley, both of these methods not only were the cause of the current mountains formation less than four million years ago, but also are causing the mountains to be uplifted while the valley floor drops even further. This phenomenon is one of the reasons why the lowest and highest points in the continental...
10,000 years ago, glaciers cut through the valleys in the north regions forming what would much later become The Great Lakes. As the largest freshwater system on earth, they are known for their vast area covering over 94,000 square miles, and have been the key asset to settlement in the surrounding regions. Serving as highways for migration, trade and travel the regions prospered from the abundance of natural resources. Lake superior is the worlds largest freshwater lake. It is also one of the most clear lakes in the world with an average visibility of 27ft with some regions as deep as 100ft.

The first stop visited was on Kentland Farm and we were looking at the low terrace of the New River. The land here is smooth and flat mainly due to human farming but the soil is also the newest of all the terrace levels dating back to the Pleistocene era around tens of thousands of years
Shortly following the glacial retreat of the upper Great Lakes region around 11,000 B.C., the flora and fauna
All of Maine was once covered by glaciers, the last of which receded about 10,000 years ago. Because of the glaciers, much of Maine is covered with stones, boulders, and clays. Many of the hills and mountains have been rounded, lakes have been formed, and river courses have been changed. Although glaciers covered all of Maine, there are nevertheless substantial physiographic differences in the regions of the state. Maine can be divided into three major natural regions: the White Mountain section, the New England Upland, and the Seaboard Lowland. These three regions are part of the New England province, which in turn forms part of the Appalachian Region.
The foundation of the Great Lakes began around three billion years ago, which is known as the Precambrian Era. The Precambrian Era contains numerous ecological events, which consists of volcanic activity to erosion to the mountains and hills seen today being formed. Then during the Pleistocene Epoch or known as the “Ice Age, occurred between 1.6 million and 10,000 years ago. At least four times during the Pleistocene Epoch, large masses of ice advanced and retreated over the surface of what is now North America. As the glaciers advanced, giant sheets of ice flowed across the land, leveling mountains and carving out massive ...
