<p> Vegetation Regions of Canada: Making Connections</p><p>Activity A: Replicate the Natural Vegetation Regions of Canada map (Fig. 14-6) in your map set.</p><p>Activity B: Sketch and describe the leaves of a coniferous and deciduous tree in table 1 below using information from figure 14-11 of your textbook.</p><p>Activity C: Answer questions 5-8, 11 from p.170 in your textbook.</p><p>Activity D: “If you climb a mountain, you will find a similar sequence of vegetation to that you would find if you traveled from southern Canada to the high Arctic.” Using Figure 14-8 from your textbook, draw the types of vegetation you would expect to find a) on the transect in Figure 1 below and b) on the mountain in Figure 2.</p><p>Activity E: Complete Table 2 using information from pages 165-169 of your text</p><p>Table 1. Deciduous Description Deciduous Picture Coniferous Description Coniferous Picture</p><p>Figure 1. Figure 2.</p><p>Summary Questions</p><p>1. What are the 5 factors that make coniferous trees survive in harsh conditions (see Fig.14-10)?</p><p>2. Compare your Vegetation map of Canada to your Climate map of Canada. What are the similarities? What is the major difference? Table 2.
