Atlantic Upland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atlantic Upland, which is cut by lowlands, stretches over most of southern Nova Scotia. The surface of the Atlantic Upland rises from sea level on the Atlantic shore to about 180 to 200 m (about 600 to 700 ft) at the southern side of the Annapolis Valley.
Nova Scotia can be divided into four major geographical regions. The other 3 are the Highlands, the Annapolis Lowland and the Maritime Plain. Most of the rivers on the mainland part of the province radiate outward in the Atlantic Uplands. The rivers are generally short and narrow. Examples of these rivers include the La Have, Shubernacadie, and Mersey.
