Geographical Comparison of China and Canada Canada and China share many similarities and differences when it comes to their land features. They both have vastly different geographical and water features. Canada is a country with a vast and diverse landscape, while China is known for its diverse geography of deserts, mountains, and plateaus. Through an analysis of their unique landscapes and water systems, this essay will explore the similarities and differences between these two countries. One similarity is the presence of prairies in both countries. The Canadian Prairies region, which includes Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, is characterized by vast fields and flats with little forest cover. “The land originally under grass contained a relatively large amount of organic matter and total nitrogen.”(Hedlin, 1995), this area is well-developed in agriculture, mining, livestock, and oil due to the large amounts of agricultural land present. Similarly, the Hulunbeier steppe in China is comparable to the Canadian prairie, covering an area of approximately 100,000 km2. The grass quality in the Hulunbeier steppe is very good, making it a thriving area for the livestock industry. However, there are also differences between the two prairies. The climate in the Canadian Prairies is dry with cold winters and warm summers and low precipitation, whereas the Hulunbeier steppe has hot and rainy summers and is generally more humid. The two countries also differ in their mountain ranges. Canada's Rocky Mountains and Appalachian Mountains are known for their large glaciers and …show more content…
Canada is known for its vast forests, prairies, and freshwater lakes, while China has vast deserts and mountain ranges. In my opinion, both countries need to take steps to protect their natural resources from the negative impacts of industrialization and
The Canadian Shield is arguably the best land form region. Tectonic forces and glaciation have combined to shape the Canadian shield, making it different from other Canadian landform regions, directly affecting economic activity. Firstly, Tectonic Activity created the base of the Canadian Shield is 2.5 billion years old craton made of igneous rock. Tectonic activity directly affects the Canadian Shield to this day, because many economic activities take place on the rock.
Preceding WWI, Canada was largely rural—something that changed following it. In 1922, the US was Canada’s leading
Although the Canadian shield borders the St. Lawrence Lowlands & Great Lakes, they are different in many ways. Firstly, the Canadian shield is made of igneous rock while the St. Lawrence lowlands is made from sedimentary rocks. Secondly, the economic industries are also different, the St.Lawrence Lowlands rely on agriculture, while the Canadian shield has many mines. Finally, the Canadian shield is the largest landform in Canada. however, the St.Lawrence Lowlands is the
The Chinese in Canada In his book “The Chinese in Canada,” Peter Li gives an account of how the Chinese faced discrimination in virtually all the sectors of the society. Due to differences in race and culture as well as the fear of the Canadians regarding racial minority, the Chinese had to suffer from formal institutionalization in terms of retraction of citizenship rights, omission from immigration and restrictions in various occupations due to competition. The discrimination against the Chinese was not only systematic, but also legal and rationalized by white superiority over non-whites. Individual racism is different from institutional racism as it involves social institutions, which disqualify the individuals from equal participation on
The best landform region in Canada is the Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence Lowlands because of its fertile land, wide range of vegetation and mild temperature. The region has one of the best farming lands in the country. This is because the GLSLL is the youngest landform region in Canada and the soil is much softer and there are multiple water bodies around the area to provide enough water to sustain good soil. This creates job opportunities and fresh local food for Canadians in the area. The Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence Lowlands has the widest variety of vegetation than any other region in Canada.
Research question: How does Chinatown, as Chinese society fit into the Canadian Society? There are many Chinatowns across Canada and around the globe. Chinatown is a “meeting place” where people encounter, interact and soon depart is able to accumulate different senses, specially for Chinese in Canada. Chinatown gathers and link all the Chinese together and give them authority and identity to stay in Canada, as well as helping them fit into the Canadian Society.
One other important part of the landforms in Quebec is the Canadian Shield. The Canadian Shield covers the northern areas of Quebec and Ontario. The Canadian Shield is comprised
However, how does Canada compare with a similar country? America, being Canada’s neighbor, also owns a portion of the Great Lakes and shares similar conditions with Canada. Forcing them to face the same issue being the algal blooms of the lakes. These hazards altering the behavior of the environment and the ecosystem itself, algal blooms can cause trophic cascades: when the predators of the food web suppresses the abundance or alters the behavior of their prey (Stephen Carpenter, 2016). This results in dramatic changes in the ecosystem structure and nutrient cycling in the environment.
True North Strong...and Free? Karanah Defante Imagine only having the clothes on your back, leaving the land you have known for so long, and leaving precious loved ones to go to an unknown place, not even certain what awaits you at your arrival? This is was the reality of Chinese immigrants coming to Canada during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. After arriving to what was a fresh start and better life, they were welcomed with a greeting that was much more icier than the Canadian winter.
Australia and China are two very different countries with an almost polar opposite government structure, political systems and values. Australia is a constitutional monarchy whereas China is a single communist party state. It is arguable as to which system of government is more effective, considering it is involves other factors like social freedom, the quality of life and the economy. But comparing hand in hand, Australia’s system of government has proven to be more effective in all of these areas. Australia and China have many similarities yet differ greatly in political structure.
The United States and Canada share many similarities and differences. Both countries were colonized by Europeans at roughly the same time, but now have citizens from not only Europe but all other parts of the world, including native people. Our governments also share many similarities and differences. The United States and Canada are countries with a shared history that both began under British rule.
They both had levels of health China in the spring and autumn periods were still in the bronze age. The chinese main weapon were the chariots. Challenges came in the warring states period. Then Iron appeared. It was Effective and affordable for tools.
When Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier stated, “As the 19th century was that of the United States, so I think the 20th century shall be filled by Canada”, the decades that followed provided his statement to be true as Canada became an independent and strong nation. The battlefields in World War One were a defining moment for Canada as their forces fought as one nation for the first time, instead of under British Command. Also, at the end of the war, Canada was recognized at the Peace Conference and signed the Treaty of Versailles as an independent country. In addition, Canada joined the League of Nations, playing a major role in world politics. These events in the early 20th century allowed the beginning of a strong nation with a growing national
Over the years, China's development has been significantly influenced by its physical and human geography. Its vast area is home to a diverse population with distinctive cultural and linguistic traditions, as well as a variety of landscapes and natural resources. One of the most influential physical features of China is its wide - ranging river systems, including the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers. The Chinese people have been able to cultivate crops like rice, wheat, and soybeans thanks to the fertile land that these rivers have made available for farming. Due to its ability to support a sizable population, China has experienced economic growth and development.
China’s media is both similar and different to the United States. It is different due to its larger scale in size, and how it is distributed. China is the largest media market in the world, and has the world's largest online population. However, it runs under the tight Communist control of the country, unlike America’s capitalist ideas. There is still advertising and other forms of market, though.
