The Topography of Newfoundland
The Beothuks lived on the island of Newfoundland, before they went extinct. Newfoundland is a far eastern canadian province that is 111,390 square kilometres including the small islands surrounding, the one large. Newfoundland is a mountainous province, though the mountains may not be very tall and pointed. They are however more of a gradual slope up and down, and very eroded because many of the mountains are over 300,000,000 years old, and worn down due to the elements (eg rain, snow, wind). Newfoundland is part of the Appalachian Region and that stretches from Alabama to Newfoundland. Though the region is not only mountainous, but also contain many fertile plateaus and valleys.
