Physiographic Regions of Canada

Physiographic Regions of Canada Canada’s landmass is very diversified and comprises 7 distinctive areas called physiographic regions, each of which has its own unique topography and geology. Physiographic regions are large areas that share similar relief and landforms shaped by common geomorphic processes and geological history. Physiographic regions are often used to describe Canada’s geography to show regional differences in climate, vegetation, population and the economy. This dataset collection contains three interrelated datasets mapping the location of Canada’s 7 different physiographic regions, their 21 subregions and many divisions (landforms). 2022-01-12 Natural Resources Canada FGP-PGF@NRCan-RNCan.gc.ca Government and PoliticsNature and EnvironmentPhysiographic Regions of CanadaPhysiography of CanadaEnvironmentGeologyGeological maps Physiographic RegionsESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/rest/services/NRCan/phys_reg_en/MapServer Physiographic RegionsESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/rest/services/NRCan/phys_reg_fr/MapServer Physiographic RegionsFGDB/GDB https://ftp.maps.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/Geology_Geologie/physiographic_regions_physiographiques/phys_reg.gdb.zip Physiographic RegionsMXD https://ftp.maps.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/Geology_Geologie/physiographic_regions_physiographiques/phys_reg_en.mxd Physiographic RegionsMXD https://ftp.maps.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/Geology_Geologie/physiographic_regions_physiographiques/phys_reg_fr.mxd Physiographic RegionsWMS https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/services/NRCan/phys_reg_en/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.3.0&layers=2&legend_format=image%2Fpng&feature_info_type=text%2Fhtml Physiographic RegionsWMS https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/services/NRCan/phys_reg_fr/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.3.0&layers=2&legend_format=image%2Fpng&feature_info_type=text%2Fhtml Physiographic Regions of Canada (1970)JP2 https://geoscan.nrcan.gc.ca/starweb/geoscan/servlet.starweb?path=geoscan/fulle.web&search1=R=293408 Physiographic Regions of CanadaHTML https://atlas.gc.ca/phys/
