Geography of Canada and Quebec

Mr. Virtual introduces Quebec's physiographic regions, explaining the term 'physiographic' as a combination of nature and map drawing. The video covers three main regions: the Appalachians, known for their ancient mountains and recreational activities; the Canadian Shield, a rocky plateau with lakes and hydroelectric potential; and the St. Lawrence Lowlands, ideal for farming and rich in diverse tree species. The video concludes with instructions for a quiz and a preview of the next lesson on Quebec's population in 1905.
