British Columbia

British Columbia's topography is a testament to its diverse and dramatic landscapes. Dominated by the Cordillera region, the province features prominent mountain ranges such as the Coast Mountains in the west and the Rocky Mountains in the east. The Coast Mountains, composed of granite rocks from the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods, are deeply incised by long, twisting fjords that extend inland from the Pacific Ocean. In contrast, the Rocky Mountains, characterized by sedimentary formations, present rugged peaks and the expansive Rocky Mountain Trench—a 1,400 km (870 miles) valley that channels the headwaters of major rivers like the Columbia and Fraser. Between these ranges lies the Interior Plateau, a broad expanse of gently rolling uplands carved by rivers such as the Fraser, which has etched deep canyons into the bedrock. This varied terrain supports a range of ecosystems, from the dense temperate rainforests along the coast to the semi-arid grasslands of the southern interior valleys.
