Canada

Section 1
 A Northern Land
Between the U.S. and Canada is the
longest undefended border in the world.
*the border is patrolled by law-
enforcement, but not military
personnel.
 A Northern Land
• Canada borders 3 oceans: the Atlantic,
Pacific, and Arctic.
• 2nd largest country behind Russia
• It is made up of 10 provinces and 3
territories.
 Provinces vs. Territories
• Provinces are similar to states
• The provinces are responsible for things
like schools, hospitals, local government
and keeping highways in order.
• Territories are largely governed by native
people, unless there are issues that involve
other nations.
 The Effect of Glaciers
• As the glaciers moved and pushed the
land down, they created a large, low
basin and many low areas.
• Water filled the lowest points, and now
Canada has more lakes than any other
country in the world!
