ALberta have two landforms named: Interior Plains and Western Cordillera. The Interior Plain is used for farming and Ranches which is used for cattles and wheat where as the Western Cordillera is used for forestry and tourism, most of the people give a lot of money for going there to ski. I also looked the Banff Snails that is made up of sulphur springs and it smells like rotten eggs. Alberta is very popular for Rock Climbing in Rocky Mountains. Wolves can be found in Alberta in Western Cordillera. Alberta is very rich in Tar Sands that effects the enviornment a lot and also it effects on the economy and most of the family is facing problems because of the tar sands it is so dirty and can also cause disease.

Manitoba.....



After Onatrio I moved on to Manitoba.The capital of Manitoba is Winnipeg.The climate in Manitoba is continental,with great temperature extremes.It is one of the sunniest province in Canada.It is known as Lands of 100,000 Lakes and as well as a legacy of enormous lakes Agassiz that covers much of the province with glaciers. The northern topography(landscape) of Manitoba is heavily glaciated in Canadian Shield and covered in forest, dominated by pine,hemlock and birch.The provincial bird is Great Gray Owl.The highest point in Manitoba is Badly Mountain in Duck Mountain provincial park.Two provinces that border Manitoba are Ontario, Saskatchewan and
US at the south of Manitoba, one territory is North West Territories.
Manitoba has two landforms:Interior Plains and Canadian Shield.The Southern part of Manitoba is flat much of the ground in this area used to be waterlogged, or swampy.Lake Winnipeg,Lake Winnipegosis and Lake Manitoba are the province's largest lakes that are created by the Glaciers.The name "Winnipeg" and "Winnipegosis" come from the cree words for "muddy water" and "little muddy water."About 60% of the northern part of the province is covered by the rocky Canadian Shield.The most coldest area in northern parts are :Tundra that means frozen plains with no trees.
Permafrost that mean part of the ground is frozen all the time.
I also see the Northern Lights in the sky that were looking amazing.In Hudson Bay Lowlands I can see the Polar Bears and Beluga Whales.The point which attract the tourist much is Churchill we can only go by taking train or airoplane because there are no more ways to reach at that point.
The main issue that were created by the Canadians is about the Devil's Lake that is located in the US that can destroy the other lakes also because it carries alot of invence species that can also harm other lands and can destroy the landforms as well, because it carries dangered species in their lake and at the last we also can do hunting in Northern parts of the Manitoba and we can hunt Polar Bears and Beluga Whales.
