  • PHYSIOGRAPHY and RELATED SCIENCES Precipitation May Occur As Either Rain Or Snow
    40 PHYSIOGRAPHY AND RELATED SCIENCES precipitation may occur as either rain or snow. For this reason, the accumulation of snow on the ground during the winter varies rather widely from year to year, especially on the lowlands. Snow cover is generally more reliable in the highlands. Quebec Quebec is the largest province in Canada, stretching from the International Boundary on the south to Cape Wolstenholme on Hudson Strait, a distance of 1,200 miles. In the north, treeless tundra, wasteland and unproductive forest occupy 160,000 sq. miles; pro­ ductive forest covers slightly less than 225,000 sq. miles and about 25,000 sq. miles are utilized for agriculture. Physiographically, Quebec may be divided into three main regions: the Canadian Shield or the Laurentian Plateau, which occupies the greater part of the province, extending from the rugged plateau-like highlands north of the St. Lawrence River to Hudson Strait; the St. Lawrence Lowland; and the Appalachian Highlands. The Laurentian Plateau rises from sea level on the shores of Hudson and James Bays to 1,000 feet in Abitibi, 1,500 feet in the Laurentian Mountains and about 2,000 feet along the Labrador boundary. Summits rising to 3,900 feet are found in the Laurentide Park north of Quebec City and to 3,150 feet in Mont Tremblant Park west of Montreal. In general, however, the Laurentian Plateau is a surface of unbelievable monotony, literally strewn with lakes. Extending from Alabama to Newfoundland, the Appalachian Moun­ tains include southeastern Quebec. They reach their greatest extent in the Eastern Town­ ships and their greatest heights in the Gaspe Peninsula where Quebec's highest peak, Mount Jacques Cartier rises to 4,160 feet.

The City is beautifully situated on an island in the St. Lawrence River, just below its confluence with the Ottawa, and stretches along the north bank of that magnificent water­ way for seven miles. It is built on a series of terraces, the former levels of the river, or of an ancient lake, which terminate in Mount Royal, whose summit and wooded slopes form one of the grandest public pleasure grounds on the continent. It is a city of marked contrasts—where the pic­ turesque quaintness of a vanished age, is mingled with the luxury, culture, and enterprise of modern times; where the customs and usages of Old France and Young Canada, characteristic of the old city and new eras of civilization, harmoniously co-exist; where massive business blocks, costly public build­ ings, and private residences, rise side by side with grey old churches, sombre convents and nunneries, and grand cathedrals,whose magnificence and splen­ dour rival those of the Old World.
