The Canadian Shield is made up of mainly igneous and metamorphic rock. During the Glaciation period in Canada, around 15,000 years ago, some rock was eroded leaving a lower altitude for the shield. This helped the population growth as it is easier to forge children in a lower altitude. The further south in the shield you go the more chance you have to find people because of a higher temperature. This helps crop growth. In the northern area there is a more mountinous landscape this also hinders life there. The fact that people came thousands of years ago to live in the southern region also gives time for growth.
