Uneven population distribution (most people in canada live a couple hours from the us boarder) The british north american act (1867) gave considerable power to the province. It has distinguishing human or natural characteristics that set it apart from other areas. The boundaries of regions are related to faultlines. (not physical- something you can"t see) There are not physical fault lines; instead, they are differences between two different areas whether it be geographic, cultural, etc. Provincially defined region: choose an area of provinces (e. g. atlantic canada). Describe the area, analyse the economy, study the demographic, understand the physical geography. Categorization of land surface: classify the land into chunks that have similar characteristics.
