Physical Geography of Canada

Canada's physical geography significantly influences its diverse climate patterns and ecosystems. Proximity to water bodies creates maritime climates with moderate temperatures, while continental regions experience more extreme weather.

Affect on Climate

Continental → Away from water, extreme temperatures
Maritime → Near water, moderate temperatures

Water runoff feeds over 30 major waterways in Ontario
160 km long and 3 km - 24 km wide
Formed by two glaciers pushing rock, sand, clay, and gravel together
