Describe the Canadian Grasslands/Prairies
What is the Canadian Grasslands contain a vast area of grass and flowers with rich, dark soil that feed bison and burrowing owl.

What is Climate Change?
What is Climate Change is the long-term shifts in global or regional climate patterns that is primarily driven by human activity.
100
What are volcanoes classified by?
What is volcanoes are classified by their eruption style and magma composition
100
What is the convergent boundary?
What is when tectonic plates collide
100
Describe Climate
What is climate is the long-term average weather conditions in a particular region with elements such as temperature, precipitation and wind patterns typically assessed over a period of 30 years or more.
200
Describe the Interior Plains
What is the Interior Plains are flat with few trees and no mountains. It is located between the Western Cordillera and the Canadian Shield. The Interior plains are rich for farmland.
200
What are factors that affect climate?
What is Latitude, Ocean Currents, Winds, Elevation, Relief and Nearby large bodies of water (LOWERN)
200
What is this Volcano classified as?
What is a Stratovolcano
200
What is a divergent boundary?
What is when when tectonic plates move apart
200
Describe the Tundra Region
What is the Tundra region consists of cold temperatures and permafrost with no trees. It is found on high mountains, encompassing areas like Northern America, Europe and Asia.
300
Describe the Great Lakes Saint Lawrence Lowlands
WHat is the Great Lakes Saint Lawrence Lowlands are bounded by Lake Huron, Erie and Ontario with average weather conditions and extends along the St.Lawrence river to the Atlantic Ocean.
300
How would climate change affect humans as well as animals?
What is with climate change causing extreme weather events, it can cause habitat loss and shifts in animal species. It could also affect humans food, security and traditional ways of life.
300
What is this volcano classified as?
What is a Shield volcano
300
What is the transform boundary
What is when tectonic plates slide past each other..
300
What is a continental climate?
What is a continental climates are found inland away from oceans and are characterized by their large temperature swings and have little to no moderation of temperature extremes by nearby bodies of water.
400
Describe the Appalachian Landform
What is the Appalachian landform region is part of the broader Appalachian mountains and has a cast area of rolling hills, valleys and mountains. It extends from Newfound land(Canada)to Alabama(USA)
400
How would Climate Change affect Canada?
What is with higher temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events it will cause rising sea levels, impacting natural resources as well as communities along with the economy. (Canada's warming rate is twice the global average)
400
Describe all 3 types of volcanoes.
Composite(Stratovolcano): Steep and Explosive
Shield: Gentle and effusive
Cinder cone: Small and explosive
400
What are the geological effects when tectonic plates converge?
What is when the collisions occur it can cause mountain building, earthquakes, subduction zones and volcanic activity.
400
What are mountain landforms characterized by?
What is mountain landforms are characterized by prominent elevation, steep slopes and a relatively confined summit area.
500
Describe the History and Geography of the Canadian Shield.
What is the Canadian shield includes precambrian rock and is mainly characterized by a rugged, rocky landscape with numerous of lakes, ponds and swamps formed by glaciation and erosion many years ago. It is full of natural resources including minerals and boreal forests and its geological history includes mountain building, volcanic activity and tectonic processes.
500
What is a Maritime Climate(Cfb)?
What is maritime Climates are the climate of areas that are affected by being near an ocean, high precipitation and have a small temperature range between summer and winter.
500
Describe the location of earthquakes and volcanoes.
What is earthquakes and volcanoes are primarily located along the plate boundaries particularly the "Ring of Fire" around the pacific ocean and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and continental rift zones.

2:Mantle
3:Outer core
4:Inner core
