Canadian Shield--- also called the Precambrian Shield, Laurentian Shield, Bouclier Canadien (French), or Laurentian Plateau--- is a large shield covered by a thin layer of soil that forms the nucleus of the North American craton. It has a deep, common, joined bedrock region in eastern and central Canada and stretches North from the Great Lakes to the Arctic Ocean, covering half the country. It also includes most of Greenland and extends into the United States as the Adirondack Mountains and the Northern Highland. The Canadian Shield is U-shape, but almost circular, which gives it an appearance of a warrior's shield or a giant horseshoe, and is a subsection of the Laurentia craton signifying the area of greatest glacial impact (scraping down to bare rock) creating the thin soils.
It is the earth's greatest area of exposed Archaean rock. The metamorphic base rocks are mostly from the Precambrian Era (between 4.5 billion and 540 million years ago), and have been repeatedly uplifted and eroded. Today it consists largely of an area of low relief (1,000--2,000 ft/305--610 m above sea level) with a few monadnocks and low mountain ranges (including the Torngat and Laurentian Mountains) probably eroded from the plateau during the Cenozoic era.
Torngat Mountains are a mountain range located on the Labrador Peninsula at the northern tip of Labrador and eastern Quebec and are part of the Arctic Cordillera. This is the peninsula that separates Ungava Bay from the Atlantic Ocean.The highest point is Mount Caubvik (known as Mont D'Iberville) at 1,652 metres (5,420 ft).at 1,652 metres (5,420 ft). Rocks that comprise the Torngat Mountains are among the oldest on Earth and have been dated at over 3.9 billion years old. The terrain more than approximately 300 metres above sea level is predominantly rocky desert.
The Laurentian mountains are a mountain range in southern Quebec, Canada, north of the St. Lawrence River and Ottawa River, rising to a highest point of 1181 metres (3,875 feet) at Mont Raoul-Blanchard. The Gatineau, L'Assomption, Lièvre, Montmorency, Nord and St. Maurice rise in lakes in this mountain range.The foothills of the Laurentian range extend into Northeastern Ontario, particularly towards Bonnechere, Ontario as the Madawaska Highlands, a range of hills near the Madawaska River and Opeongo Lake, Opeongo Country (another range of high hills, near Round Lake) in Ontario near the town of Combermere.The Laurentian Mountain range is one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world, which started forming almost 540 Million years ago.

mount Everest is the oldest mountain in the worldNo one knows exactly what mountain is oldest because some of them formed after Pangea when lands collided together again. Other mountains formed from magma or lava. They used to be volcanoes but many years passed and they became unactive, so there is no straight forward answer!
from Canada to Colorado. 2nd answer: And on south as far as New Mexico.
