Maritimes

.

**Physical and natural forces that have shaped the Maritime provinces and created a diverse landscape:**
======
 * Melting glaciers and running rivers have shaped the land
 * Tectonic plates coming together have created mountains
 * Tectonic plates going away from each other have made rivers and lakes
 * The geologic uplift has made plateaus

**Physical and natural forces that shapes our culture and identity:**

 * All the different types of people in the Maritimes have different cultures
 * Since the people live on the coast fishing is a big part of their lifestyle
 * The people have to eat a lot of fish because there are many areas of water for fishing but there is no forest where they are able to hunt animals
 * There is a great deal of growing land on Prince Island to use for agriculture
 * Prince Island produces a lot of potatoes
 * Nova Scotia produces a lot of lobsters
 * Nova Scotia also has a great amount of agriculture (flat growing land), forestry (forests) and coal mining (mountains)
 * The eco-region is a temperate broad leaf and mixed forest that includes many habitats on the hills, mountains, and plateaus

**Communities in the Maritime provinces have adapted to, and been affected by, geographical changes:**

 * There is trade, fishery, exporting, and importing in the Atlantic Ocean
 * Icebergs can be seen in the Northern region of Newfoundland and Labrador
 * There is a cold climate up to the north
 * There are very strong winds near the coastlines which is good for surfing and sailing
 * There is a huge Naval base because of all the bodies of water
