Social Studies - Physical Regions of Canada

Your Social Studies quiz is only a few days away, so I thought it would be a good opportunity for us to review the physical regions of Canada.  Remember, a physical region is land that is divided by how it looks (landforms, and vegetation), feels (climate), and what we take from it (natural resources).

Canada has 7 physical regions: the Appalachian, the Cordillera, Canadian Shield, Arctic Lowlands, St. Lawrence Lowlands, Hudson Bay Lowland, and the Interior Plain.

Look at the map of Canada below:


Can you identify and label each physical region of Canada?  Can you find the missing region on this map?
