Canada is truly a unique country. Being the second largest country in the world, it covers a vast expanse of land – from ocean to ocean – and is comprised of nine main regions which have distinct geological features. This blog is dedicated to one of those regions, the Canadian Cordillera. Also known as the Western Mountains, the Canadian Cordillera stretches west from the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia to the Pacific Ocean. At its widest point, it is approximately 800 kilometres in width
(Brookes et al.). Of all Canada’s regions, the Canadian Cordillera possesses the one of the most complex physical structures. Temperature, precipitation, and elevation levels are not uniform throughout the region, allowing for great biodiversity and variety within the region. Its biomes, climate, geography, and cities all combine to make the Canadian Cordillera a truly unique region of Canada.
