Geographical Position of Canada – Географическое положение Канады

Canada occupies the northern part of the North American continent and some islands. It borders on the USA. The country is washed by the Pacific Ocean in the west, by the Atlantic Ocean in the east and by the Arctic Ocean and its seas in the north. The Canadian north remains one of the least settled and least exploited parts of the world. About 2 per cent of the Canadian territory is covered by glacier ice. The eastern parts of the country are mainly valleys and plains. The western territories are occupied by the Cordilleras.

They stretch from the American border to the Arctic Ocean. The Cordillera region is composed of numerous mountain groups: the Rocky Mountains, the Coast Mountains and others. The main Canadian islands are Newfoundland, Victorian Island, Baffin Island and others. There are a lot of rivers and lakes in Canada. Among them there are the Great Bear Lake, the Great Slave Lake and the Great Lakes region. The largest rivers are the Nelson, the Ottawa, the Mackenzie

and the Yukon. The population of Canada is about 25 million people.

It is mainly concentrated in large cities. The economically significant area of the country is its western part. Canada is rich in mineral resources, such as non-ferrous metals, uranium, oil, natural gas and coal. It is also exceptionally rich in forest and fur-bearing animals. All these factors led Canada to the position of a highly-developed country.

Перевод топика на русский язык:

Канада занимает северную часть Северо-Американского континента и некоторые острова. Она граничит с США. Страна омывается Тихим океаном на западе, Атлантическим океаном на востоке и Северным Ледовитым океаном и его морями на севере. Север Канады остается одной из наименее заселенных и исследованных частей мира. Около двух процентов территории Канады покрыто ледниками.

Восточная часть страны — в основном равнины и долины. Западные

территории занимают Кордильеры. Они простираются от американской границы до Северного Ледовитого океана. Район Кордильер состоит из многочисленных горных групп: Скалистые горы, Прибрежные горы и другие. Основными канадскими островами являются: Ньюфаундленд, Виктория, Баффинова Земля и другие. В Канаде много рек и озер. Среди них Большое Медвежье, Большое Невольничье и район Великих озер. Самые большие реки: Нельсен, Оттава, Маккензи и Юкон. Население Канады составляет около 25 млн человек. Оно в основном сосредоточено в больших городах.

Экономически важной областью страны является ее западная часть. Канада богата минеральными ресурсами — цветными металлами, ураном, нефтью, природным газом и углем. Она также очень богата лесами и пушным зверем. Все эти факторы привели Канаду к положению высокоразвитой страны.
