Physiographic Regions of Canada

Physiographic Regions of CanadaCanada may be divided into seven physiographic regions: Arctic Lands, Cordillera, Interior Plains, Hudson Bay Lowland, Canadian Shield Forest Lands, St Lawrence Lowlands and Appalachia. Divisions are based on each area’s relatively similar physical geography and landforms.Physiography originally meant "the study of natural phenomena," but later usage limited its application to physical geography in particular and, more recently, to landforms alone. Physiographic regionalization is defined here as the process by which regions with relatively homogeneous physical geography are determined.Geologic structure (see Geological Regions), relief attributes of land, the distribution of continuous permafrost and the position of the treeline are the criteria used in the following physiographic regionalization.Combinations of these criteria, but with primary emphasis on geologic structures in southern Canada and the overwhelming influence of continuous permafrost in northern Canada, generate the major physiographic regions of Canada discussed in this article: Arctic Lands, Cordillera, Interior Plains, Hudson Bay Lowland, Canadian Shield Forest Lands, St Lawrence Lowlands and Appalachia. These seven large regions have broadly homogeneous physical geographic characteristics, and differences between them are visible from satellite images (see Remote Sensing). Areas quoted for these regions are the land areas and do not include adjacent continental shelves or bodies of ocean water within Canada's territorial limits. The ecozones of Canada (see Natural Regions) provide more detailed breakdowns of Canada's land mass based on an ecological classification system.

Answer:

The Mississippi River is the second longest river in the United States, running over 2,350 miles from the northern part of the country to the Gulf of Mexico. One of its most important functions is to drain all of the land between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains. It does this as the base of many connecting tributaries; other waterways connect to the Mississippi River and help drain the entire region. The Mississippi River also is crucial for commercial trade across the region. Ships can travel up and down the river, allowing for more foreign and domestic trade to be conducted in the interior region of the United States.
