Michigan consists of three different biomes; coniferous forest, deciduous forest, as well as the savanna. Most of lower Michigan is considered to be deciduous forest because it consists of a lot of deciduous trees. To be a deciduous tree it means that in fall they lose their leaves and go dormant in the winter. The northern lower peninsula as well as the upper peninsula is considered to be coniferous forest which means that they have long cold winters as well as short cool summers. Grand Rapids is considered to be a deciduous forest. What makes Grand Rapids a temperate deciduous biome is because it is very cold in the winters but has warm summers.
The arctic tundra biome is a biome located in the arctic circle, in such places as north Canada, Russia, Alaska, Iceland, Finland, and most of Greenland. Covering approximately 20% of the Earth 's land surface, the arctic tundra biome is the coldest biome on Earth, with winter temperatures averaging at -34°C (-30°F), and summer temperatures of around 3-12°C (37-54°F). The moderate summer temperature allows this icy biome to sustain life. Yearly precipitation is a low 15-25 centimetres (6-10 inches). The ground in a tundra biome has very low nutrients,which accounts for the low amount of plant life. Under the thin layer of soil, there is a thick layer of permafrost, or frozen ground, allowing little room for deep rooting plants and trees.This
However, in 2008, Newfoundland and Labrador stopped receiving equalization payments from the federal government, making it a "have" province for the first time in 60 years. This was due to the boom of the oil industry, as other natural resources have declined over time. Like most every region this province was affected negatively by the global economic crisis. Part of the population still travel to other areas for work; for example to the oil sands in Alberta where labour is needed. The top industries of Newfoundland and Labrador are focused in the service industry: Some examples are financial services, healthcare, and banking. Tourism also provides some job opportunities. The natural resources of this beautiful eastern land provide a large economic boost to this province as well. Even though the fishing industry is now struggling, other resources like oil and minerals offer opportunities for economic growth and job employment. The offshore oil and gas industry as well as mining have helped move Newfoundland and Labrador from a have not region to a have region. The climate and soil offer few agricultural opportunities and those that are available revolve around livestock. The largest city in Newfoundland and Labrador is St. John's with 40% of the province's population. The economic difficulties of Newfoundland and Labrador still persist today, but utilization of the province’s Natural
Undoubtedly, there are many factors that can impact temporal patterns as illustrated in the climographs. Both of the cities is located in a different part of the world and experiences different climates. Each of the cities have very different geographical layouts and factors that affect temperature and precipitation throughout the year. In Toronto, Canada climate is moderate with warm humid summers and generally cold winters. The climate in Toronto, Canada is moderate due to its southerly location within the country and its proximity to Lake Ontario. The climate in Toronto, Canada varies a lot due to a great distance from the north to south. Also, different elevations produce different climate conditions. Lake Ontario affects the climate in Toronto. During the summer, there is cool lake breezes with a lot of humidity. In the winter, the effect of Lake Ontario produces warm lake breezes,
Canada is the second largest country in the world, its landform region has a large range from the lowlands to mountains. This characteristic make the country extremely extraordinary among other countries. However, the great natural characteristic also creates a huge impact on the way of life for Canadian. Examples of influences to human from natural characteristic can be the Canadian population distribution, economy, farming. In order to adapt the coldness from the north, people uses technology to change and moderate the environment but also brought variety influence to the natural Characteristic. Different types of human activities create climate change, land fragmentation, and pollution to our environment.
Climate change is more serious than we take it. If it continues, everyone will parish. Climate change affects us in many different ways. It causes animal population numbers to decrease, slows down transportation to the north, and causes flooding and the rise of the sea level. Global warming exists, and it is not only affecting the environment.
All of these landforms have distinct features that separate them apart from each other. For example, the Interior Plains contain very flat regions of land suitable for growing crops, while the Great Lakes/Saint Lawrence Lowlands contain large bodies of fresh water. As a result of these diverse landform regions, a large amount of natural resources are available to Canada for usage. Likewise, the diversity of landform regions also increases the amount of biodiversity that is available within Canada. Moreover, in contrast to other places in the world that do not have many different landform regions, such as Alaska, the beauty and marvel of Canada 's landform regions are unmatched. This ends up drawing people into the country to observe Canada 's wide variety of different land regions.
Geography makes the industries. Alberta is flat, parries, parkland, and a fertile province. North the prairie is dry, but has lots of good soil. Alberta has a large oil reserve making the oil industry very valuable while in British Columbia it is very mountainous and is bordered by the Pacific Ocean, thus, making
Hello Leah,you should really come to Michigan. There are so many cool things here. You can go to a Detroit Tigers baseball game,Michigan Advenchers , or even just go swimming in the great lakes. Michigan in my opinion is the best place to be.You could even go to Detroit witch by theh wzay is home to a real major leage baseball team.
Climate within different geographic areas are the common weather patterns of a specific area and some causes of climate within different geographic areas are the temperature of that area and geographic features such as bodies of water or mountains. Bodies of water like an ocean can create cooler ocean breezes that can affect the climate of that area.
Samuel de Champlain was a French explorer who founded most of what is known today as Canada. Samuel de Champlain is primarily known for founding the city of Québec in the year 1608, and for exploring and mapping the Great Lakes as well. After establishing the city of Québec, Champlain realized that he needed to protect his new founded city, which required a military alliance to fight the Iroquois, which was accomplished. Later returning to North America continuing his exploration of the St. Lawrence River. Years later King Louis XIII ordered Champlain back to Québec to act as its administrator, which effectively ended Champlain’s exploration of the St. Lawrence River. Later in the year 1629 the English captured Québec and Samuel de Champlain
Today, the Salton Basin is 35 miles long, 15 miles wide, and 30 feet deep (2). It is also around 228 feet below sea level (2). It’s current salinity is around 48,000 milligrams per liter, or 37 percent higher than the Pacific Ocean which allows only for salt-tolerant fish and birds to survive (2). The Salton Basin of Imperial Valley is one of the most biologically diverse areas in California with over 400 species and subspecies found there (2). Common mammals that can be found in the Imperial Valley are raccoons, coyotes, striped skunks, desert pocket mice, Merriam 's kangaroo rats, desert cottontails, Valley pocket gophers, and Round-tailed ground squirrels. Some of the mammals that live in Imperial Valley are nocturnal so it may be hard to
After the English took over New France, at that time called Lower Canada. The other part was Upper Canada. Eventually, Lower Canada became Quebec and Upper Canada became Ontario. There were conflicts in Upper Canada and Lower Canada because both the rich English and French were in power in the governments of Upper and Lower Canada and this conflict between the Upper and lower Parts will lead to the settlers seeing this as unfair government and began rebellions. There were rich
The objective is to as quickly as possible to the British face new colony populated mainly French-speaking settlers. It starts with precisely delineate the territory roughly corresponding to the valley of the St. Lawrence River and is given a name: "Province of Quebec".
The Economic insights into Seven Canadian Mid-sized Cities and the Lethbridge Herald that summarizes the report are all referring to a boom and bust cycle and how different sectors are impacted by it. The main bust (recession) referenced in this article would be the decline in oil prices as it has affected Albertans significantly. Intensive agriculture, “high inputs of labour, capital, fertilizer and seed per unit of land”, saved Lethbridge from feeling the recession to the same extent as Red Deer for example making it a unique Alberta city (Hayter & Patchell, Economic Geography, p. 216). This essay will look at the trends of three mid-sized cities, Lethbridge, Red Deer and Medicine Hat, in comparison to both Canada and Alberta and see the
