        The northern parts of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec, as well as most of Labrador, the mainland portions of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, are located on a vast rock base known as the Canadian Shield.

The shield mostly consists of eroded hilly terrain and contains many important rivers

used for hydroelectric production, particularly in northern Quebec and Ontario. The shield also encloses an area of wetlands, the Hudson Bay lowlands. Some particular regions of the shield are referred to mountain ranges. They include the Torngat and Laurentian Mountains.

        The shield was originally an area of very large mountains (about 12,000 metres) with much volcanic activity, but over the millennia the area was eroded to its current topographic appearance of relatively low relief. It contains some of the most ancient volcanoes on Earth. It has over 150 volcanic belts (now deformed and eroded down

to nearly flat plains) that range from 600 to 1,200 million years old.

        Many of Canada’s major ore deposits are associated with Precambrian volcanoes.

        The rocks that now form the surface of the shield were once far below the Earth’s surface.

        Although these mountains are now heavily eroded, many large mountains still exist in Canada’s far north and are called the Arctic Cordillera. This is a vast deeply dissected mountain range, stretching from northernmost Ellesmere Island to the northernmost tip of Labrador. The range’s highest peak is Nunavut’s Barbeau Peak at 2,616 metres above sea level. Precambrian rock is the major component of the bedrock.

        The Canadian Shield is part of an ancient continent called Arctica, which was formed about 2,5 billion years ago. It was split into Greenland, Scotland, Siberia, East Antarctica and is now roughly situated in the Arctic around the current North Pole.
