The badlands where formed by thawing. the badlands where once covered in water and then it froze for the iceage.........then all the ice melted and all there was left was layers of rocks and hoodoos.
It's a big place. According to the Canadian Badlands website, www.canadianbadlands.com the Canadian Badlands covers "a broad swath of southern and eastern Alberta". A map there shows that it extends roughly south from Red Deer, Alberta to the border with the state of Montana - about 450km or 280 miles, and east from Calgary to the border with the province of Saskatchewan - about 350km or 220 miles. That would make it approximately 157,500 to 159,543 square kilometres, or 60,811 to 61,600 square miles in area.
The Canadian Badlands have cacti, scorpions and rattlesnakes. They're smaller in size than what you would find in the American Southwest but they're there nonetheless. I always looked at the Canadian Badlands to be a temperate desert much like the Pacific Northwest is a temperate rain forest. Alex Medicine Hat I'm afraid Alex is incorrect. Badlands are simply an eroded landform, making them part of whatever biome/ecosystem they are located in, so they are not deserts in their own right, although some (such as those in the Southwestern USA) are indeed located in deserts. The badlands of Alberta (as well as Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota) are located solidly within prairie areas, so they have the same climate as the rest of the prairie surrounding them, meaning they receive just as much rain and snowfall as surrounding areas. A desert is, roughly defined, an area that usually gets less than 250mm of precipitation annually, and the driest places in Alberta still get over 300mm annually. You could say that the Alberta badlands are located in a semi-desert, as the western half of the prairies are semi-arid (and deserts are arid), but the prairie badlands are not deserts themselves, nor are they located in desert areas. As well, one can just as easily find cacti, scorpions and rattlesnakes in prairie grassland areas so long as the areas are not too disturbed by humans or livestock. Brett Brooks Brett.

Two of the most famous badlands are the Makoshika State Park in Montana and the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. There is also The Big Muddy Badlands in Saskatchewan, Canada and Valle de la Luna in Argentina.
In Alberta, geode hunting can primarily be enjoyed in the Drumheller area, particularly around the Hoodoos and the Badlands, where opportunities to find various minerals and fossils abound. The area near the town of Vulcan is also known for its geode deposits. Always remember to check local regulations and obtain any necessary permits before collecting rocks or fossils.

We don't have any badlands in the sense that there are badlands in the United States. We do have several areas of dry land, and rocky land formations, however. Probably the most similar would be the Drumheller, Alberta area.
The Badlands are located near Drumheller, Alberta, which is approximately 330 km southeast of Whitecourt. The Badlands can be found within the Red Deer River valley in the Canadian province of Alberta.
Drumheller Alberta- is kind of the central of dinosaur fossils.
They form by earthquakes
Fossils are a key part of Alberta's identity due to the province's rich fossil heritage, particularly in the Badlands region. Dinosaur fossils, such as those found in Drumheller, have put Alberta on the map as a world-renowned destination for paleontological discoveries. This has shaped Alberta's image as a significant contributor to the field of paleontology and a hub for dinosaur enthusiasts and researchers.
The name was given due to the difficulty early settlers had there - the land was "bad".
It was found near the Badlands in Drumheller.
The Alberta badlands are home to a variety of plant and animal species. Some of the common plants include prickly pear cactus, sagebrush, and buffalo grass. Animals you may find in this region include mule deer, pronghorn antelope, rattlesnakes, and various bird species like hawks and eagles.
