The Prarie Provinces Main Facts The Prairies comprise the states of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba Covers about 2,1 million square kilometers. About 5,7 million people live in that region. What is a Prarie? Prarie (aslo known as a temperate grassland) is a treeless ecozone in North America. Different names in different countries. Only about 400 mm per year. Hot summers and cold winters. Humans and the Prairies Almost 95 % of the Prairies are
Over 5000 km of border separate Canada and the United States. Climate/Land The northern part of Canada has very long, cold winters. Over most of the rest of Canada the winter are longer and colder than in the United States. Only in the southern part and on the west coast is the climate as mild as in the western part of the United States. Towering mountains, crystal-clear lakes and green forests make Canada's far west a beautiful region. Fields of wheat and other grains cover Canada's vast prairies. Much of Canada is covered with forests. Western forests produce much timber. Much of Canada's soil is thin and rather poor. During the Ice Age almost all of Canada was covered with sheets of ice. These ice sheets moved southward. As they did so, the carried away much soil from Canada and pushed it down into the United States. Stretching west from the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay there are great prairies. West of the prairies there is a mountain Wonderland. The
Canada is a vast country, with a territory of 3.8 million square miles of land and fresh water it is the second biggest country in the world after Russia. Canada covers most of the northern part of North America. Canada has over 151,480 miles of coastline. Most of Canada's human population lives along its southern border. Geographical facts. Canada's geography is very diverse. It has huge lakes, evergreen forests, prairies, meadows and beautiful mountains. There are thousands of miles of coastline with beaches, fjords and wild rivers flowing to the oceans. Canada is a country of wide open spaces and beautiful landscape where traveling visitors can unexpectedly bump into wild animals like bears or be struck by unusual sight like the scarecrows on the Cabot Trail. Canada is rich in natural wonders, one of them, the Niagara Falls between lakes Erie and
leading industries. South of Newfoundland is one of the greatest fishing regions in the world. Much of Canada is covered with forests. A great deal of the wood from the forests in Quebec is used for making paper. Western forests produce much timber. The farms of eastern Canada are rather small. Potatoes are an important crop. Near the Great Lakes there are many orchards. Stretching west from the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay, there are great prairies. Spring wheat is the chief crop but other crops are important, too. West of the prairies there is a mountain wonderland. The Canadian Rockies are higher than the Rockies in the United States. British Columbia has a climate much like the climate of southern England. The capital is the charming city of Victoria on Vancouver Island. More than three-fourths of all the manufacturing that goes on in Canada is carried
world. About twelve million tourists come to see the beauty of the falling waters every year. The Horseshoe Falls are much bigger and have more strength that the American Falls. People can enjoy the noise and the sight of the waters from the boats which take them right next to the falls. In the evenings, when the falls are illuminated by colorful spotlights, they are magnificent. There are five major biomes in Canada: Arctic Biomes, Tundras, Taigas, Prairies and Decidious Forests. The Arctic Biome is very cold and windy. There are long periods of darkness and the growing season is very short so there are almost no plants. Some of the typical animals are the Arctic fox, ermines, polar bears, Arctic terns, walruses and seals. The Tundra is located near the Arctic region. It's permafrost and desertlike. Some of the plants that can survive are lichens and mosses. Typical animals are musk oxen, elks, moose, lemmings, wolves and foxes

This includes 755,170 square kilometers of water. Toronto is the largest city in Canada with a population of 4.3 million. Other major cities include Montreal (3.3 million people), Vancouver (1.8 million people). Located in the southeast corner of the nation, Ottawa is the nation's capital. Relief Canada is a vast country comprised of a multitude of very different landscapes: Atlantic provinces, the Appalachians, St. Lawrence and Great Lakes lowlands, Canadian Shield, The Prairies, mountain ranges and high plateaus of the Canadian Cordillera, and northern Canada. Climate Canada's climate varies wildly based on geography, from perma-frost in the north to four distinct seasons towards the equator. In this region the temperature can climb up to 35 degrees Celsius in the summer and descend to a chilly -25 degrees Celsius during winter. Canada's climate and environment are one of the main reasons that Canada is such a succesful country
iron, which have helped make Canada one of the ten leading industrial nations of the world. Canada is one of the few developed nations that is a net exporter of energy. Canada has vast deposits of natural gas on the east coast and large oil and gas resources centred in Alberta, and also present in neighbouring British Columbia and Saskatchewan. Canada is one of the world's most important suppliers of agricultural products, with the Canadian Prairies one of the most important suppliers of wheat and other grains. Common agriculture plants are barley, oats, rye and wheat. Canada is the world's largest producer of zinc and uranium and a world leader in many other natural resources such as gold, nickel, aluminium, and lead; many, if not most, towns in the northern part of the country, where agriculture is difficult, exist because of a nearby mine or source of timber. 7.

