Landform

The landscape of Newfoundland and Labrador has had a remarkable geological history, formed over many millions of years by continental collision, mountain-building, volcanoes, oceans, rivers and ice sheets.

The Strait of Belle Isle divides the province into its two geographical components, Labrador and the island of Newfoundland, and closely approximates a division of great geological significance. Labrador is the easternmost part of the Canadian Shield, a vast area made up mostly of plutonic and metamorphic rocks, some of which are the oldest known on Earth.

Its capital, St. John's, is in the same latitude (47½°) as Quebec, Duluth, Seattle, Paris, and Sakhalin island in the Pacific; but owing to its oceanic environment the latter region is its sole homo clime.
