After finishing Saskatchewan I moved on to Alberta and I learned alot of things in Alberta,
it is known as Princess Province.
The capital of Alberta is Edmonton and there is a west Edmonton mall which is so popular in Alberta. The population of Alberta is in 4th rank.
Most of the people in Alberta lives in Edmonton and Calgary. Largest city of Alberta is Calgary. Banff National Park was the first national park in Canada that is located in Western Cordillera which is the landform of Alberta.
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. Some of the natural resources that can be found in Alberta is Oil, Natural Gas and Coal. I also see the Bad Lands and you can found dinasurs bones in T-rex .
