Module 3: Physical Geography of Saskatchewan (Core)
Outcome
Explore Saskatchewan's landforms and natural environments and their relationship to the location of renewable and non-renewable resources.
Indicators
| (a) | Define physical geography. |
| (b) | Explain how the geological processes of weathering, evaporation and erosion transform the Earth's land surface over time. |
| (c) | Provide specific examples from Saskatchewan’s landscape that illustrate the numerous branches of physical geography (e.g., geomorphology, hydrology, glaciology, biogeography, climatology and geomatics). |
| (d) | Examine the impact of continental glaciation in shaping Saskatchewan’s key topographic features (e.g., Qu’Appelle valley). |
| (e) | Discuss the variance of current vegetation zones of Saskatchewan and why some areas are devoid of resource production (e.g., forestry in central Saskatchewan and environmentally protected areas). |
| (f) | Explain the difference between and provide local examples of renewable and non-renewable resource. |
| (g) | Describe how the physical geography and climate of Saskatchewan are unique to the rest of Canada and other parts of the world. |
| (h) | Identify where the most prominent natural resources are geographically located (e.g., clay and potash in southern regions and uranium in northern Saskatchewan). |
