Saint Lawrence Lowlands - Differences in Grouping

Differences in Grouping

There are some differences in terminology by Canadian and American geographers. American geographers group the lowlands of the Great Lakes basin with the Great Plains as part of the Interior Plains, while for Canadian geographers these are separated by hundreds of miles of harsh Shield. American geographers group the Adirondacks of New York into Appalachia and do not acknowledge their common origins with the shield intrusion into Minnesota, again because of wide separation. Now the Saint Lawrence Lowlands is beautiful land with an abundance of wildlife, vegetation, and bodies of water. It is good farming land because of its arable soil.
