Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Use Canadian English The Arctic Lands is a physiographic region located in northern Canada. It is one of Canada's seven physiographic regions, which is divided into three divisions—the Innuitian Region, Arctic Coastal Plain, and Arctic Lowlands.[1]
Physiographic region
Each of the three divisions is distinguished by topography and geology.[1] The other physiographic regions are the Canadian Shield, the Hudson Bay Lowlands, the Interior Plains, the Cordillera, the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Lowlands, and the Appalachian Uplands.[2]
Innuitian region
There are two mountain zones in the Innuitian Region. In between lies a vast terrain with plateaus, uplands and lowlands.[1]
Arctic Coastal Plain
The Arctic Coastal Plain includes its three divisions, Island Coastal Plain, Mackenzie Delta, and the Yukon Coastal Plain, each distinguished by physiographic characteristics.[1]
Arctic Lowlands
The Lancaster Plateau, Foxe Plain, Boothia Plain, Victoria Lowland, and Shaler Mountains comprise the Arctic Lowlands.[1] This includes parts of Ellesmere Island, Devon Island, Somerset Island and the Brodeur Peninsula.[1]
