Geography
Southern Ontario is heavily populated and provides rich farming grounds and deciduous forest, while the north is comprised mostly of grassy lowlands. Between these two zones lies the mineral-rich, rocky Canadian Shield. The same glaciers that shaped the northern shield also created over 250,000 lakes, which provide over 30% of the world's fresh water. -
