    Tundra

    Tundra, which comes from a Sami word meaning “barren land,” refers to a treeless arctic region characterized by permafrost. Canada’s tundra is known for its freezing temperatures, lack of trees, low-growing vegetation and abundant rock outcrops. The southern boundary of tundra in Canada extends from the Mackenzie River delta to the southern reaches of Hudson Bay and northeast to the Labrador Peninsula. The term “alpine tundra” is often used to describe any area above the treeline in mountainous areas. But “alpine tundra” and “arctic tundra” are not interchangeable. While the two regions share some similarities, the differences are significant.

    Western Interior Seaway

    The Western Interior Seaway refers to the ancient inland sea that covered the interior of North America during the Cretaceous. At its greatest extent, the seaway covered a length of about 5,000 km, connecting the present-day Arctic Ocean with the Gulf of Mexico, and divided the North American continent into two land masses, Laramidia and Appalachia. The marine life that inhabited the Western Interior Seaway included plants such as algae, microscopic life such as radiolarians, invertebrates such as ammonites, belemnites, squid, crabs, snails, clams and shrimp, and vertebrates such as fish, sharks, rays, skates, seabirds, turtles, crocodiles and the extinct marine reptiles, mosasaurs and plesiosaurs. Today, many of the natural resources mined in the western interior of North America, such as coal, petroleum products and bentonite clay, are a result of particular environments created by the Western Interior Seaway.