sun under dry conditions – this reaction is normal, and is not necessarily a sign of poor health. This plant is very easy to grow, and it will spread under favorable conditions. This wildflower will adapt to lawns, especially if they are not mowed too often during the spring or cut too low. HABITAT & RANGE The native Common Blue Violet occurs in every county in Illinois and it is very common (see Distribution Map). Natural habitats include moist to mesic black soil prairies, open woodlands, woodland edges, savannas, and wooded slopes along rivers or lakes. Indeveloped areas, it can be found in lawns, city parks, moist waste areas, and along hedges or buildings. Sometimes the Common Blue Violet is grown in flower gardens. Varieties of blue violets PHOTOGRAPHIC LOCATION The photographs were taken at the webmaster's wildflower garden in Urbana, Illinois, Crystal Lake Park of the same city,
The largest lake which is at least partly in Canadian territory is Lake Superior Climate Canada's climate is as diverse as its landscape. Generally, Canadians enjoy four very distinct seasons, particularly in the more populated regions along the US border. Daytime summer temperatures can rise to 35°C and higher, while lows of -25°C are not uncommon in winter. More moderate temperatures are the norm in spring and fall. Summers can be hot and dry on the prairies, humid in central Canada, and milder on the coasts. Spring is generally pleasant across the country. Autumns are often crisp and cool, but brightened by rich orange and red leaves on trees. Winters are generally cold with periods of snow, although southern Alberta enjoys the occasional "Chinook", a warm dry wind from the Rocky Mountains that gusts through and melts the snow. Winters are mild and wet on the west coast, in cities such as Vancouver and Victoria.
industries also contribute to the city's economic growth. In 1988, Calgary became the first Canadian city to host the Olympic Winter Games. Winnipeg Winnipeg is the capital and largest city of Manitoba, Canada.It's population is 740 000 people. It is located near the longitudinal centre of North America, in south central Canada, near the eastern edge of the Canadian Prairies, at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers.Winnipeg is the primary municipality in the Winnipeg Capital Region, which is home to more than sixty percent of Manitoba's population. The name Winnipeg comes from the Cree words meaning muddy water, referring to Lake Winnipeg 60 kilometres to the north. The Winnipeg area was a trading centre for Aboriginal peoples prior to the arrival of Europeans. The first fort was built near the Forks of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers in

temperate rainforest the soil is nutrient-rich(because of the quantity of organic matter on the ground) but in troipcal rainforest, it is infertile, deeply weathered and severly leached. Similar between tropical and temperate rainforest is distributation-both of these bioms are found around the equator. And the other similarity is that their only grow plants that require rain. 10. What is the difference between tallgrass pairie and shortgrass prairie? In shortgrass prairies the rainfall is less frequent and less fertile than in tallgrass prairies. 11. How are animals adapted to life in the biome (temperate deciduous forest, temperate rainforest, temperate grassland, taiga)? Temperate deciduous forest- Animals in temperate deciduous forests have to adapt to changing seasons. They must be able to cope with cold winters and hot summers. Some animals hibernate or migrate during the winter to escape the cold

actually began in 1497, when John Cabot, an Italian in the service of Henry VII of England, reached Newfoundland or Nova Scotia. Canada was taken for France in 1534 by Jacques Cartier. The actual settlement of New France, as it was then called, began in 1604 at Port Royal in what is now Nova Scotia; in 1608, Quebec was founded. France's colonization efforts were not very successful, but French explorers by the end of the 17th century had penetrated beyond the Great Lakes to the western prairies and south along the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, the English Hudson's Bay Company had been established in 1670. Because of the valuable fisheries and fur trade, a conflict developed between the French and English; in 1713, Newfoundland, Hudson Bay, and Nova Scotia (Acadia) were lost to England. During the Seven Years' War (17561763), England extended its conquest, and the British general James Wolfe won his famous victory over Gen. Louis Montcalm outside Quebec on Sept
The Midwest is a large, economically important region. It contains major industrial cities and much farmland. Geographically, the Midwest can be subdivided into three smaller regions: the Great Lakes area with many lakes, hills and forests; the prairie area south of it, which is flat and has good soil for farming; the Great Plains area to the west, much drier than the prairie. The Southwest is characterized by geographical variety: from humid lands in eastern Texas to drier prairies in Oklahoma and western Texas to mountains and deserts in Arizona and New Mexico. The Southwest area is rich in minerals. Cattle-breeding is also an important part of the Southwest's economy. The Rocky Mountain region includes the earth's youngest mountains. They have steep slopes and many peaks and picturesque valleys. The region isn't very populated. Most of the population is engaged in mining, cattle-breeding and farming.
