Canada has six natural regions. The Atlantic provinces have a mixture of fertile valleys, small mountains and rugged forests. The Canadian Shield, which covers much of Ontario and Quebec, is the largest region, with rocky hills, evergreen forests and many lakes. To the south are lush forests and rich farmland along the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. This area is home to more than 60% of the population. The flat prairie provinces are known for their fields of wheat and canola. Further west are the high peaks, vast forests and rugged territory of the Rocky Mountains, which extend to the Pacific Ocean. In the Far North the ground is frozen year-round. No trees grow on the flat tundra. Canada is the country in the world that has the longest coastline.
