How to spot Canada from satellite imagery
Southern central Canada contains broad agricultural plains, while much of the Canadian Shield is a mixture of exposed rock, forest, and lakes. The Rockies form a western mountain belt. A view of the Arctic islands looks very different from either the southern prairie or the forested east.
Compare the prairie landscape west of Lake Winnipeg with the lake-rich Shield to its east. Keep a wider map open to follow where the terrain changes.
