Ottawa
Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, is situated on the south bank of the Ottawa River at the confluence with the Rideau River. The city's topography is characterized by gently rolling terrain with elevations ranging from approximately 44 meters (144 feet) above sea level at the Ottawa River to its highest point of 166 meters (545 feet), located 2.6 kilometers (1.62 miles) south-southeast of Manion Corners. The landscape is predominantly composed of Paleozoic carbonate and shale lowlands, surrounded by more rugged Precambrian igneous and metamorphic formations. Notably, the nearby Gatineau Hills, part of the southern tip of the Canadian Shield, rise across the Ottawa River in Quebec, providing a contrasting hilly backdrop to the otherwise moderate relief of the Ottawa Valley.
