Western Canada has experienced more mountain-building than eastern Canada due to tectonic plate movement. The collision of the Pacific Plate with the North American Plate along the western coast has led to the creation of the Rocky Mountains and Coast Mountains. In contrast, eastern Canada has been relatively stable geologically, resulting in fewer mountain-building events.
