GREAT LAKES - ST. LAWRENCE LOWLANDS
Summary
The St. Lawrence Lowlands and the Great Lakes Lowlands are separated by a thin wedge of the Canadian Shield. The St. Lawrence Lowlands formed by a faulting action forming a rift valley. Now, the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Lowlands consist of flat plains, small hills, and deep river valleys that are composed of sedimentary rock. This region has lots of deep, fertile soil that enables large mixed forests to grow and the land to be of use for farmers.
