Shield covers half of Canada .
BY KATHRYN MacKAY
The Canadian Shield
covers just over half of
Canada and most people
are familiar with its
lakes, trees, and granite
rock.
The rock of the
Canadian Shield is
mainly hard granite. This
granite is often in ancient
rock formations older
than the Cambrian
Period which began 570
million years ago. There
are waves and ridges in
some of the rock which
scientists think resulted
from the movements of
the earth before the
Cambrian'Period. The
Canadian Shield is too
strong and stiff now to
give way to underground
pressures that have made
mountains elsewhere.
At one point in time the
Shield was covered with
an ancients ice cap that
movedlike a cold blanket
across the land carving
out lakes and hills. In
some places in Canada
one can see huge rocks
that have been pushed
along the ground by the
ice.
The Canadian Shield is
covered -by three . dif-
ferent types of land
characteristics. Some
parts of the Shield is
muskeg, which is badly
drained swampland.
Other parts are covered
with evergreen forests.
There are also large
areas that are just rock
and sphagnum moss.
The Shield is very
valuable to 'our country.
Its forests are used in a
variety of ways to make
the products that come
from trees. Paper is
made from' trees and'
Canada produces enough
paper to sell it to other
countries. The wood-fr'om
our. forests is used to
build houses and other
types of buildings. 6.
The Canadian Shield is
rich in minerals.
Labrador, Quebec., .and
Ontario are the largest
areas in the country
covered by the Shield and
therefore produce the
most minerals. Some
,metals found in the Shield
are gold, copper, nickel,
zinc, iron ore,' uranium,
silver and lead. You can
find almost all these
metals in your own home.
