  4. 1. The Canadian Shield was formed in stages when massive volcanoes erupted from the sea. Then erosion flattened the mountains creating the shield. Landform Region #1: Canadian Shield

  5. 2. Igneous rock is formed from molten magma (fire and heat). When the mountains were being formed the pressure on the minerals (gold, silver, and nickel) and the heat from the magma formed the rocks. FIRE HEAT

  6. 3. Some resources found in the Canadian shield are: • Minerals (gold, silver, and nickel) • Mining • Hydroelectric power • Forestry • Farmland

  7. 1. Ontario and Quebec Landform Region #2: Great Lakes – St. Lawrence Lowlands

  8. 2. During the ice ages, ice sheets moved south, pushing earth and rock along with them. Glaciers scraped out basins, which filled with water as the glaciers melted. • 3. This is a low lying area which is very flat.
