Vancouver And Halifax's Climatic Differences

This affects Canada’s population density because people would want to move to places in Canada where there is flatland, lake, trees, and farmland, and why so many people live in the southeast of

Canada and the US share many physical features such as natural resources, lakes and mountains, but the most noticeable of these would be the climate. Canada, unlike the US which contains a humid subtropical climate, has a subarctic or colder climate due to their location farther from the equator and closer to the poles.

Thesis Statement: When talking about New England and the Chesapeake region, you have to consider the differences in motives and geography. Consider economic situations (reasons for settling where they did, reasons why they came to New England in the first place). One has to think about the family development and demographics, as well as the government structure.

New England and the Chesapeake Region were both settled primarily by people of English origin, however, by 1700 they had both transformed into two unique societies. This is because their motives for colonization, their geographies, and their governments were all different. For example, the New England colonies typically had much harsher winters than the Chesapeake region and their people came to America to escape religious persecution in their mother country. On the other hand, the people of the Chesapeake region experienced warmer summers and came there in search of gold.

The regions in North America called New England, and Chesapeake, sound very similar on paper, because of their English origins. However, in reality, these two regions have more differences than similarities. The three main differences between these two regions were, their attitude/ goals for settling, their economic activities, and the type of settlers who lived there. The goals of the New England and Chesapeake were very different.

Snow tends to fall, melt, and fall again quite often. Northern Ontario on the other hand, has a short, dry, and hot summer period. Winter is long, with frigid temperatures in the minus forties. It is not unusual for snow to fall in October and melt June. Southern Ontario is known for its tourist attractions (like Niagara Falls), professional hockey teams, polluted air, and starless sky. Northern Ontario is known for its vast wilderness, professional hockey players (like the Staal brothers), clean air, and star-filled sky. Southern Ontario is a land of opportunity. It is a place where people from all walks of life congregate to experience the wonders of the South and the rush of city life. Northern Ontario is the Land of the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights. It is the Great White North, a rugged wilderness where one can enjoy and appreciate the peace and tranquility of Mother Nature. There is a division in Ontario that one can count in number, feel in climate, and see in attraction. Southern Ontario is a Mecca of civilization; Northern

The city of Halifax provokes the tragic memories of the 1977 Halifax Explosion (Halifax History Facts and Timeline, 2016). However, Halifax is the provincial capital of Nova Scotia and it is famous for its magnificent Atlantic coast. Also, Halifax has undergone huge urban development and economic growth and is now recognized as one of the largest coastal cities in Canada regarding its historical, physical, economic and cultural diversities.(62)

Climate change is a real issue that is currently impacting every single region of the world. The world is a very large place with many different regions. Every region in the world is experiencing unique effects of climate change but we are all experiencing some form of it, nonetheless. The global average temperature has risen 0.74 degrees celius over the past 100 years (Climate). We all contribute to the effects of climate change and we are all responsible for helping reverse it. I live in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Mississauga is Ontario’s third largest city and Canada’s sixth largest city, which is unique for a suburban residential area. With a population over 700,000 (and growing), Mississauga is a chief contributer to the climate change

geography of this country. The natural land forms which are present in Western Canada, such as

Vancouver has a really big deforestation problem because they need more room and wood to make house for the people that live there. It's not just homes people need furniture and many products made from wood and because of the population increased people have to cut down a lot of forest. With in/around the last 50 years or so the Vancouvers deforestation has been catastrophic. Most of Vancouver Island has been converted from vibrant forests to young tree farms that do not sustain the natural range of species. Lack of lichen growing on old boreal trees is one of the reasons that almost all of Canada's woodland caribou herds are currently predicted to die out before the next century. Because of deforestation the climate in vancouver has change

During the era of Pre-Confederation Canada, Upper Canadians and Lower Canadians showed very different views on the state of Canada. Notably, Upper Canadians struggled to hold fast to social class, down-right refusing to remove barriers of social class in order to remain within the jurisdiction of the privileges of Britain. Consequently, a common view on the country at the time wasn’t that of Canada – an individual colony on its own, but as a wasteland to be conquered. Hence, Upper Canada was focused on construction and urban development, rather than industry.

I noticed that the city has humid climate that is slightly modified by its relative proximity to the Atlantic Seaboard and The Great Lakes. The area experiences extremes of all four seasons, with temperatures ranging from zero to 90° F depending on the month. The city experiences a significant amount of rain most of the year and a slight bit of snow during the winter time.

The western prairies provinces (WPP) have an area of two million km2, these regions are the main agricultural and food producing regions in all of Canada (Schindler, 2006). As global warming increases, more water will be used for irrigation for crops. Every year, 2.5 km3 of water is used for irrigation on 1 million acres of land. The water comes from reservoirs and lakes that trap snowmelt run-off from the Rocky Mountains, however only twenty percent of this water is returned to the rivers. The WPP temperatures have increased by 4 degrees since 1970 (Schindler, 2006. Most of the rural areas are not receiving 14-24% of their previous annual precipitation in the 1900’s. The summer flows have decreased 20-84% due to the increased warming through its effects on evapotranspiration and evaporation (Schindler, 2001). Low water flows can cause an escalation of water retention that results in increased nutrient retention, thus proliferating Eutrophication. (Helmer,1999). This imbalance between water evaporation, water usage and water replenishment will create scarce resource for Western Canada’s near future.

More areas of Canada are Highland, icy and forest. While you can feel any climate in United States, South and south west have warmer weather and north have cold weather. Because of climate variability, United States population is much higher than in the

being much more resistant to the cold weather in the north. Though we have those certain
