The fishing industries are located around Alaska, and the
States and providences located near the Atlantic Coast area. Then
most of the Oil and Natural Gas resources are located in the middle
of the United States and Canada in the interior areas. The Timber
is located though out the entire United States and Canada all
scattered out Alberta in Canada has a major reserve in coal. Some
other coal sources are located mainly in the United States. The
other resources are spread out though the United States and lower
Canada. Not many resources are locates near the top of Canada
Slide 5
As you can see by the maps, the main percentage of the United
States population are living in the Northeastern part of the United
States. In these areas are where some of the United States main
fishing ports are, and is also where the Appala- chian Highlands
are located. These places are where the United States super cities
are built.
Slide 6
As you can see by looking at the maps most of Canada's
population is located near the border of the United States, because
of the cold temps. Also most of Canada's natural resources are
located near the border of the United States. By looking at the
maps you can see that because Canada is located so close to the
Arctic Circle, Canada's temps. in the farther North half are a lot
colder.
Slide 7
Physical: One of the main physical features shared by the
United states and Canada is the Appalachian Highlands, which have
the Appalachian Mountains in it. They run North to South and extend
over 1,600 miles from Newfoundland to Alabama. Another main
mountain range shared by the United States and Canada is the Rocky
Mountains. They stretch 3,000 miles to Alaska and New Mexico. Some
of their peaks stretch to 12,000 feet above sea level. It has the
Continental Divide, which is where the mountains separates the
rivers flowing eastward from the other rivers flowing westward.
Canada and the United States also share the Interior Lowlands,
which are made up of the Canadian Shield, the Great Plains, and the
Interior Plains. The Interior Lowlands are mostly made up of
relatively low areas, hence the name lowlands. The area stretches
all the way from the top of Mexico to the top of Canada.

Slide 9
Since Alaska and Canada are located in the same cold
temperature areas they share the same cold climate zones such as
Tundra. These areas have long cold bitter winters, with short
summers ranging in the temperatures of only 40 degrees. Near the
borders of the United States and Canada come the more moderate
temperatures at which are located through out the United States.
These areas have the Humid Continental climate zones, which have
cold winters and warm summers. The Canadians tend to live closer to
the United states due to its warm temperatures. Since the climate
is so cold up there many Canadians can get frost bite and not be
able to travel anywhere. The cold climates seems to push the more
advanced of Canadians to live closer to us, but some of the Native
people live through out the cold temperature areas and thrive.
Slide 10
The Canadians have moved and settled closer to us for the same
reason why you turn on a fire place. THEIR COLD!!!!!They are
basically at the top of the world where sometimes the sun doesn't
shine for 6 MONTHS!!! In some areas they have permafrost because
they never reach temperatures above freezing. Another reason why
the main population is on the border is because it gives them
easier access to trade with the rest of North America. Lastly most
of their main Natural resources are locate on the border of the U.S
and Canada.
Slide 11
One of the main reasons why Americans live in the Northeastern
part of the United States is because most big cities need a
constant water supply and active ways of transportation. Such as
the Boston Harbor, which is located in that area. Another reason
why people pick these areas are the physical features. Like if
there is an area of land covered in hills, that probably wont be
the next New York of the U.S. Lastly the climate. A lot of major
cities are built around this factor, some places dont want it too
cold or too hot so they pin point areas where the location fits all
the needs to start a strong foundation for a super city. Also some
cities are based off of tourism so they dont want a place that is
too cold or too hot for the foreigners. That is why super cities
like New York and Beverly Hills are located where they are.
Slide 12
Although in both countries they are multicultural they have
primary languages that separate the two countries. The two Canadian
primary languages are French and English. In the United States the
two primary are English and Spanish. In the U.S. the main religion
is Christianity and in Canada they have Catholics and Protestants.
The Canadians had a problem with the country fighting over the
religion, because the English were largely Protestants and the
French were Catholic.
Slide 13
As like any country, in Canada they have a set of goals or
activities that every Canadian kid experiences in there life. Like
hockey; hockey if a sport played most by Canadians. One reason is
its so cold! Also they normally get married at the age of 18
without a written constitution. Then the kids attend a private
preschool between the ages of 3 to 4 In the United States one thing
you can expect to play and watch is football and people get married
when they want WITH a written constitution. Also they dont go to a
private preschool they can just simply go to a regular one.
Slide 14
Since Canada and the United States growth is always in motion
it can lead to problems. Such as not having things planned out and
having things turn into an Urban Sprawl. In both countries they are
having the same problem. The amount of population in the cities are
decreasing and the population in the urban areas are increasing
Another problem with this growth is that the roads are becoming
filled with drivers which makes roads have to be repaired and that
isn't free, and can lead to more pollution in the little small
towns.
Slide 15
In the two countries they all have different ways of getting
around, but most of the time that is effected by what location they
are in. As you have already heard, its cold in Canada so they cant
ride there bike or walk to school. Instead they use dog sledges,
automobiles and snow mobiles. In the United States we use just
about everything, trains, planes, you name it Just like us they use
some of the same technology to stay in touch with their loved ones.
It just might be a couple years behind our growth in
technology.
Slide 16
Physical aspects are really what affect what we do in our
life's. They affect how we dress, eat, culture, and looks. Although
it can affect us we can change that by moving to a different place
and even then we can still change around physical features by
adding our own human touch. For and Example : getting a air
conditioning unit would be an controlling how you are affected by
the physical features of your home.
