Lumbering is developed on a large scale in Canada.

Give geographical reason:

Lumbering activity has been developed in Canada.

Answer 1

1. Lumbering is one of the most important economic activities in the areas covered by coniferous forests in Canada. In Canada, coniferous forests grow in large belts since the climate is suitable for the growth of coniferous trees.
2. In these forests, only one species of tree grows in one area, which is favourable for lumbering. The development of lumbering depends upon the type of wood, climate, market and transport facilities.
3. Commercial lumbering is developed in Canada because there is a coniferous forest region, which provides softwood, which is easy to cut, carry and durable.
4. The cool climate of Canada, well-developed transport facilities for the movement of logs, use of machinery for logging, large demand in the local and international market for paper and pulp industries, and limited development of other economic activities due to the extreme cold climate are the other factors responsible for lumbering in Canada.
