Canada’s Geography

In Canada, there are many active volcanoes like Mount Meager, Mount Garibaldi, Mount Cayley and the Mount Edziza. Thus, you can experience many earthquakes in the country. Therefore, the country is geologically active. Record states that the volcanic eruption of Tseax Cone in 1775 caused a catastrophic disaster, killing 2,000 Nisga'a people and the destruction of their village in the Nass River valley of northern British Columbia; the eruption produced a 22.5 km (14 mi) lava flow and according to legend of the Nisga'a people, it blocked the flow of the Nass River.

Weather in Canada

The climate in Canada varies depending on the location. In many regions of the country especially in the interior and Prairie provinces, a winter is harsh. The regions may experience daily average temperatures near −15 °C (5 °F) and can drop below −40 °C (−40 °F) with severe wind chills. More in the north of Canada particularly in non- coastal regions, snow can cover the ground almost six months of the year. However the coastal British Columbia can enjoy a temperate climate with a mild and rainy winter.

Moreover, the east and west coast experiences average temperatures in the low 20s °C (70s °F). Between the coasts the average summer high temperature ranges from 25 to 30 °C (75 to 85 °F) with occasional extreme heat in some interior locations exceeding 40 °C (104 °F).

Discovering Canada

I want to discover about this country because I want to live there someday.
Extending from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean, Canada is occupying most of northern North America. Canada is a bilingual and multicultural country. English and French are the official languages both at the federal level and in the province of New Brunswick.

I know Canada is industrialized and is technologically advanced. It has abundant resources where it maintains a diversified economy. Canada is a federation composed of ten provinces and three territories; in turn, these may be grouped into regions. Western Canada consists of British Columbia and the three Prairie provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba). Central Canada consists of Quebec and Ontario. Atlantic Canada consists of the three Maritime Provinces (New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia), along with Newfoundland and Labrador. Eastern Canada refers to Central Canada and Atlantic Canada together. Three territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut) make up Northern Canada. Provinces have more autonomy than territories. Each has its own provincial or territorial symbols.
