Economy

• Based on a free enterprise system like U.S.
  individuals and groups rather than the government
  run businesses
• Farmers raise meats, grains, vegetables, and
  fruits
• Food production has increased, but the number of
  farms and workers had decreased due to advanced
  farming techniques.
• Rich in minerals such as copper, iron ore,
  nickel, silver, oil, natural gas, and coal

5
People

• Most Americans and Canadians are Europeans in
  origin.
• English is the major language in both Canada and
  the US, but French is also a dominant language in
  Canada.
• In land area, Canada is the second-largest
  country in the world, but most of its people live
  near its borders with the US.

Culture

• At least 12,500 years ago, the ancestors of
  Native Americans settled North America.
• Europeans arrived between the 1500s and the
  1700s. When thousands of immigrants arrived in
  the late 1800s and early 1900s, the US
  transformed from an agricultural economy to an
  industrial economy.
• Canada won its independence from Great Britain
  during the 1800s and early 1900s.
• A big issue that threatens national unity in
  Canada is the differences between
  English-speaking and French-speaking citizens.

The Land

• The US and Canada cover more than 7 million
  square miles.
• The largest mountain range in these two countries
  is the Rocky Mountains which stretches from
  Alaska to New Mexico.
• In the center of the US and Canada are the broad,
  rolling Great Plains.
• In the eastern part of these two countries, the
  second longest mountain range exists the
  Appalachian Mountains.
• The largest river system in North America is the
  Mississippi River.
• The largest lake system is the Great Lakes, made
  up of five lakes that are interconnected. Those
  lakes eventually meet the St. Lawrence River and
  flow into the Atlantic Ocean.
• Canadian Shield horseshoe-shaped region wrapped
  around the Hudson Bay
• Toronto is Canadas largest city.
• Cordillera group of mountain ranges that run
  side by side

8
Climate and Vegetation

• Northern Canada and Alaska have short, cool
  summers and long, cold winters.
• Thousands of years ago, huge glaciers or giant
  sheets of ice, covered most of Canada. The
  weight of the glaciers pushed much of the land
  down and created a large, low basin.
• Much of the land mass is inhabitable due to the
  harsh climate
