Relief

Canada is a vast country comprised of a multitude of very different landscapes: Atlantic provinces, the Appalachians, St. Lawrence and Great Lakes lowlands, Canadian Shield, The Prairies, mountain ranges and high plateaus of the Canadian Cordillera, and northern Canada. | Canada's relief is shown by a colour ramp to show elevation ranges. The highest values appear in Western Canada where the Rocky Mountains are located and also in Canada's North (on parts of Ellesmere and Baffin Islands). The lowest elevation values exist along all the coastlines and the areas of least topography exists in the prairies of Central Canada. The map also depicts four photographic images of Canadian terrain as well as tabular data on the highest elevations in Canada by Province and Territory.
