第二十三章加拿大地理和历史 Ⅰ.地理特点 1.面积与所处位置 加拿大是世界上仅次于俄国的第二大国家。它的陆地面积大约为一千万平方公里(精确数字为9，976，186平方公里)。它覆盖了近2/5的北美大陆。从北到南，加拿大的辽阔领土几乎从北极绵延至北纬45°，约3200公里。从东到西，它从大西洋延伸到太平洋，约6400公里。加拿大位于美国以北。但有一部分位于美国缅因州以东，还有一部分位于从布法罗到底特律的最近直线上，这部分的加拿大区域比布法罗和底特律还要靠南。北纬45°线标出了加拿大同美国北部的佛蒙特和纽约的分界线。然而，加拿大的大部分地区位于北纬49°以北。加拿大和美国共有一条6738公里的边界线，这条边界线一百多年来从不设防，每天有成千的旅游者从这里通过。 加拿大拥有如此辽阔的领土，它的人口却只有二千九百万(1994)。加拿大的大部分地区人口稀疏。近89%的国土没有常住人口。北部的许多地区杳无人烟，遍布森林或长年冰冻的北极荒地。大约80%的加拿大人住在临近美国边界的大城市中，其中60%的人口集中在魁北克域和安大略湖的西端之间。多伦多是加拿大最大的城市，有三百四十多万人。蒙特利尔是第二大城市，人口为二百九十多万，第三大城市是温哥华，它有一百二十多万人。大多数加拿大的城市都比这三个城市小得多。 加拿大有四大人口密集区：(1)大西洋沿岸的农业、矿业和渔业城市；(2)坐落在魁北克省和安大略省南部以制造业为主的大城市；(3)平原地区以小麦、养牛和采油业为主的城市； (4)不列颠哥伦比亚省的太平洋沿岸。北纬55°以北的大部分地区主要居住着捕猎者、捕鱼者和采矿者。著名的加拿大骑警是这些孤立的地区的法律和秩序的象征。 2.地形 加拿大有着多种多样的地形。在东部，那些多山的沿海省份在圣劳伦斯湾和大西洋有着一条不规则的海岸线。圣劳伦斯平原和内陆平原是主要的耕作区。它们被一个森林密布的高原分隔开，这一高原始于苏必利尔湖和休伦湖。再向西至太平洋，由北到南是绵延的山脉，其中包括落基山脉，海岸山脉的太平洋沿岸往往有海峡伸入陆地。加拿大的最高峰为洛根峰(6050m)，位于加拿大的西北部的育科恩辖区内。 加拿大有许多湖泊，除了在美国边境上的几个大湖区以外，还有九个长为161公里和三十五个长为80多公里的湖泊。 两个主要的河流系统，是马更些河和圣劳伦斯河。连同其支流在内，圣劳伦斯河域的通航里程为3508公里。流经加拿大地盾和西部落基山脉之间的马更些河，是北美的第二大河。马更些河的主流长1609公里。 3.气候 除萨斯喀彻温省的西南部和阿尔伯达省的东南部以外，加拿大的其他地区降水充足。然而，整个加拿大的气候是多变的。从东部到加拿大大草原地区为潮湿的大陆性气候，在不列颠哥伦比亚省的西南部是与美国的华盛顿和俄勒冈州相似的海洋性气候，再往北的地区位于四季长青的亚北极区针叶林带，最北的地方是极地气候，不长树木的苔原带。苔原带在某种程度上比针叶林带暖和，因其更靠近海洋。 总的说来，加拿大的气候并不那么宜人。大部分地区有着漫长而寒冷的冬季，且到处是很深的积雪。拉布拉多寒流使加拿大东部海岸非常寒冷，而吹过哈得孙湾的冷风使内陆地区变得很冷。但是，加拿大绝不是一个到处都常年积雪的地方。八月上旬，东部地区就像热带地区一样炎热、潮湿，在温哥华岛，人们在圣诞节采摘最后一季的玫瑰，二月底他们可采摘到第一季的水仙花。因为加拿大大部分地区气候寒冷，大多数人都居住在南部边境地区。 4.地理区域
