Ontario
Ontario's topography is a diverse tapestry shaped by its vast expanse and geological history. The Canadian Shield dominates the northern and central regions, characterized by ancient Precambrian rock formations, rugged terrain, and numerous lakes and rivers. In contrast, the Hudson Bay Lowlands in the far north are flat, swampy areas with sparse vegetation. Southern Ontario features the fertile Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Lowlands, where rolling hills and plains support agriculture and urban development. Prominent features like the Niagara Escarpment add to the province's varied landscape, offering cliffs and slopes that contrast with the surrounding lowlands. The highest elevation point is Ishpatina Ridge in the Temagami area, reaching 693 meters (2,274 feet) above sea level. Overall, Ontario's terrain ranges from flat plains to rolling hills and rugged highlands, reflecting its complex geological past.
