Canada The Munising Group or Formation is a 1,700 feet (520 m) thick, white to light grey [ 1 ] Cambrian sedimentary unit that crops out in Michigan and (to a lesser extent) Ontario . At one end of its extent, it comprises a basal conglomerate overlain by the Chapel Rock Member and the Miners Castle Member; elsewhere, it comprises the Eau ...
A map of the Ecological regions of Quebec shows the river rising and flowing south through the eastern spruce/moss domain of the boreal zone. [13] The average annual temperature in the region is 0 °C (32 °F). The warmest month is July, when the average temperature is 16 °C (61 °F), and the coldest is January, with −17 °C (1 °F). [14]
The Red River is about 885 kilometres (550 mi) long, [2] of which about 635 kilometres (395 mi) are in the United States and about 255 kilometres (158 mi) are in Canada. [3] The river falls 70 metres (230 ft) on its trip to Lake Winnipeg, where it spreads into the vast deltaic wetland known as Netley Marsh.
The environment of deposition for these sediments has changed, varying spatially and temporally. When the ocean level was high shallow marine deposits occurred; when they were low fluvial and deltaic deposits form the majority of mass. [26] From the Triassic until the early Jurassic, faulting localized as extension faulting and wrench faulting.
Dunvegan Sandstone. The Dunvegan Formation is composed of marine, and deltaic sandstone with thin shale interbeds in the Peace River Country. East of Dunvegan, Alberta it is of marine origin, and in its western reaches in British Columbia it was deposited in a continental facies, where the sandstone becomes more conglomeratic.
Gething Formation is a stratigraphic unit of Lower Cretaceous age in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.It is present in northeastern British Columbia and western Alberta, and includes economically important coal deposits.
By 2007 the Alberta natural bitumen deposits were the source of over one third of the crude oil produced in Canada. [ 5 ] As a result of the oil price increases since 2003 , the number of major mining , upgrading and thermal in-situ projects has grown to some 46 existing and proposed projects, encompassing 135 project expansion phases in ...
