Detailed explanation-1: -Southern Canada (near the Great Lakes region) experiences the highest levels of acid rain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because the soil in the land is very rich with all these types of minerals, miners have taken advantage of this by extensively digging and mining the area which has caused the area of land with these minerals to be ruined and unsalvageable.
Detailed explanation-3: -The primary environmental disaster in the Canadian Shield is deforestation. Since the Shield is engulfed with immense forests, it enchants many industries dealing with timber. Due to the high number of trees, the rate of cutting them down is high for making furniture, paper, and many others.
Detailed explanation-4: -Some of the resources that the Canadian Shield gives to Canadians are: 1) Furs-from fur bearing animals (hunting and trapping is still a large industry). 2) Minerals-this makes a lot of sense because the Shield is solid rock. Canadians extract copper, gold, nickel, zinc and lead from this area.
Detailed explanation-5: -Mines often contaminate the soil, contaminate water and disrupt the local ecosystem.
