The Arctic Region includes many plains, lowlands, and mountains. One of the topography in Arctic Region is fold mountains. These mountains, called the Innuitian Mountains, extend more than 1000 km across the northern islands of the Arctic region. It’s formed by the pressure at the edge of the Canadian Shield pushed up the sedimentary rocks.

The Appalachian Region
The Appalachian Region is an extension of the Appalachian mountains. It includes the landscape of rolling hills, valleys, small mountains, highlands, and coastal fjords.
*Deposits of coal and minerals, rich fishing resources, vast forests, and farmland encouraged the creation of numerous communities along the coast and in the river valleys of the Appalachian region.

The Canadian Shield Region
The Canadian Shields are hard, rigid blocks, surrounded by younger continental landforms. It was once a volcanic mountain range but over a millons of years, weathering and erosion, and especially the action of glaciers have changed the land to a landscape of flat, bare rock, lakes, and wetlands.