Canadian winters are usually harsh and cold. Because of the differences in climate throughout Canada there are many different ecozones in Canada. There are four different ecozones in Canada. Northern Arctic is the coldest ecozone in Canada. Very few plants and animals can live there. Tundra ecozone is located south of the Arctic ecozone. Coniferous trees grow in tundra. A mix of coniferous and deciduous forests grow in Central Canada and in the Atlantic provinces. There are also the prairies. 95% of the land has been converted into farmland and it is basically a treeless area. Uniting Canada There were several reasons for uniting Canada. · Strong defence against any American aggression and the Fenians · Trade network involving the cities in Canada · Canadians wanted to build a railway line · The British didn't have enough money to support Canadian colonies In July 1, 1867 the Dominiom of Canada was created. The Dominiom of Canada
extensive ranching country. Almost 75% of the province's population lives in the Calgary- Edmonton Corridor, in and between the two major cities. The Rocky Mountains along the southwestern boundary are largely forested. The southern quarter of the province is prairie, ranging from shortgrass prairie in the southeastern corner to mixed grass prairie in an arc to the west and north of it. The central aspen parkland region extending in a broad arc between the prairies and the forests, from Calgary, north to Edmonton, and then east to Lloydminster, contains the most fertile soil in the province and most of the population. Much of the unforested part of Alberta is given over either to grain or to dairy farming, with mixed farming more common in the north and centre, while ranching and irrigated agriculture predominate in the south. The Alberta badlands are located in southeastern Alberta, where the Red Deer River crosses the
The provinces are responsible for most of Canada's social programs (such as health care, education, and welfare) and together collect more revenue than the federal government, an almost unique structure among federations in the world. Economy. Canada is a large country blessed with many natural resources. From trees they make pulp and paper. From mines they get coal, gold, silver, iron, uranium and other minerals. On the prairies they raise cattle and extract oil and gas beneath the ground. From the oceans they catch fish and other seafood. They export many of their goods to other countries. The most important customers are USA, Japan, UK, Germany and Russia. Though largely dependent on natural resources Canada also has a strong manufacturing country. They make automobile parts and cars. Population. About 28 million people live in Canada from many different nations and they speak different languages. Only 3
and severe climate. Canada extends across the continent of North America, from Newfoundland on the Atlantic coast to British Columbia on the Pacific coast and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Canada shares land borders with the United States to the south and north-west. Canada is a land of great variety. Towering mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and lush, green forests make Canada's far west a beautiful region. Farther inland, fields of wheat and other grains cover Canada's vast prairies. Thes fertile farmlands contrast vividly with the Arctic wastelands to the north. Most of the largest towns and industrial areas lie near the Great Lakes and the St Lawrence River in central Canada. In the east, fishing villages and sandy beaches dot the Atlantic coast. Across the country, Canadians experience many different landscapes from rolling plains and mountains to the cold tundra of the north.
Freedom Ordinance of 1787. Nowadays less than 2% of the population is engaged in agriculture. Large stretches of level or gently rolling land, especially in the Midwest provide ideal conditions for large-scale agriculture. The farms have narrow specialization, are very well mechanized and have high productivity. Besides providing its own people with food, the US has sent much food to other countries. Dairy cattle are bred mainly in the eastern part, beef cattle in the prairies. Poultry farms are near big cities. Vegetables and potatoes are grown all over the country. Fruits are grown mainly in Florida and California, citruses in California. Wheat is grown in the prairies. 7. Population The United States is an urbanized nation, with 80.6 percent of its population residing in cities and suburbs. The mean population centre of the US has consistently shifted westward and southward, with California and Texas currently the most populous states. According to
