Answer 2

----------------------Reasons-----------------------

1.Metals such as copper and nickel are the result of the Earth's crust melting after the meteorite hit. Given the prominence of the boreal forest throughout the Canadian Shield, forestry is also a prominent industry. ... Due to its numerous rivers, the Canadian Shield region produces a significant amount of hydroelectricity.

2. Lumbering in Canada is usually carried out during winter due to the following reasons: The sap from the trees stops flowing making it easier to cut. The felled logs could be easily collected on the frozen grounds and taken to the river banks.

3. Spanish is the most spoken language in South America, edging out Portuguese by a few million people. Nearly 210 million South Americans speak Spanish, with the largest number living in Colombia — about 47.2 million.
