SOME BASIC INFORMATION:

Did you know that Ottawa is the capital of Canada and that it's the fourth largest city in Canada? Also, did you know that the elevation of Ottawa is 230 feet? Interesting, right? How about we look a little deeper in Ottawa and find out some more interesting stuff!

LANDFORM OF OTTAWA

Ottawa is part of the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Lowlands region.  There are a bunch of natural resources in this region. It has rich fertile level land and agriculture which makes this land is perfect for farming.

Ottawa lies on a base of consolidated rock covered with limestone and shale.

The types of rock in this region can be 520 to 480 million years olds, but some sedimentary rock that this region contains is limestone and shale which supports the fact why Ottawa lies on a base of consolidated rock covered in limestone and shale.

Above is what the St. Lawrence Lowlands look like. It is very flat because it is plains (it does have some hills too). However, it does have some lakes and rivers. This image is pretty small so we can see mostly plains, however, there are a bunch of trees too in the Lowlands. The Lowlands also has a good reputation for farming also.

Above is another picture of the St. Lawrence Lowlands. It is pretty flat like stated earlier but again, it contains a lot of trees. The topography of the Lowlands is a result of ersion and weathering by rivers from nearby flat-lying early sedimentary rock.

The wildlife in this region consists commonly of coyotes, grey squirrel, white-tailed deer, starling, house sparrow, etc. The wildlife, however, that thrives in this landform today must be able to take advantage of agricultural crops and suburban habitats since the Lowlands can does contain many trees also such as coniferous and deciduous trees like a mixed forest has.

The city ofOttawa has the animals like the St. Lawrence Lowlands does and also has black bears and wolves. Below are some examples of pictures of what some of the animals actually look like when seen in here. In order, you will see a picture of the white-tailed deer, house sparrow, and grey squirrel.
