Canada is split into ten provinces and three territories. Yet, the boundaries that we have recently learnt in class prove that new regions can be formed, especially when creativity and logic is involved. The boundaries that we have focused on, are as follows:
1. The Climate Region Boundary
2. The Landform Region Boundary
3. The Soils Region Boundary
4. The Vegetation Region Boundary
5. The Discontinuous Ecumene Boundary
6. The Continuous Ecumene Boundary
7. The International Boundary
Each of these boundaries provide insight into the varying regions of Canada. However, when creating my personal region based upon these seven boundaries (as listed above), I prioritized them differently. Of course, the international boundary serves as an extremely …show more content…
I believe these boundaries are the most crucial to a region’s success. The population boundaries, both continuous and discontinuous, are in my opinion, the most important. This is due to the human tendency to be around other human beings. People tend to live in populated or semi-populated areas, rather than live in isolation. For this reason, I thought it logical to separate the places in Canada in which population density is high, low and almost non-existent; this is to create a region that has a similar population density throughout, rather than an uneven distribution of people. Further, areas that have a continuous ecumene, require more necessities as there are more people. While areas with less people require less necessities. The separation of areas of different population allow for proper assessment of the needs in certain areas of the …show more content…
This region, for the most part is of continuous ecumene. Additionally, it is of the same soil region: the wet-climate soils region. However, this area has three different climate regions within it: the Boreal, the Southeastern and the Atlantic Maritime climate region. With proper analyzation, this can easily be explained. The areas within this region, are fairly close to one another, and therefore their climate will not differ dramatically immediately after the climate boundary. This reasoning permits the combining action of the Southeastern area with the Boreal area in Quebec. However, the reason which unifies the three climate regions in this area is the moderating effect of water. From the Southeastern region to the tip of the Boreal region of Newfoundland, this entire area is somewhat near water. Water takes longer to cool off and warm up than the air does. This means that in the summer, the surrounding bodies of water cool the surrounding land, as they are still somewhat cooler from the winter. In the winter, the bodies of water heat the surrounding land, as they are still somewhat warm from the summer. This phenomenon is known as the moderating effect. For this reason, this region will experience a somewhat similar climate. This is due to the moderating effect, as previously stated, and because this entire region is fairly southeast of Canada. This means that this entire region will
