Canada
Canada's topography is a diverse tapestry shaped by its vast landscapes and geological history. Dominating nearly half of the country, the Canadian Shield is a massive expanse of ancient, eroded rocks, characterized by a rugged terrain dotted with countless lakes and rivers. To the west, the majestic Rocky Mountains rise sharply, featuring some of the nation's highest peaks and deep valleys carved by glacial activity. In contrast, the central provinces are home to the Interior Plains, expansive flatlands that stretch between the Shield and the Rockies, known for their fertile soils and prairie landscapes. The eastern region encompasses the Appalachian Mountains, an older and more eroded range presenting rolling hills and rich forests. Along the southern edge, the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Lowlands offer fertile plains that support a significant portion of Canada's agriculture and urban development. In the far north, the Arctic Archipelago consists of a labyrinth of islands and peninsulas, characterized by permafrost and tundra, presenting a stark yet captivating landscape. This intricate blend of mountains, plains, forests, and tundra defines Canada's varied terrain.
