Its amazing how dimwits are clueless about the Niagara Escarpment and its geological composition.
Hamilton, Ontario, is on the escarpment in such a way that the north end of the city is below and the south part above approx. 100m
Commonly referred to as "The Mountain" by its residents, many roads or "mountain accesses" join the urban core below with the suburban expansion above.
From 1892 to 1936, the Hamilton Incline Railway transported people up and down "The Mountain".
The Canadian shield is part of the Niagara Escarpment which stretches from upstate New York, crossing into Canada at Niagara Falls and continuing northward through the Bruce Peninsula, to curve back around the western side of Lake Michigan.
The Canadian Shield is rich in natural resources, including minerals, forests and freshwater.
The Canadian Shield is one of the world's richest areas in terms of mineral ores.
It is filled with substantial deposits of nickel, gold, silver, and copper.
There are many mining towns and farmland extracting these minerals.
Mining began in the region in the mid-19th century and was key to Canada's economic development.
