Questions and Answers
What are the main characteristics of the Southeastern climate region in Canada?
The Southeastern climate region features warm summers and cold winters, influenced by proximity to the Great Lakes.
Describe the formation processes of the three types of rocks mentioned.
Igneous rocks form from cooling magma, sedimentary rocks from accumulated sediments, and metamorphic rocks transform under heat and pressure.

Study Notes
Climate Regions of Canada
- Canada has seven distinct climate regions: Pacific Maritime, Cordilleran, Prairie, Boreal, Arctic, Southeastern, and Atlantic Maritime.
- The Southeastern region is characterized by warm, humid summers and cold, snowy winters.
Landform Regions of Canada
- Canada is comprised of seven landform regions: Canadian Shield, Western Cordillera, Appalachian Mountains, Innuitian Mountains, St. Lawrence Lowlands, Interior Plains, and Arctic Lowlands-Hudson Bay Lowlands.
Rock Types
- Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma.
- Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments.
- Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are transformed by heat and pressure.
Geological Eras
- Earth's geological history is divided into four eras: Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic.
