Document Summary

Humans & land regional studies spatial studies. Canada can be viewed as a mosaic of regional landscapes . Purpose: describe canada s physical env t, examine nature of relationship b/w cnd s physical & human geographics, examine nature of envt al issues in cnd. Niagara falls rate of retreat: ~300m since 1678 (1st european to see niagara falls father. Hennepin: 8km since glacial ice melted out of southern ontario about 12,000 years ago, est. of annual recession rates: Why is cnd s physical geo so essential to an understanding of this reg. geo? (p. 31) Physical env ts differ in terms of: landforms: climate, vegetation, soils, hydrology. Physiographic region: an area w/ distinct surface landform features (geomorphology) & underlying rock structure (geology) [fig 2. 1] Geomorphology: the study of landforms & the process of their origin. Map fig 2. 2 the entire physical landschape of cnd has been shaped from the ice ages: erosional & depositional evidence can be found all over cnd.
